New Balance continues to touch down with fresh 2002Rs that are perfect for colder weather fashion. While this latest arrival doesn’t feature Cordura or GORE-TEX fabric, it slots seamlessly into autumn and winter wardrobes off color alone.

Official images showcase a “Driftwood” and “Rich Earth” mix up top, with dark “Timberwolf” painting the entire sole unit. As fas as materials go, these take a path well traveled with suede overlays and a breathable mesh base. Differing from most 2002Rs, however, the New Balance quarter logo is stitched flush with the base and doesn’t feature the usual 3M border.

The New Balance 2002R “Driftwood” retails for $145 and is available now via the New Balance website. Take advantage of the purchase links in our Kicksfinder widget below for a swift checkout and tap our Sneaker Release Dates page to preview other upcoming New Balance releases.

Speaking of which, the controversial New Balance 1906 loafer is releasing in black in December.
