  • In this video I review the New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Mirage Grey. Following the huge success of the original Protection Pack, New Balance has provided a bunch of new colorways in 2002r and the Mirage grey might just be the best of them all. Also known as the 'Refined Future' pack, these sneakers feature a distressed look with uneven suede and leather panels. I talk about New Balance 2002r Sizing and tell you whether or not these shoes are worth the price

    I think the “dad shoe” trend helped NB to have more presence in the sneaker world, also the saturated Jordans, Yeezys and other models were crucial for the NB popularity, people just want to have unique and different models than the rest

    • @Unxpekted
      @Unxpekted 2 роки тому +1

      You missed the biggest thing the quality. NB quality is far better than Jordan-Jeezy. There still not Prada or luxury sneaker quality but better than Jordan Yeezy.

    when I got my first new balance pair I was surprised how good the quality is compared to GR nikes so its gotta be the quality, plus the versatility of a sneaker like a 550 which is new balance's Air Force 1 in my opinion that goes literally with everything, the colours they choose, and the comfort of a shoe like a 2002r.. Definitely worth the hype. And resale prices are not that high for a lot of their sneakers so you have a wide range to choose from.

    Hi JD, watched this specific review at least 5 times already but I always forget to leave my question in the comments. Our of curiosity, is your pair made in Vietnam or China? Apparently there are variances between quality and details between the groups of pairs made in each factory

  • @johnguinto4386

    Outside of their collabs, you really do get what you pay for with New Balance. Think about the fact that these and the OG "Protection Pack" were GR's just shows the quality behind the NB brand. People go crazy for dunks but for the same price, you can get 574's or 327's that are higher quality and hands down comfier than most Nike shoes or Adidas for that matter. "Long time listener, first time caller" with NB's. Unfortunately fell into train of, "NB's are 'Dad Shoes'" initially but I'm glad I saw the light. 574's were my gateway into NB's and haven't looked back since.

      Dunks cost next to nothing to produce and it's hilarious when people think they're quality. All synthetic garbage and not put together well at all.

      @@Unxpekted case in point the Panda Dunks that everyone is going crazy for. Retail for those are already borderline with how crap their quality is. Then you have people paying 3-4 times that of retail on the secondary market which is just ridiculous 🤦

    New balance just hits the spot, when it comes to the current trends. Beige cream and forest greens and all sorts of neutral tones are just very in right now. And with Jordan 1 and dunks being oversaturated people are looking for alternatives. I personally haven’t picked up any yet but Im definitely will, some time ^^. NB drops are just awful - with their waiting line etc. Im just exited to see what the futures brings or if the current wave just completely vanishes as quickly as it arrived. We‘ll see but Im happy their is another one on the map besides the swoosh and the tree stripes

      I went .5 size up and it ended up being too big. Reason is they these shoes are made in 2 different factories: one in China and the other in Vietnam. The ones that are made in China fit tts while the made in Vietnam is more snug.
