Newness is driving headlines for the Boston brand in 2025, illustrated by entirely fresh faces like the New Balance 2000 and New Balance 2010. However, don’t sleep on their ability to meet the times with their stable of old favorites. The New Balance 2002R may be their best asset in that daily driver category, the model now looking ahead to the warmer months with a sprightly “Ice Wine” edition.

Even if the silhouette has receded as a high-heat commodity, eminently styleable composition and the ABZORB cushioning unit utilized on silhouettes like the New Balance 1906R still offer one of the more reliable models to add to your rotation. Capturing “Ice Wine” on the New Balance 2002R is a suitable choice as the opening days of Spring approach, an easy way to bring seasonal flair to your wardrobe without breaking the bank or tilting too far towards statement wear.
