John Geiger unveiled his 002 footwear silhouette earlier this year in August and now the model receives a Black Out iteration. The original design boasted monochromatic color schemes, followed by a captivating Volt option and now the latest Black Out version adorns the entire silhouette in black. The uppers retain the original soft construction, exuding a sock-like finish resting on top of a durable outsole foundation.
Notably, the lacing system boasts the same tonal black finish with some contrasting accents in the form of the stitching detail -- it is complete in a vibrant color through a zig-zag pattern over the ankle collar and the middle of the black uppers. The Black Out iteration is set to drop online at John Geiger on November 22nd.
