Nike's Offline 2.0 "Black" Combines Comfort With Technical Details

The Nike Offline came to market at the right time, joining the likes of Birkenstock, Crocs and Suicoke in the sandal movement that took the footwear industry by storm last year. Now, the Swoosh brand has released the Offline 2.0, and it has dropped in a fool-proof colorway of black.

Previous Offline mules that have dropped in black — such as this “Off Noir” version and the “Anthracite/Electro Orange” offering — have sold out at multiple stockists worldwide, and we suspect this updated iteration will be no different.

First and foremost, the design has been given a more technical update. We see a mesh foot covering now adorned with a less padded, but more tactile-looking aesthetic that’s overlayed with a crisscrossed design of 3M-speckled rope laces. Working down, Nike adds a midfoot panel that’s embroidered with a small Swoosh logo on the lateral side but not on the medial.

At the toe, Nike adds a grooved and Swoosh-adorned bumper, while the heel now features a cork midsole component that contrasts the technical look with something more traditional. A padded insole and a heavily treaded outsole round out the Offline 2.0.

Take a look at the Nike Offline 2.0 in black above, and pick up a pair now from retailers such as 43einhalb for €129.95 EUR (approx. $158 USD).
