size? is cooking up another exclusive release with New Balance this season, following up on their “Bacon” 860v2 from last year. This time, the 2002R Protection Pack model is their canvas, coming in three colors this Spring.
New Balance’s “Protection” series of the 2002R was so immensely popular after its initial release that the rough-edged version became a seasonal staple for the last four years. Also known as “Refined Future”, the jagged cuts even found their way onto the 1906R when that model made its debut in 2022. Now, New Balance is handing over the reins to their frequent collaborator, London’s size? to create their own three colorways of the fan-favorite model.
size? is one of the best and most prolific collaborators in the world of sneakers. The London-based retailer is constantly putting out new exclusive releases, keeping their releases fairly minimal by not going too crazy with added details, instead opting for new original color schemes. For their take on the 2002R Protection pack, they’ve drafted three new styles of the silhouette in neutral colors. The first gives the retro runner an all-silver makeover, while the second comes almost entirely in black with hints of grey. The third style features several different shades of brown across the layered upper. All three pairs are united by butter yellow laces on top.
