It’s not uncommon for a brand’s in-house color team to produce something that rivals the collaborations. New Balance has flexed those guns on a regular basis as they’ve displayed some outstanding colorways of their mainstay icons like the New Balance 550 and especially the New Balance 1906R.

The silhouette that really grabbed the attention of the masses is easily the 2002R, seen here in its latest in-line colorway for the Fall 2024 season. With a soft Sandstone shade on the suede exterior, NB adds a shade of Light Arctic Grey on the base, giving off a slightly bluish hue. The Timberwolf, itself a grey shade with a touch of cream, appears on the underlays, while a pop of gum brown peeks through the heel below the cushioning.
