When trying this in-store in my true to size, I noticed some heel slippage so decided to go down half a size which was ultimately the correct call. After that broke it though, the shoe was fully good to go in beast mode! The forefoot and containment otherwise were solid out the box as well as the traction and cushioning, but the loose fit in the heel area for the first few wears was noticeable and undesirable.
One small negative with the shoe was the need for some necessary break-in time.
Some break-in time needed in the Cosmic Unity The wide herringbone grooves do pick up dust, so be prepared to wipe from time to time. On all types of indoor courts(clean, dusty), the traction held up and did so outdoors as well. I tested the shoe in some indoor men’s leagues games as well as several fast-moving shootarounds on an outdoor court. The Nike Cosmic Unity has very consistent traction across both indoor and outdoor terrains. Since debuting a few years ago, Zoom Strobel has been one of my favorite cushioning setups and provides a general nice balance of balanced supportive cushioning with a sufficient amount of court feel.īack to the basics - effective herringbone traction One cool aspect is that from inspecting the bottom of the shoe you can clearly see the air cushioning layout from the outsole. The cushion on the Cosmic Unity was top tier with another implementation of full-length Zoom Air Strobel, similar to the Nike KD 13.
I will admit the fine-looking aesthetics & sustainably designed aspect played into my general appreciation of the shoe, but the performance of the shoe was no joke, hitting well across the board. To me, the Nike Cosmic Unity is one of my favorite performers of the year. Your browser does not support the video tag.
