The New Balance 2002R “Refined Future” pack was one of the most popular sneaker releases last year and to keep the momentum going in 2022, the Boston-based sportswear brand has more colorways of the model coming soon.

Newly leaked images of two upcoming New Balance 2002R styles were shared by @Woganwodeyang on Instagram, including a pair dressed in one of the brand’s heritage colorways. Both iterations of the 2002R feature a deconstructed upper from the Yue Wu-designed “Refined Future” pack, with one pair donning the OG-styled “Steel Blue” makeup made famous on the 1300 alongside another dark blue colorway. Rounding out the look for both pairs is the two-tone N-Ergy midsole and a dark blue outsole.

Despite an early look from @Woganwodeyang, release details for this set of New Balance 2002R styles have not yet been announced by the brand. Check back soon to Sole Collector for official updates.

UPDATE (09/21): Following their overseas release, New York City-based boutique Extra Butter has confirmed that the new set of “Refined Future” New Balance 2002R colorways will launch exclusively at its doors and online on Thursday, Sept. 29. A wider release of the pack is coming to select North American stockists later this year.
