[@heskicks]

Hope you guys have a good day! These New Balance 1906R protection pack restocked today here for those looking: bit.ly/3Z5Ls4A

[@blackgoblin1004]

Just got my first 1906 just now. Looking forward to trying them out. Got the turtledove and black colorway

[@MrVizziato23]

New Balance has never called these the "Protection Pack" that's a name that someone made up. They're called the 2002R Deconstruct

Shout out to the NB creative team, they still haven't missed

Thank you for this video. It’s exactly what I needed. I bought the 2002R Lunar and love them. Was excited today to see them release the 1906R. Happy to hear the positive feedback

[@whatzittooya9323]

Looking to buy these or a different pair of 2002r. Only problem is that photos of the lunars are inconsistent. Would you say that they are a cream/off white color all around? Or are they predominantly grey

[@LE_NOMAD90]

The 2002R LNY are so amazing for the quality. I hope New Balance officially puts the real name of these as the Refined Future pack.

[@haydenkarnes4598]

1906 is a way more comfortable model in my opinion, picked up a pair last month and been wearing them non stop. Tried on the 2002r a few times and just didn’t feel right (even though its the same sole) compared to 990s.. but i love these LOL

[@TheDonkyGamePlay]

would you say the 1906 has more room or are they literally the same fit/length?

[@manuchivillar6578]

​@@TheDonkyGamePlaytry them un footlocker

[@chesterlim9110]

1906 midsole uses Acteva Lite, while the 2002 uses Abzorb for its midsole. Therefore, their midsoles are not the same. Some say Acteva Lite is firmer than Abzorb. Many reviewers have been incorrect about the midsole material because New Balance website has been confusing.

[@sammallory]

Great that people other than DC locals are showing love for NB all of these decades later.

[@joachimcleminson901]

I love the 1906, the rubber at the back looks better, the yellow patch ruined the 2002 for me

[@DNice1981]

The name of the pack is "Refined Future" whether it's the 2002r or the 1906 , the name "Protection Pack", was given to the shoe by a sneaker boutique,not the designer

[@MrVizziato23]

Exactly 💯

Damn I paid a little over retail on eBay because they weren’t in stock the other day on the new balance website. Still a clean shoe regardless so I don’t really care that much

[@eleven8338]

I don't understand why anyone would buy such ugly dorky shoes especially considering that they're not cheap..

[@TheBaconBasket1]

Why do they look dorky to you? I think it's the blend of natural looking materials like suede on a retro runner that attracts people. Compared to when they almost exclusively used synthetics like plastics and mesh.

[@mihaikonta9828]

@@TheBaconBasket1 the materials are nice but the silouhettes are very boring, they are just like most shoes you can find in malls for around 100bucks.. So i do not understand the hype at all

The “general release” version of the 1906 is 1906R - for running like you said. But for the Refined Future Pack version of the 1906 (featured in this video), it is 1906D for distressed. Gotta love the D! PAWS!

[@MrVizziato23]

I'm pretty sure the D stands Deconstruct

[@IamZukes]

New Balance are pure aesthetic! They just look and feel quality especially when I compare to my Nike, Adidas and Yeezys. Loving the videos

[@AngeloGiles]

I actually like the look of the 1906 more than the protection pack, the colors flow better imo, I'll still probably get both though lol, great video.

[@mikeysyke]

The D is for distressed The 2002 protection packs are actually 2002RD, the 1906 protection packs are 1906D

[@weej4002]

Aren’t they called refined future pack and not protection pack?

[@blackgoblin1004]

2002r, but I still really like the 1906 as well. So buy both!

[@FunTimeWithScarlett]

That 1906 is not protection pack... I have both. Same colorways, love em both tbh. Still want the black colorway of the 1906 though. They restocked several times, but not for my size. =(

[@CheckMyReviews]

Comfort wise in what order would you say these are cushion wise. I love the Vomero 5s and they feel awesome. Which ones are better for NB tho 1906d or 2002rs?

Hi, thanks for the great video! Can I check if the 2002R runs true to size? I have a slightly wider feet and I can only find a size up and not a half size up. Will a size up be too big? Hope you be able to advise! Thanks!

The toe box comparison helped me decided to grab the 1906! I loved the rain clouds but I ended up selling because the toe box was too wide and cumbersome. I love that the 1906 toe box looks more narrow!

Having been into New Balance for about a year now have a bunch of pairs. Tried 2002r's on today for the first time and I have to say the comfort and fit is up there with the best that NB has to offer. In fact for me personally I think the 2002r is the comfiest fitting shoe from New Balance.
