In a mule iteration of the New Balance 2002R, The New Balance 2002R Mule Bryant Giles What Now? features a cream canvas upper with faded multi color illustrations, frayed overlays, and removable velcro New Balance side patches. "What Now?" embroidery on the heel pays tribute to Giles' 2019 film What Now? that debuted in December of 2021 at Art Basel in Miami. From there, custom insoles displaying Giles' paintings and a semi-translucent outsole complete the design.

The New Balance 2002R Mule Bryant Giles What Now? released in July of 2022 and retailed for $140.
