- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Following the success of last year's "Protection Pack / Refined Future Pack", New Balance has released a bunch of new colourways this year. Today I'm reviewing the recently released "Light Arctic Grey / Purple" colourway, which covers the shoe in various shades of purple and grey suede and mesh. Check out my review and drop a comment if you are feeling these!

The only sneaker reviewer to bring you a video “almost every single day”
🤣🤣🤣
Shots fired
Shade TV?
@@rawsanity27 nah Foamer Simpson caught this one. 😆 I rock wit him tho, b roll and commentery is dope.
foamer needs to stop saying that. It’s more like once a week if we’re lucky
I took your advice and got the mirage grey color from the last pack, they look insane in person. Bro you’re the best thank you 🙏🏽
I have these and the lilacs, I'd definitely describe these as blue, a few shades of blue including navy, if anything I'd say the lilac chalk have more purple in them, good review though !
Possibly my favourite sneakers I’ve picked up all year
just got these in hand from the NB shock drop, my pair didn't have any mismatching mesh directions luckily. the color blocking on these is excellent, hopefully they don't just become a constant reminder that i don't have the rain cloud colorway 😂
Can't wait till my lunar new year 2002rd comes. I find your review the best for this shoes model.
Solid review as usual my man! I bought these a few weeks back on GOAT but sadly had to return due to misaligned, different colored panels 😔 Fortunately I was able to grab the Auralee 2002R's with my credit.
I remember when this pair dropped at extrabutter but I didn’t cop because I noticed the og grey colorway’s resale value dropped at stockx.
Hi Sean! Firstly, sorry to hear the QC issue but also thx for alerting us. I managed to grab a pair instore at SNS here in Stockholm. I tried to spot any bad mesh pattern,weird panel placements etc. on each shoe and luckily didn’t find any issues with my pair. My guess is that the inconsistencies may somewhat derive from the manufacturerer, in this case; China. All the best and keep providing us with quality content.
They look blue to me. I got them and I don't see why they're called purple 🤔. You're right about the quality and inconsistencies but the style and color way still made it a cop for me. I also picked up the Lilac pair.which I prefer slightly over the "purple" pair . Thanks for the review Sean. 👍🏻
I got these and the pink they are sick i like them better then the rain cloud new balance always do grey
As a Phillies fan I gotta say, FIRE 🔥 HAT
I need these in my life. Hopefully, these will be easy to cop like the last Protection Pack release.
Had to cop these ones 🔥
Shame about the quality control issues since these look the bomb. Just have to be careful buying I guess.
Honestly Im just getting in to NB. I have liked the 2002r from the jump but I cant decide if I prefer the standard pair of 2002rs over these Protection Pack styled variants. The materials do seem more buttery on the standard pairs.
I’m a little late to your comment, but if you still haven’t pulled the trigger on any refined future pairs they are most definitely worth it. They look amazing in hand.
I hate that you had quality issues with the shoes, but the colorway is fantastic! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
good review. i had the orange ones in hand : quality seems also inferior compared to previous protection pack colors
I missed the launch of these, and I was very into it initially. But after watching this vid I immediately go to the upthere store (I'm in Sydney) to check but they were sold out. Luckily at another store I coped a pair of size 8.5 although I usually wear 9. Fingers crossed, hopefully 8.5 is not to snug for me.
it will snug. i recommend to go half size up on this pair :) That would be smart move
@@kennethpascua2329 I wore 8.5 and walked all day, pretty good. Didn't feel any uncomfortable
Yoyoo what's good Sean!
solid review as usual, i just checked my pair and the mesh on my pair seems consistent.
I do agree on the quality side, been vocal about that the japan cw had much nicer suedes imo.
The light blue/purple suede feels poor, de dark panels next to the N logo tho feel fine imo but the other suedes are less.
Eiterway keep em coming!
🙏🙏🙏
Love these. But I got the Raincloud cw, thankfully for retail so I’ll pass and let someone else who wants these to get em. Still a dope colorway at the end of the day and close to the OG’s
nice cw, but the rain cloud is still the best 😆
Sorry that the mesh is off, but I totally get it and it would bother me too - probably every time I put them on.
Is it just me or are these not purple at all? Gangsta vid boss
Great video Sean! Got a question did you get charged import fees? I'm in the UK and might consider getting stuff from Up There Store so just being cautious😅
You will pay import fees and quite hefty ones also if u in the uk. If u are after these i managed to pick up numerous pairs of these on end, they keep restocking now and then
I paid $32 cad importing from Australia to Canada
@@GhostJJJ I think up there have inclusive the fees on the shipping for internationally shipped orders . I remember that from the up there pair
I think dark navy color way is similar but better
Love you bro. You are best sneaker blogger.
Can you do a simple review on the 991 Made in England 'Green Grey'? Thank you!
Sean you’re the 🐐
Didn`t think both of these new CWs did much for the silhouette. Although a GR, the Refined Future became something of a special item in recent NB catalog and the more they release random CWs, the less interesting it becomes.
Both colourways are fire imo, the lilac chalk & the artic greys are so fire I doubled up on each pair and will triple up if I could. But I’m biased I love the 2002r and the protection pack
These are the best color ways lol
Hi Sean, nice video as always. I just want to ask, does this 2002rd comes with pig skin suede or just a normal cow suede? Thank you😀
That’s a good question, I’ve never seen NB clarify this
I bought my first 2002r light arctic grey purple and it has made in china tag and I usually see made in vietnam tags to my new balance, is the one I bought replica or not
wow. light grey cw is 🔥
I got my lilacs and arctic greys from up there store aswell. Fucking fire 🔥
I have the reg 2002 r green and lime green and the construction is inconsistant on that 2 i think its a 2002 r thing 😅😅
My ‘Japan’ pair have exactly the same issue with the misaligned mesh on one shoe and I’m always staring at it 😡😂
So annoying
Is it release already?
Amazing
Bro did you pay customs too for it when the pair arrived in Canada?
Yeah about $33
Am I trippin or are these blue and everybody saying there purple cause these don’t look purple
Does anybody know when these and the lilac pair drop in the US? I need these BADLY
Dropping on finish line tomorrow!!
@@greenhousevtg Yoo fr? I’m super amped
@@greenhousevtg how do you know? And what time?
@@sammysosa9665 check their website/ on the releases tab!! Should be around 9am est
@@greenhousevtg yooo ily bro haha I’ve been waiting for these for months super excited thanks man
Can run long distance in the 2002R?
I wouldn’t
How...."purple"....are they🤷🏿♂️? Initial pics looked likeore a vibrant purple but these look pretty muted....almost an indigo.
It’s in between blue and purple if that makes sense
dopeness.
These and the Sulfer sachs are the only Nikes/NB worth buying
Everything else is complete ass
Hey, bro! I sent you an IG message about possibly interviewing for my channel? Would love to chat about sneakers!
