Founded by William J. Riley in 1906, New Balance started small, producing highly flexible, three-point arch supports for those that suffered discomfort wearing shoes, all inspired by the daily balancing acts performed by Williams’ own backyard chickens as they nimbly navigated the coop. Chasing supportive, innovative comfort from the moment it was born over a century ago, New Balance would become a sporting shoe manufacturer of import among both athletes and basketballers, loved for its specialist footwear.
Rolling on to 1972, under new owner Jim Davis, New Balance foresaw a shift in the market. Hoping to ride the wave of casual style and streetwear, they began a push for leisure time products and comfy, all-day pieces that would eventually be sought-after from coast to coast and beyond, all renowned for their quality and comfort. From retro-inspired icons such as the 327 and 420 to the newer Fresh Foam cushioning technology pieces of today, New Balance has never stopped developing and has a deep collection of classic leather and suede silhouettes that will always look and feel superb.

2002R
Released in 2010, the original 2002 was a technical performance runner, stacking up some of NB’s latest technologies, including a full-length N-ERGY midsole with its distinctive pod design. Unfortunately, it didn’t really catch on, appreciated but languishing in the catalogues to be reborn later. Roll on to 2019 and suddenly the fashion world is obsessed with chunky heels and the hunt is on to find those archived, retro classics hidden deep in the history of key players like New Balance. Once again reborn as the 2002R under the watchful eye of NB Japan’s Tetsuya Shono, this lifestyle shoe brings the hybrid, comfort midsole of its cousin the 860v2, showing off the signature N-ERGY cushioning in the heel. Truly a textbook case of relaunched popularity, the 2002R series is now blessed with an expanding range of new colourways and designs, ideal for elevating any look you’re putting together.
