[@utilitymaximizer9026]

I have flyte foam on my gel nimbus and gel cumulus, they do provide a well cushioned feel, although perhaps not to the liking of all runners. i agree, asics should expand their reach in the north american market. they also make good soccer cleats, also unavailable perhaps outside of Japan alone.

[@ArnaldoVCarvalho]

Many thanks Mr. Tommy Liu! In a comparation between Nova Surge Low and Gelburst 27, should I think that Gelburst 27 wins in terms of basketball performance?

[@nicolasalvarado7208]

Ever since playing volleyball in Asics's top end vb shoes I've always been curious about their basketball shoes. You should check out the Asics Gel Hoop series if you get the chance, super clean model

[@JUSTKOZ]

Considering Asics Is Bringing Their Skateboarding Shoes To The U.S. Which Was Surprising News, Maybe There Is A Chance Of Their Basketball Shoes Coming Here As Well. Maybe After The Slam Dunk Movie Or Something lol

[@TommyLiu4]

True, would be a good timing for them 😃

[@KR-xt6cc]

I've been hooping with the Gel Burst 26 Low, and the shoe was absolutely THE best hoop shoe I've ever worn. Having that high expectation, I tried 27 as well, but I kinda didn't like it cuz it's a little bit more flexible than 26 Low. As a big man, shoe being more flexible means less support, so I personally still prefer 26. But still a great shoe! I'm planning to try Novasurge Low next time.

[@stelekenekumized]

Did you play outdoor on gelburst 26?. How was it?

[@KingKsEDC]

Asics bball shoes are amazing. Wish they would expand to NA market.

No, the series like gelhoop, glide nova, Gelburst, Nova Surge, Nova flow, Unpre Ars of Asics are all Basketball shoes The Volleyball shoes are Asics Sky Elite, Netburner Ballistic, V-Swift, Metarise

Thabks for all of your great reviews! I know you said rhey were wide foot friendly but could you tell me if they are wide in the toebox/forefoot specifically. I'm on the hunt for something low to the ground with a really wide toe area and was thinking of trying these in an extra wide. Would love to hear any other suggestions you might have too

[@TommyLiu4]

🙏 These do have a wide toe box - so I think you’re good to go, probably won’t even need the extra wide versions unless you’re a 2E or 4E but they should have those options too.

[@TunnelvisionC]

@@TommyLiu4 Thanks so much for replying! Sounds good. I do often go for a 2 or 4E if I can to get that toe box width. Most shoes kill my pinky toe. Someone times the wide sizes just add vertical volume or to places I don't need it though so it can be hit or miss. Any other thoughts for widest specifically around the pinky toe and still low to the ground? I really love your best wide shoe videos and shorts btw.

[@renex2535]

@@jackc5444 for me because i have thick and wide foot and a heavy guard. its a matter of preference. kobe 9 is so low to the ground, too narrow toe box too would hurt my knees and ankles if i played extended time. maybe If im kobe bryant or kyrie i'll probably rank kobe 9 higher.

Hello! Its me again 😂, i need your help for reference. I bought US 8.5 AC11 and i had issues with the midfoot being very tight although the toe box is fine. I love the shoes colour but the cushioning set up is really uncomfortable for me as i have flat feet. How does this shoes feel overall compared to ac11 cushion? And should i get the same size?

[@TommyLiu4]

Hi. Oh I see, I’ve had a different experience cause the All City 11 is really comfortable for my super flat feet. Cushion on the Gelburst 27 is decent and particularly soft in the heel, it’s more low to the ground & overall I’d say it’s a better shoe than the All City 11.

[@darrensuandi7734]

[@andrewli899]

Bro I need these!!! Where to get them?

[@zabadooz.9751]

So since you had to essentially go down half and they fit you well, wouldnt half down be the move if you are a half size? I know you said TTS, but since they are not readily available in NA, I'd rather not have to deal with returning/exchanging. I'm a US 8.5M by the way and went TTS in the Nova Surge Low.

[@TommyLiu4]

Good point, I think for you that’s not an issue and TTS would still be the best option since they do have a size 8.5. For me I had no choice, but if it’s purely up to my personal preference I still wish they had a 10.5 so I could have just a bit more room inside. Unless you have really narrow feet, true to size should be good 😃
