The New Balance 2002R Reflection Sepia takes inspiration from running shoes from the early 2000s and creates a stylish pair of kicks in a subtle, elegant colorway.


The Reflection Sepia New Balance 2002R begins with an upper base of grayish-white denim. Overlays in tonal suede and leather are layered across the upper, offering the classic New Balance style as well as support. The suede overlay at the heel is perforated for increased breathability, and the side-panel N pops in white denim. An off-white ABZORB midsole features ABZORB SBS at the heel in order to provide ultimate cushioning as well as energy return. The black rubber outsole is composed of N-ergy for optimum shock absorption and Stability Web technology for enhanced arch support.


The details we most appreciate about this pair of sneakers are the golden brown hits of contrast in the tumbled leather heel tab, as well as in the branding on the midsole and outsole.
