Asics Nova Surge Low 2

Wider Base, Bigger Bounce

The Nova Surge Low 2 is the low-cut counterpart to the main Nova Surge line, positioned by Asics for 'competitive to elite' players who want energized cushioning with lateral stability. The key update over the original Low was a switch to FF Blast Plus foam for a more energized response and softer landings, plus a wider midsole gauge and a redesigned heel-lock loop lace system. Like most Asics hoop shoes this generation, it was primarily sold in Asian markets 鈥 reaching the US mainly through eBay resellers and specialty stores. Within the Asics basketball community, the Nova Surge Low 2 earned a reputation as one of the more balanced options in the lineup: not as speed-focused as the Unpre Ars, not as max-cushioned as the full Nova Surge, but comfortable across a wide range of players.
