First introduced in 2021 under the name 'Refined Future', New Balance's 'Protection Pack' series was born from designer Yue Wu's observation that New Balance silhouettes retain their original form regardless of age or wear. The concept translates this resilience into a design language built around deconstruction — raw-edged finishes, distressed textures, and considered detailing applied to some of the brand's most beloved silhouettes. To mark 25 years of size?, the series returns in the form of a size?-exclusive 2002R 'Protection Pack'. The colourway is anchored in an earthy, muted palette drawn from core minerals and natural metals. Breathable mesh forms the base of the upper, layered with a mix of premium suedes to build depth and texture across the silhouette, while leather detailing on the heel tab and an exposed foam tongue introduce a more refined, tactile finish. Underfoot, an ABZORB midsole delivers cloud-like cushioning, and an N-ergy outsole provides the structural foundation for all-day arch support — rounding out a release that balances raw aesthetic with premium construction.

To mark its 25th anniversary, size? is launching the adidas Originals 'Anniversary City Series', opening with a Shanghai-inspired silhouette. A spiritual successor to the 2020 Twin Cities edition — which paired London and Shanghai through a shared neon-skyline narrative — this 2025 iteration zooms in on the energy and electric atmosphere of Shanghai itself. The shoe is built around a 'Purple Burst' suede upper, accented by orange serrated leather 3-Stripes, a 'Semi Blue Burst' heel flash, and gold foil 'Shanghai' branding that nods to the original release. Premium leather lining and a special anniversary footbed elevate the overall feel, while a rubber outsole grounds the design. Each pair ships with two sets of laces and a collector's book. Limited to just 2,025 pairs worldwide, a gold foil '1/2025' heel stamp confirms its place in the series.
