The New Balance 2002R Lunar New Year Concrete is part of the New Balance’s top-tier collection, and this retro rendition is inspired by Year of the Rabbit.

A mesh underlay in a calm taupe hue traverses from the upper of this New Balance 2002R and is visible on the quarter panels and heel. The mudguard is a concrete-colored suede overlay. On the textile upper, slate grey strips of an underlay are visible. The concrete colorway adorns most of the shoe, making appearances on the quarter panels, eye stay, and part of the heel counter. The New Balance “N” logo is embossed on the quarters and is embellished with embroidery on its outlines.

Our experts think the red accents on the New Balance 2002R Lunar New Year Concrete add a vibrant feel to the neutral concrete, slate grey, and taupe colorway. The New Balance branding on the tongue and the “NB” logo on the counter have a red hue. This shoe’s release date was marked as December 30, 2022.
