Weatherproof a cult classic with the New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX “Protection Pack Black Magnet,” released on January 1, 2026.
This all-weather edition of the Protection Pack dresses the 2002R in a stealthy Black/Magnet palette, combining a GORE-TEX waterproof upper with a breathable mesh base and rough-cut suede overlays for the line’s signature deconstructed aesthetic. Jagged panel edges, tonal branding, and muted contrast keep the look raw yet refined.

Underfoot, a performance-driven setup blends ABZORB cushioning, N-ergy shock absorption, and a Stability Web shank for all-day comfort and stability, finished with a durable rubber outsole for reliable traction in wet conditions. Rugged, functional, and unmistakably Protection Pack—the Black Magnet GORE-TEX is built for real-world wear, rain or shine.
