After having Turtle Doves, Belugas and V2 Reds, I can say I much prefer the V2. I only liked the Turtle doves because that was the only colorway where the pattern popped. The rest of them had a muted pattern and made them look very low key (not that there is anything wrong with that). I like the V2 because the stripe, although i hated it at first, gives the silhouette a much need pop. Also, the sole was really well thought out. The translucency of the rubber gives it another slight shift in color, kinda like a icey sole effect. And the thinner rubber allows the boost to expand much more which greatly improves the comfort. The primeknit also gives much more support than the V1, those felt floppy on my foot by comparison.
