The New Balance 2002R is a heritage runner brought back from the 2010 MR2002, here scaled down for toddlers. It keeps the adult design: a suede and mesh upper, ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning, and the layered rubber tread of the original. Bungee laces pull on without tying, which suits small feet and quick exits. Against simpler toddler sneakers it offers real running-shoe cushioning and a premium suede build, at the cost of more upkeep and a higher price than basic canvas shoes.
