The piece

  • The New Balance 2002R scaled to a grade-school size run, in black.
  • The same mesh-and-suede build and the same layered overlays as the adult pair, on a lighter construction sized for kids who want the shoe their older siblings are wearing.

New Balance

New Balance began in Boston in 1906 making arch supports; running shoes came later. It is great at stability trainers and the dad-shoe revival that made the 990 a fashion object. The 1982 990 was a shocking $100 running shoe; the 550 and 2002R followed into street style. Fun fact: much of the 990 series is still associated with U.S. factory production, which is rare for a global sneaker brand.
