New Balance 2002R

GORE-TEX®

Suede: Fine natural leather with a brushed finish that features a soft feel and elegant look. It offers good breathability and high wearing comfort, while gradually adapting to the shape of the foot. The material is both durable and flexible, ensuring comfort in everyday use. Suede is the ideal choice for footwear where the emphasis is on style, comfort and timeless design.

Textile: Textile uppers are a lightweight and highly breathable upper construction solution that uses woven or knitted structures of natural and synthetic fibres. This type of upper is valued in the footwear industry for its extraordinary ability to adapt to the shape of the foot, minimising the formation of blisters and ensuring high user comfort. Thanks to the porous structure of the material, textile uppers allow for efficient heat and moisture dissipation, which is crucial for maintaining an optimal microclimate even under increased physical stress. In addition, modern textile processing technologies allow reinforcement zones to be integrated directly into the knit, achieving an ideal balance between stability and flexibility.

Gore-tex: Designed to provide maximum protection against water and wind while maintaining high breathability. The membrane effectively prevents the penetration of moisture from the outside while allowing sweat to wick away from the foot. As a result, the foot remains dry and comfortable even in challenging weather conditions. The GORE-TEX upper is the ideal choice for outdoor footwear where the emphasis is on functionality, durability and long-term comfort.

N-ergy cushioning: Cushioning technology that is designed for maximum shock absorption and running comfort. It uses materials that adapt to the movement of the foot and provide optimal cushioning with every step, improving stability and reducing fatigue during long runs or intense activity.

Ndurance®: A highly durable rubber compound developed by New Balance that is strategically placed in the areas of the sole with the greatest risk of wear. This technology has been designed to provide maximum durability even under extreme loads such as braking, rapid changes of direction or movement on abrasive surfaces (asphalt, concrete, tennis courts). Thanks to its specific formulation, it significantly extends the life of the entire shoe without negatively affecting the grip or flexibility of the sole. You will find Ndurance® especially in running, tennis and skate models where it is critically important that the sole does not wear out prematurely in the heel and toe area.
