New Balance Brings The J.Crew Exclusive 2002R “Incense” To The Masses_Sole Says It All

Though not quite the powerhouse they once were, J.Crew’s influence on menswear is not at all lost, as the humble Killshot 2 remains beloved amongst MFA and the crowds adjacent. Unfortunately, the retailer’s exclusive New Balance 2002R colorways didn’t see the same applause upon release, though that may soon change as many of these are finally rolling out to additional retailers.

Among the pack, the “Incense” is arguably one of the best in show, flaunting a smooth tan shade across its suede and mesh upper. Darker, deeper browns accent over top the collar and forefoot, while a slate grey dresses the lace unit, lining, and heel tab. Then, a series of bright, pastel colors come into play, brightening up the otherwise neutral kit with light blues and an equally vibrant violet.

Enjoy a closer look at this 2002R right here. The “Incense” has been on the shelves for a little while, so stock is quite limited on NewBalance.com. Some retailers, though, have additional sizes, so be sure to check out the Store List below.
