I have a lot of pairs of the 1.0, including 2 core black pairs and I think the new 2.0 pair looks great and looks much better in person. It doesn't come across as well in these side by side photos but on its own its on point. I already got complements on them from a few people after wearing them for the 1st time. I also think they're more comfortable than the. 1.0, with noticible improvement on the primekit upper. The over all fit is much better too. That said I figured that there would be a day where I would miss the 1.0s so I loaded up on as many pairs as I could get my hands on. It's still one of my favorite shoes ever.
