The New Balance 2002R "Protection Pack" released on July 1, 2021, with a retail price of €150. The pack came in three colorways. Online drops opened at midnight on the release day. The 2002R is based on the New Balance 2002 from 2010 and was brought back with a modern update. The "Protection Pack" was known for its raw, layered look on the upper. No style codes or official colorways were listed in the release information. Second chance options were collected on the release page after the first drops. More colorways of the pack followed in later years. Today, pairs from the 2021 release are available on marketplaces such as KLEKT.
