Does it not remind you of the Nike Hyperrev from many years before? The TPU Shank not only provide the torsional support but gives the shoe a very stable base. If you flip the Nike Cosmic Unity around you will be amazed to see that huge TPU Shank underneath the shoe. This shoe does start of a little stiff and will take a little time to break in. Everything was simple, the lacing system, the structure of the upper, the padding, etc. The threads of different thickness and tightness really gave the shoe a very nice shape that conforms with your feet.Īlso, I really liked how there really isn’t any lockdown gimmick of any sort on the Cosmic Unity. I think a lot of that has to do with the structure of the upper. There were no dead spaces anywhere yet it wasn’t suffocating either. The Nike Cosmic Unity fits true to size both width wise and length wise. In the NBA, not many players have been seen wearing these, most notably Anthony Davis (Los Angeles Lakers) and also on WNBA star, A’ja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces). Not only that, the shoe does also sport a pretty futuristic design. The shoe’s colourways are pretty toned down except for maybe one (the “amalgam” colourway) so you might be able hit the streets in these. Whether the Cosmic Unity is an off or on-court option… it really depends on your taste to be honest. The upper is very well-padded which made it really comfortable but not very good on the ventilation side. The upper is made up of a textile or knitted material with many overlays. Nike has claimed that parts of the Nike Cosmic Unity is made up recycled material and, in my opinion, it’s either the upper or the cushioning but I really cannot tell. The traction is herringbone and it just looks so beefy and that gets me excited. On top of that, there is a foam carrier which I suspect is where the recycled materials are at. This is probably the first basketball shoe of its kind in recent years, or as long as I can remember.Īpart from the upper, the shoe also features a Zoom Strobel Board which we have experienced in the Nike KD 13 before. The Nike Cosmic Unity boasts a pretty significant selling point, which is that a percentage of the shoe is made up of recycled materials. At a first glance, I thought the Nike Cosmic Unity was a remodeled Reebok Question… But Reebok isn’t linked to Nike at all.
