Built for all conditions, the New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX “Protection Pack Slate Grey,” released on January 1, 2026.
This weather-ready edition of the cult-favorite Protection Pack dresses the 2002R in a muted Slate Grey palette, combining a breathable GORE-TEX waterproof membrane with a mesh base and rough-cut suede overlays for the line’s signature deconstructed aesthetic. Jagged panel edges, tonal branding, and layered greys deliver a rugged yet refined look designed for everyday wear.

Underfoot, the performance-driven setup blends ABZORB cushioning, N-ergy shock absorption, and a Stability Web shank for long-lasting comfort and support, finished with a durable rubber outsole for confident traction in wet and cold conditions. Functional, understated, and unmistakably Protection Pack—the Slate Grey GORE-TEX is built for real-world rotation.
