Since its introduction in 2021, the New Balance ‘Protection Pack’ series has been one of the most sought-after releases for the brand. Originally named ‘Refined Future’, the concept is centred around designer Yue Wu’s observation that despite years of wear and tear, New Balance silhouettes always hold their original form. Since its launch, the ideals of the ‘Protection Pack’ stem from a deconstruction of famed silhouettes by adding raw-edged, distressed textures and considered detailing.
To celebrate 25 years of size?, we’re launching a 3-pair collection of the Refined Future 2002 ‘Protection Pack’. This first edition is set to a muted palette of earthy tones, drawing inspiration from core minerals and natural metals. Breathable mesh is layered with a mix of premium suedes, adding dimension and texture to the design, while touches of leather on the heel tab and exposed foam tongue conjure a luxurious finish. Cloud-like cushioning and all-day arch support come from the ABZORB midsole and N-ergy outsole that anchor the silhouette.
The draw for the New Balance Refined Future 2002 ‘Protection Pack’ – size? exclusive is open 07.03.2025 until 12.03.2025 – this one is not to be missed, good luck!
