The NB 2002R silhouette continues to be a source of inspiration. After being reinterpreted by big names like Salehe Bembury, BAPE or THISISNEVERTHAT, it appears redesigned by London Social Club THE BASEMENT.
Known for its timeless style, its attention to detail and its premium range Made in England, the Boston brand New Balance is very appreciated in the United Kingdom. By inviting THE BASEMENT to bring their touch to the popular 2002R silhouette, New Balance will especially delight British sneakerheads.
The London-based social group has concocted 2 special colorways of its very own version of the NB2002R, one Grey/Black and the other Khaki Green/Black.
The 2 pairs feature tone-on-tone color blocking, with a grey or green suede and pigskin upper, and a black suede lower paired with the color-coordinated sole. The iconic side N logo appears simplified and in white, and an oval BSMNT branding adorns the tongue. To affirm the collab, the insole is co-branded, the heel features a special THE BASEMENT inscription and on the toe box, the traditional NB branding is modified so that only the B of BASEMENT appears.
The Basement x New Balance 2002R in 2 colorways will be released soon at selected retailers and on newbalance.com, at a price around 150$ per iteration. More info to come, stay tuned !
