Korean label thisisneverthat partners with New Balance for the third time, creating a neutral version of the recently revived 2002. It’s muted, in the New England brand’s usual style, with olive green covering most of the mixed-material uppers, but there’s a pop of blue at each heel for some much needed contrast. The model’s technical underpinnings remain in place, too; N-ERGY® and ABZORB® combine underfoot for running-derived comfort that’s perfect for a day in the city.
