Reinforced toe cap protects against rock impacts
The New Balance 2002R "Blue Oasis" is a colorway of the lifestyle shoe with a hard-to-miss appearance. The 2002R was first released in 2010 as a performance runner before becoming a casual style in more recent years. On the Blue Oasis, the colorway features Blue Oasis-colored mesh on the toe and forefoot, and Shadow Grey mesh on the collar. The suede overlays on the forefoot and mid-panel appear in Blue Oasis, while the suede overlays on the back of the shoe are designed in Shadow Grey, giving the shoe a split design. A grey N appears on the sides, while 2002R detailing can be found on the lateral side of the heel. Underfoot, New Balance completes the look of the shoe with a vintage-looking cream N-ergy midsole.
