Just bought this one for the second time this year. This has to be my favorite and go to model and colorway among all NBs. It looks great when clean or dirty. It's one of those shoes that can be in your rotation all year round, like eggs for breakfast, never going out of style.
I picked up the Salehe Bembury 2002r collab and holy smokes, what an amazing shoe. Sneaker of the Year imo. Bone colorway or the brown Thisisneverthat collab up next for me. Great vid!
I wonder if these use the same suede as the Tokyo Design Studio R_C 1300s that are made in China. Those use leftover materials from US factories so the suede is very good.
Sizing opinions? I bought the dark grey in my usual size and found there slightly narrow at the toe. Still comfortable enough to wear though. Compared to the 990, there definitely slightly slimmer. What’s your thoughts?
If wide feet I’d go up half a size, instead of hoping they will stretch. I went up up a half, I’m usually a US mens 9 in most shoes unless narrow toe box or run small. Better to have some extra room for comfort than nothing at all🤷🏾♂️ Waiting for the shoes to arrive, and I hope they fit just right🙄🙏🏾
How does the size of these compare with the 992 in particular? Because the sole of the 992 is so narrow I can't wear them at all. It digs into the underside of the outside of the heel and the underside of the pinky toe.
Man you’re reviews are like new balance shoes always top notch👌👌👌 by the way is there a review coming up for the 997 shoe palace great white shark? Thanks🤟
The bone CW is the best CW for the 2002R. Too bad my size instantly sold out. The green CW is not bad, but also not quite good enough to pull the trigger.
I ordered this one last night, but the pics online are so deceiving in terms of the colorway. I actually wanted the grey version, but of course sold out. In every picture this is seen as more of a warm beige color with a yellow undertone. But here it's basically a dirty nude with a hint of purple, and grey. Ugh.
I’m a 13 on the wider side & after watching a different review on this model, it was rumored to run small. So it makes me worried to give them a shot, but if you say TTS I’ll go for them
They’re small compared to most New Balances. So depends how you define “true size”. I go half down from my actual measured foot size for a lot of NB models but these ones I can stick tts. Hope that makes sense.
Bone colourway Is just really cool. Both nice tho. Made in. U. S. A or. Uk range is always brilliant quality - hopefully the Vietnam pair are of the usual high standard. 👍
I managed to cop a couple 992s for my collection and the 2002R is next in line on my New Balance cop list! I really like the look of these shoes in almost every colorway. The bone color is really nice on these! Glad to hear the quality wasn't impacted much :D

Thank you! You’re my go to for New Balance sizing, I watch your videos before buying and you’ve been on the money each time.

Yup. I feel the same way, packaging, story, the shoe itself, top notch on all fronts.
my fav is still jjjjound 992 grey colorway
Copped these on sale $98 love the versatility on these ❤
Loving all the New Balance videos man, keep up the amazing work
Just bought these in the grey color - totally agree on quality and comfort - now I want the bone colorway!👍
Good vid 👍 and thank you for the thorough review, brother! Just order the 2002R “Incense” colorway this past weekend. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Love you're reviews brah. Keep up the good work. Btw, you're my go to guy for sizing. Straight up!
I went all white, All leather .
Pretty impressed and a fair price.
Great video! I was so excited I was able to cop a pair of these in this color way ! 🤗❤️ so excited for my first pair of New Balances!
Congrats! You’ll love them
These again reinforce why I love new balance trainers. Good review. 👌👍
i picked the grey color instead, it was a tough choice tho
They are really nice SG, I need to pick up a pair of these soon, another great review mate
They remind me of the Zoom Vomero 5
True
They're both 2010 performance runners

Oh wow, nice! Just entered a raffle for the 2002r collab with thisisneverthat. Hopefully that means I'll win a pair. Great vid as always!👌
I actually won them on END. Thanks for the luck Sean!
a raffle isnt a giveaway with a raffle you can just buy the show but still congrats

such a sick shoe, def gotta cop a pair
awesome review man
Thanks!
my problem with this shoe is that the paint logo was chipping off😬
Would you say it’s not comfortable than either one of 990v4 or v5?
Sean do these feel like the new balance 993 bodega? I have the bodegas and wanted to know if they feel like the same fit?
You mean 990 v3? These fit more true to size. Bodega I went half down.
The bone CW is the best CW for the 2002R. Too bad my size instantly sold out. The green CW is not bad, but also not quite good enough to pull the trigger.
hey Sean! im looking for some beaters and saw these on sale at theclosetinc. Could these hold up well against the elements?
Nope the suede would get destroyed lol
Waiting for your review of the 380 calcite

Lolol
Hey Sean, appreciate if you can review the Nike Killshot 2 Leather. Not too sure about the sizing to pull the trigger :(.
2020 is basically New Balance’s year
Waiting for a black Friday deal on these.
Crazy enough there was none 🤣 luckily I found a pair for $100
@@ayylando Bought the thisisneverthat collab for retail. Wanted a general release for beaters.

Quality is but crafting could be much better. They don't have the same large, clean, double stitch line that MiU pairs have
I'll just comment coz I'm early and i know the vid is gonna be dope
Hahah thanks Daniel
I believe it''s actually pig skin nubuck. I just grabbed the bone color yesterday
How to clean these
I managed to cop a couple 992s for my collection and the 2002R is next in line on my New Balance cop list!
I really like the look of these shoes in almost every colorway. The bone color is really nice on these!
Glad to hear the quality wasn't impacted much :D
same size as the 993?
993 fit roomier.
@@SeanGo thanks
Could I go down a size?
Ft. Abell nope!
Nice vid.
What about sizing?
Dabeam Dabeam watch the video I mention it in detail
What pants Sea?
Uniqlo
Too bad is sold out! Do you know if it will be restocked?
This shoe actually borrows its midsole from the New Balance 860V2, so it's kind of a hybrid shoe. These look great!
Cool thx for the heads up!
A beautiful simple and really nice trainer. 👌👍
New Balance 2002 is a running shoe that debuted in 2010🤨
Yes, 2002 is the model name not the year. It’s like the New Balance 992, it released in 2006 originally, not in the stone ages of 992 AD.
Almost look like Nike Shox except not ugly
Edit: oh you literally mention this halfway through the review lmao
Lmfao
The Bone colorway is way better than Marblehead.
🏆
Cool.
That R branding looks like something out of a civic type R. Boy racer type vibes lol.
Lolll
