Never thought I'd laud a cosmetic change, but here goes:
The 2100 series has been my "go-to" shoe for some time, including, in black, for work. Up to the 2160, there were grey stripes on the side, which are now gone, making the shoe slightly less obvious in the work environment.  If they'd only get rid of that grey material on the toe!
That I wear them all the time, for running and living, should be all the testament you need.
