Dual-Density Foam At A Budget Price
The Renew Elevate 2 arrived in 2021 with a meaningful tweak: a dual-density Renew foam midsole that paired a slightly softer top layer with a firmer base. WearTesters and HoopsGeek both noted the improvement, with the shoe offering more impact protection and a touch more energy return than the first Renew Elevate while staying in the same budget bracket. The engineered mesh upper got a cleaner update, and the outsole retained the deep durable rubber pattern that made the line outdoor-friendly. The Renew Elevate 2 stretched the limits of what Nike could offer at around 80 to 90 dollars retail and earned its keep across rec leagues and high school programs. It quietly became a fan favorite among budget-conscious hoopers.
