When you think New Balance, your mind probably first goes to super comfy dad shoes, like the classic New Balance 574 – a sneaker silhouette synonymous with comfort and looking good on grocery store runs.
You probably don’t think “Goretex” and the outdoor adventure lifestyle it entails, along with a pair of New Balances that are waterproof and windproof, yet highly breathable.
New Balance 2002RX Goretex Sneaker is here to change that. It’s based on the New Balance 2002R, the brand’s reimagined take on running and athletic shoes of the early 2000s, back when we all had fewer gray hairs and a better jumpshot.
This technical running shoe that combines style, comfort, and performance. With a sleek mesh and suede overlay upper, the 2002RX offers the throwback vibe of your favorite pair of gym class shoes with unparalleled comfort. Equipped with GORE-TEX® waterproof fabric, the shoe shields your feet from the elements while you’re running, all while maintaining breathability, while the N-ergy outsole and Stability Web technology provide exceptional shock absorption and arch support. It’s enhanced with with ABZORB midsole and ABZORB SBS heel cushioning for impact protection for your running adventures.
