Embrace raw design with the New Balance 2002R “Protection Pack Grey Rain Cloud,” released on August 13, 2021.
This iconic colorway introduced the Protection Pack’s signature aesthetic, pairing a grey Rain Cloud mesh base with rough-cut suede overlays for a deliberately deconstructed, unfinished look. Jagged panel edges, tonal branding, and layered greys give the shoe its instantly recognizable, worn-in character that set the tone for the entire pack.

Underfoot, a performance-driven setup combines ABZORB cushioning, N-ergy shock absorption, and a supportive Stability Web shank for all-day comfort and stability, finished with a durable rubber outsole for dependable traction. Experimental yet wearable, the Grey Rain Cloud remains a cornerstone of modern New Balance design.
