Just ordered a pair myself. These reminded me of the Desert Moss Union 4 with the teal & purple. Look forward to rocking these right away & great video as always!🙏🏾
Normal service has resumed, back to NB and Hefe Luxx. I got two pairs of these. I know I’m gonna want another pair once one gets too beat up. 2002R have been a revelation… so comfortable and the quality is top notch even though it’s not a Made in USA or England model.
Your sizing is so accurate. I got my pair in today and went tts and it was much more roomy than I anticipated. Luckily it also restocked again today so I picked up another pair at a half size down. Keep up the good work!
Jeezus, New Balance Canada should be sponsoring you more often for preaching the good news of New Balance sneakers 🙏 your appealing vids influenced many of us to jump over the NB Bandwagon and man i dont regret at all
My pair just came in and these are 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for the half size down recommendation, it was perfect! Glad to have copped the last pair available in my size off the Canada NB site.
Seems like you are also showing us the different lacing images in your presentation now - if that is your new format, it’s a very welcome addition 🙏 Another fire 2002r - meanwhile I am looking for a 992 haha.
I was able to snag a couple of pairs of these pretty easily thankfully. 2002R has become one of my favorite silhouettes over time, it started once I got my hands on those Salehe Water Be the Guides, now I'm 5 different colorways deep (Marblehead, 'Refined Future' Rain Cloud, Thisisneverthat Brown, and these) and still can't get enough. I'm excited for what's to come from NB this year, whether it be the 990s or the newer silhouettes they've been pushing like the 57/40 and 2002R.
@@zacharymutter8432 yeah I saw them, a little too basic for my taste but they certainly are a clean pair. NB coming out strong with the 2002Rs for 2022.
New Balance has been killing it for a minute! Got some GR 993s, had to follow through with the 2002R Protection Pack greys and the 574 Yurts... Got a chance to cop for retail on these and I CANT WAIT 🔥 Thanks for the review, Sean!
Dope review man. I have a feeling that all of the NB fans are in trouble this year. lol. I think NB will keep dropping dope “GR” color ways of different models that are hard to resist. The 2002r is becoming one of my favorite NBs to wear. You can’t deny the look and feel on feet. There’s just something about them. Later.
Got my replacement today for TTS size, and they're perfect. Nice and comfortable. Previously I never gave 2002R silhouette a second glance as they look chunky, but the light colours and where they placed the colours on these offset that chunky look imo. Very happy with them. Thanks for the video! Helped convince me to give them a go.
Nailed it with the half-size down. Thanks for the heads-up Sean 👍 The purple laces really take these to the next level; real Union J4 Desert Moss vibe for sure. These are better because of the comfort and price.
these were really hard to find where I am, didn't get a wide release. paid a little over retail and copped 2 days ago. Great timing on the review as always. saw some shots on the Internet and had to cop.
I think we have the same size foot, 10 on most shoes, i have the 2002r protection pack mirage grey in a 10 which is my TTS but i feel that pair fits more snug than the others. I also just ordered this Incense pair based on this review in a 10 but just wanted to know how much roomier this model is compared to the protection pack. Is it that much roomy that the foot slides and just provides better breathing space for your foot?
do you like these more than the "Night Tide" ones? I'm still waiting for the grey & pink ones that look similar to that united arrows x kith collab from back in the day
@@6ix835 stockx, sunika sneakers and various articles online say its a jcrew collab. Additionally i called jcrew and the rep said it was a jcrew collab/colorway. Idk if all those sources are wrong. Just because a shoe released elsewhere as well doesnt mean it cant be a collab. Just going by based off these sources.
@@paulishpaul...interesting. zero reference to a collab (jcrew) on NB geo www sites where this model is posted for sale. in contrast NB clearly states & posts its collab pairs for levis, jjj, stone island, stray rats, slam jam, salehe, concepts, etc - so why not this one model M2002RWA? perhaps NB marketing made a mistake or jcrew got incorrect info from NB corporate
I own pair of the exact shoes. My first time owning a pair of 2002R. But I was surprised by the toe space and I'm a size 10 men's. Would u recommend going down size 9.5?
Not a fan of this colorway, passed despite the wide availability I passed. Trying to be EXTREMELY selective this year considering we are coming toward a crash correction course for the economy soon.
I have the same sentiment. I like how the colorway is unique but not enough for me to purchase. I always ask myself, "Will I actually wear these or are they just going to sit on display?"
@@realqwanthadon5220 go TTS, half size down was still ok but TTS was more comfy. You won't get any heel slippage either cause the inner heel is well padded
I've found that going TTS works best for me because I prefer a little room in my shoes, but you can get away with sizing 1/2 down if you don't have the option. I'm a wide footer and have multiple pairs of 2002Rs in sz12 (my true size) and 11.5.

I like how NB just drops them without warning sometimes. You really have to check in almost everyday

Yeah I prefer these more
Order these couple days ago so excited
I got em and the purple laces are a must in these✌️
Just ordered mine!

Dope!!!
Yes idk why everyone saying they are a GR.

Ordering the Nite Tide colorways right now

I’m personally okay with the 10, I can live with the extra space, but 9.5 would probably fit more close to my feet if that’s what you prefer
I need 2 get a Canadian proxy man. New Balance in The Netherlands (Europe) is def. not getting all these amazing shoes. Great pickup!
Thanks!
These remind me of that Joe Fresh Gods colab with the tan earth tones

Hi Sean, how do the quality of this pair compare to the Joe fresh collabs? And can these be worn in rain?
Still haven’t gotten the JFG in hand lol
@@SeanGo how did you cop they sold out in seconds
@@mrmathboireborn5805 hit a raffle from social status and grabbed the other from Shoe Palace
@@SeanGo oh social status ships to Canada? Same for shoe palace?
@@mrmathboireborn5805 nope US only
Wassup Sean. Does TTS fit like wearing TTS in 990v3 or it isn’t that roomy. I swear I’m like a 8.75
Usually 2002r fits more snug than a 990 V3, but this specific colourway fits me looser than other 2002r. So I could go with my 990 V3 in these.
@@SeanGo much Appreciated King! 🐐
indeed the toe box shape is on a boxy side. maybe that's why the fit is roomier? colorway is 🔥 though..
Just kopt the last sz12 on NB site, WOO!!
Nice!
I just ordered the Nightwatch green 2002rs in a size US 10.5. Hope they fit I normally wear size US 11 and my feet aren't too wide...
Did they fit
@@realqwanthadon5220 waiting on them, how do you find the 2002rs fit?
I’m trying to find out lol
@@realqwanthadon5220 go TTS, half size down was still ok but TTS was more comfy. You won't get any heel slippage either cause the inner heel is well padded
I usually wear a 10.5 NB 574 but a size 10 in Nike Air max 90s.
Hey Sean Should I stay true to size or 1/2 size down?
Great video Yo!
10 should be good!
Hopefully they pop up in Canada somewhere.
I really like those...I need to try on a pair, to confirm my size! 💯🔥

@@azamnyear7461 Thanks, I'll keep that in mind, Azam!
This model is pretty consistent at TTS, lots of dope colorways dropping in ‘22
Crazy these are going under retail
I like the 2002R, but this colorway ain’t it. Seems like I’d only be able to wear it for Easter. Sean, have you seen the Dark Grey 2002R? Thoughts?
Which one??
@@SeanGo the style number is ML2002RB
I do not know why New Balance wasn't produced in size US 12.5 or UK 12 for 2002R/990V3/550 etc....
I would like to have these nice NB in Brazil
Where are you all ordering these? I don’t see them on the NB site.
Got them from Freshrags in FL
I went half size down and they're too tight. Gonna have to exchange for my normal size
Where are these for sale at?
Can you compare the comfort of 2002r and 990/992?
992 is the firmest, then 990 then 2002R in my opinion
@@SeanGo thank you Sean
Dope
are those collab with j crew?
Nope, a GR
Do we supposed to get a size up or down
Tts or go half a size smaller
Do they come with purple laces? They will look killer with purple laces.
Yeah I showed what it looks like in the video lol
@@SeanGo just noticed my bad
If they made the tounge of the shoe beige it would be fire
☺️
nice colorway but toebox shape is terrible; u're right bro! will wait for the 4 monotonal GR colorways instead.
I saw these at JD Sports the other day. I am not sure if I want to hurt for that.= (
Gotta go purple laces.
anyone knows if this design specifically is made from pig skin at all? Can't seem to find this info anywhere online
Mmmm...these looks like the j4 Union desert moss.
Can I go half size down on this?
Watch the video, I talk about sizing
these are nice. mr. new balance man 🤣 😅
Lmfao, 🤝💪
Is it pig skin?
Poor man’s JFG outside clothes
Good shoe for the price .
