The New Balance 2002R Red Wine 27cm employs the Ndurance rubber that is extremely durable even when used on hard pavements. This compound also has a textured pattern that delivers traction on most outdoor surfaces. There are grooves that make this shoe flexible. The rubber is non-marking, so it does not leave scuff marks on floors. Its rear portion has a slight bevel which provides a smooth transition to the flat part of the outsole.
The outsole features an off-centered band of rubber known as the Walking Strike Path technology. It guides the foot throughout the walking gait cycle, ensuring that it rolls smoothly from the heel to the toes. The flex grooves in the forefoot effectively support natural flexions.
Shock-absorbent midsole
The midsole of the New Balance 2002R Red Wine 27cm is made from CMEVA. It is a type of foam that does not readily get compressed but is soft enough to cushion the impact of each step.
The ABZORB cushioning technology lines the midfoot area, extending to the front of the midsole. It's an additional layer of shock-absorbing material that prevents discomfort or injuries in the lower extremities.
The Rollbar posting system in the heel section makes this model a motion control walking shoe. This technology consists of a molded TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) plate that connects the medial and lateral postings. This setup reduces rearfoot movement. The firm material also prevents overpronation and supination.
The rocker-shaped midsole reduces plantar flexion. It helps in the heel-to-toe-off motion, removing the stress from the ball of the foot and the toes.
Inside the shoe is the removable polyurethane (PU) sockliner. It has anti-microbial properties that provide a healthy foot environment and has a plush fieg that adds comfort.

The New Balance 2002R Red Wine 27cm utilizes a mesh fabric for the upper. This material allows air to flow into the foot chamber to keep it fresh. It is also soft.
Synthetic overlays line various sections of the upper. They protect the toe box from impact and abrasion. They also provide lateral support to the midfoot area. At the back, they serve as an external heel counter, and they revent the foot from wobbling.
The New Balance 2002R Red Wine 27cm not only comes in a range of different width profiles but also in a selection of various upper materials. While the original shoe features a mesh-and-synthetic upper, other variations of the trainer include leather and suede.
In its turn, the leather model is offered in two closure options: one with a traditional lacing system and the other one with twin hook-and-loop straps.
Added comfort
Inside the shoe is the Phantom Liner. This sock-like material provides a seamless interior. It also reduces irritation or blister formation.

The trainer uses a traditional lace-up closure that keeps the foot securely in place. The padded tongue prevents the round laces from cutting into the instep. It also has a plush collar that locks the foot down to avoid accidental shoe removal.
