New Balance has released a new colorway of its 2002 sneaker called Rich Oak. The model features cocoa browns mixed with tan and cream tones along with leather, mesh and suede textures. It is now available for purchase at select stores and online.
The 2002 model first appeared in 2022 through a Protection Pack release that sold out quickly. New Balance later restocked the style, which has remained popular with its rugged updates and color options.
The Rich Oak version draws on fall-inspired shades and landed recently at overseas retailers. Shoppers in the United States can now buy it through Dick's Sporting Goods for 145 dollars.
Other brands have also introduced seasonal sneakers this summer, but the New Balance offering stands out for its textured materials and dad shoe silhouette.
