The 361° Joker 2 GT “J Vibe” combines deep violet, lavender, and white tones with the shoe's distinctive DIAMOND SHELL upper construction. Rather than relying on large contrasting color blocks, the design creates visual depth through tonal variation, patterned surfaces, and sculpted reinforcement elements.
Black laces and collar detailing provide additional contrast, while the coordinated purple midsole and outsole maintain a consistent color direction throughout the shoe.
Purple Color Palette and Tonal Layering
The defining feature of the “J Vibe” colorway is its combination of dark violet, muted lavender, and pale purple accents.
The exterior reinforcement structure uses a deeper purple shade, while lighter lavender and white patterned sections remain visible underneath. This contrast creates a layered appearance without introducing an unrelated color palette.
Across the forefoot and midfoot, closely spaced reinforcement elements gradually transition into larger curved structures. The combination of darker exterior components and lighter underlying material emphasizes the shoe's three-dimensional geometry.
Black laces run through the center of the upper, providing a clear contrast against the surrounding purple materials.
DIAMOND SHELL Upper Construction
The Joker 2 GT features an engineered mesh upper with DIAMOND SHELL reinforcement created through KPU micro-injection technology.
The DIAMOND SHELL structure consists of three-dimensional reinforcement elements extending across the forefoot, midfoot, and lateral sections. Its curved geometry partially exposes the underlying mesh, creating alternating areas of solid reinforcement and visible textile.
On the “J Vibe” colorway, the lighter underlay features irregular purple and white graphics. These patterns remain visible between the darker structural elements, contributing to the shoe's layered visual treatment.
The DIAMOND SHELL system is designed to reinforce upper containment and support while maintaining ventilation through the underlying mesh construction.
Heel Design and Sculpted Sidewall
The rear section continues the purple color treatment through a combination of smooth surfaces, textured panels, and contrasting shapes.
A lighter lavender insert appears along the lateral heel, creating a visible distinction between the surrounding darker upper and the lower structural section. The black collar lining adds another contrast point around the ankle opening.
Below the upper, the midsole features a sculpted sidewall with several recessed openings along the lateral midfoot. These geometric details add depth to the shoe's profile while maintaining its predominantly purple appearance.
QU!K LIGHT and CQTEXTREME Cushioning
The Joker 2 GT combines QU!K LIGHT cushioning units in the forefoot and heel with a full-length CQTEXTREME supercritical midsole.
This cushioning configuration is designed to provide responsiveness and impact absorption across different sections of the shoe.
The underfoot construction also incorporates a CBR reinforcement system, integrating a QU!KBONE carbon plate with TPU through a one-piece molding process.
This assembly forms a dedicated structural reinforcement component designed to improve torsional rigidity and stability, with a function distinct from the primary cushioning materials.
Purple RPU Outsole and Traction Geometry
The outsole continues the coordinated purple palette, combining directional traction grooves and intricate molded patterns across different contact areas.
The forefoot and heel feature distinct geometric arrangements, while a series of openings near the midfoot introduces additional structural detail.
The outsole uses RPU material combined with reinforced TPU components, with traction, support, and abrasion resistance among its design priorities.
Visually, the detailed outsole patterns complement the curved DIAMOND SHELL elements across the upper. Their different geometries create continuity between the upper structure and the ground-contact surface.
Overall
The 361° Joker 2 GT “J Vibe” is visually defined by its layered purple color treatment, contrasting black laces, patterned upper underlay, curved DIAMOND SHELL reinforcement, and sculpted midsole geometry.
Its construction combines an engineered mesh upper with KPU-reinforced DIAMOND SHELL technology, QU!K LIGHT and CQTEXTREME cushioning, an integrated QU!KBONE carbon plate and TPU support system, and an RPU outsole.
The combination of deep violet, lavender, and white allows the different structural components to remain visually distinct while maintaining a cohesive color palette. Rather than relying on extensive color blocking, the “J Vibe” develops its identity through tonal variation, surface patterns, and three-dimensional detailing.
