Effectively half of what made the original stand out, the 2021 version of the “Beijing” opts for a simpler, symmetrical color blocking. Black leathers dress the overlays from end to end, matching the Swoosh, tread, and the newly applied development style text that marks the white midsole. Underneath, the base rounds out the design with a tinge of familiarity, displaying its deep purple shades across the toe, mid-panel, and collar. Finally, to better signal the fragment name, the trademark lightning bolt stamps right atop the back heel.
