2002R Big Kid 'Pink Sand'

The New Balance 2002R Pink Sand (GS) delivers the signature 2002R design in a grade school-exclusive size, dressed in a soft blend of Pink Sand and Quartz Pink tones. The subtle mix of blush and off-white shades gives this performance-inspired silhouette a clean yet expressive look suited for everyday wear.

Staying true to the 2002R’s technical roots, this edition features a layered upper constructed from breathable mesh, premium suede, and smooth leather overlays. Cutout paneling and overlapping details add depth and structure, while a grey “N” logo stands out along the side. Matching grey accents extend to the outsole and metallic heel detailing, tying the design together. Visible heel gel pods enhance the futuristic aesthetic while helping provide responsive cushioning and forward momentum with each step.

A standout detail is the etched linework along the midsole, subtly creating a sense of motion without overpowering the overall design. The New Balance 2002R Pink Sand (GS) released on June 27, 2023, with a retail price of $100.
