The Nike Zoom Live 2 is a sequel to the modestly popular Nike Zoom Live 2017 (which itself was the sequel to the Hyperlive). In most respects, the show is identical to the original, including the traction and forefoot Zoom Air, but no longer includes the strikingly designed strap. Like its predecessor, the shoe hasn’t been widely adopted by NBA players, who prefer some of Nike’s more high profile models.
