New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Sky Blue is the palest piece in the series and the best suited to summer. The top layer is a faded sky blue with navy showing beneath at the cuts, so the shoe looks as though it spent years in the sun and gradually lost its colour.

New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Sky against the light blue
The two shades look close in photographs but the difference is obvious on the foot. Sky is paler and more faded so it approaches a blue-grey, while light blue is purer and clearer as a colour. Anyone wanting the least possible colour presence alongside the idea of the series picks sky.
The material up close
During inspection we noticed the nap here is longer than on other pieces in the series, which increases the sense of wear without any extra cuts. The cut edges are also treated so the suede does not fray around them, a point we check on every pair from this series in particular.
Fit and comfort
The last is comfortable for medium and wide feet like the rest of the model. To settle sizing before ordering, our WhatsApp concierge takes your foot length in centimetres and sends real photographs of the cuts if you want them.
Looks that suit sky blue
It works with white, light denim, grey and summer clothing. For a lighter base there is New Balance 530, for a wavy sole New Balance 9060, and the rest sit in the New Balance 2002R collection.
FAQ
Does New Balance 2002R Protection Pack Sky look faded

Do the cuts widen with wear
Not in normal use, as the cut edges are treated to hold their position.
How does it differ from the light blue
Sky is paler and closer to a blue-grey, while light blue is purer and clearer as a colour.
Is the fit true to size
Usually yes, and the last is comfortable for medium and wide feet.
