The V2 changed one visible thing about the silhouette: a tab at the heel now joins the two EVA inserts in the midsole, so what were separate blocks at the forefoot and rear become a single piece wrapping the back of the shoe. On a high-contrast colourway like this that connection is easy to spot, because the dark hardware is set against pale foam.
Core Black covers the knit upper, including the welded Three Stripes, and repeats at the bottom of the shoe, while Cloud White is reserved for the Boost midsole in between. Stacked that way the profile divides into three clear horizontal bands, and the linked insert crosses the middle one. It released November 2, 2022 at $150. Beyond the heel tab the build is the familiar one: a one-piece knit upper, a sock-like collar, a branded pull tab and the segmented rubber pattern on the outsole.
