In collaboration with Joe Freshgoods, the New Balance 2002R Joe Freshgoods Conversations Amongst Us draws inspiration from crucial dialogues that connect the Black community. It arrives with a neutral-toned upper constructed with nylon, leather, and premium suede. Hits of orange and yellow add a subtle contrast. On the insole, graphics of two figures conversing nod to the collection's theme of communication. From there, a cream and orange NERGY sole provides cushioning and support.
