Often, the greatest burden on any sneakerhead is the fragility of good weather, especially if you live in the Nordics like we do in Denmark. Suede, we love it, but the rain hates it and loves to ruin it, so with their latest 2002R, New Balance is answering our prayers by linking up with GORE-TEX™! That’s right, this gorgeous wonder of mesh, leather, and suede is fully GORE-TEX ™ treated to be waterproof. Dropping in a delicious black coffee colorway, this slick retro runner features a cream mesh base layered with matte nubuck and ultra-luxe mocha suede.
