In short
The Nike Method Origin B2-01 (2015) is a blade putter suited to players with an arcing stroke. It has mid toe hang.
The Method Origin B2-01 came out in 2015, near the end of Nike's run as a golf equipment company, and it plays like a farewell to the classic putter shape. It's a traditional heel-toe weighted blade with no gimmicks. No insert screaming for attention, no oversized head, no alignment system beyond a simple sight line's absence. Nike built its Method line around milled faces and groove technology that got the ball rolling forward faster, and the Origin series stripped that idea down to its cleanest form.
What you get here is a putter for players who aim with the face and trust their hands. The mid toe hang matches a stroke with some arc to it, the kind most golfers naturally make with a blade. Nike left the golf equipment business in 2016, so the B2-01 never got a successor. That makes it something of a time capsule, but not a museum piece. Plenty of these still show up in bags because the shape works and always has.
If you're hunting for one now, you're buying used, and prices reflect a putter people actually want rather than leftover stock. It holds its value better than most Nike clubs from that era.
The B2-01 follows the Anser-style template that has dominated blade putters for fifty years, and Nike didn't mess with the formula much. A plumber's neck hosel creates the mid toe hang, which means the face wants to open and close through the stroke rather than stay square to the target line the whole way. The head sits clean at address with a squared-off flange and minimal distractions. There's no alignment aid, so setup relies on the leading edge and the face itself. Where Nike put its engineering was the face. The Method line's grooves were designed to reduce skid and get the ball into a true roll sooner after impact, and the feel off the face is firm but not clicky. It rewards a well-struck putt with a distinct, solid response and lets you know clearly when you've caught one toward the toe.
Nike brings a distinctive approach to putter design, focusing on quality materials, precision manufacturing, and performance-driven engineering.
