The forward-thinking style of the 2002R is rooted in performance running. Inspired by the MR2002, a high-end running model originally released in 2010, the 2002R offers a ready-to-wear take on sleek, technical design. A new GORE-TEX variant, the 2002RX, adds rugged, water resistant functionality to the shoe's classic mesh upper construction, while the diamond patterned ABZORB midsole and segmented ABZORB SBS pods at the heel provide an ultra-soft, cushioned feeling and a visually distinctive look.
