New Balance 2002R - Dark Moss

The mesh upper feels surprisingly breathable yet sturdy, and the TPU eyelets on the collar add a nice rugged touch. They’ve been comfortable straight out of the box for daily walks.

The padded collar makes these feel plush right out of the box, and the leather overlay gives them a sturdy yet classic look. I've been wearing them for daily walks and they hold up perfectly with no break-in period.

The mesh upper is surprisingly breathable for a darker shoe, which keeps my feet cool on warmer days. The leather overlay adds just enough structure without feeling stiff at all. Already looking forward to wearing these on my next hike.
