New Balance Drops Highly Anticipated “Protection Pack” with Three Fresh Colorways

New Balance has been dominating the sneaker scene for the past decade, and their latest release is sure to make waves. The “Protection Pack” series, which first debuted in 2021 with the 2002R model, has been a huge success for the American sportswear brand. This deconstructed approach to design has resulted in a wide range of colorways for the 2002R, as well as other popular models like the 1906R.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there. New Balance Europe has just announced the return of the original three 2002R “Protection Pack” looks. The first colorway, “Rain Cloud/Magnet,” features a layered build with various shades of gray and an aged outsole. The “Sea Salt/NB White” and “Phantom/Magnet” colorways follow a similar design, with white and dark gray finishes respectively.

While the release date for the US has not been officially announced, New Balance’s European website has listed the shoes as dropping on June 4 for €180 EUR (approximately $201 USD). It’s safe to assume that the global release will also be on this date, with a price point of $180 USD in the US.

Don’t miss out on the highly anticipated return of the New Balance 2002R “Protection Pack.” Keep an eye out for its release and be ready to snag a pair before they sell out. Trust us, you don’t want to miss out on these stylish and functional kicks.
