The uppers might not be that good compared to other Nike basketball pairs, but it can provide good lockdown and durability.īesides, the strengths of the Nike Cosmic Unity were actually put somewhere else. This implies that the forefoot does not really mold to the foot, but with some break-ins, the user’s preferred hug might still be attained. While this might depend on the user’s preference, the soft toe box does not really conform well with the user’s foot and the material even digs in when being pressed. Apologies for breaking up the party, but if you think that this is one of the positive takeaways of the pair, then you might be disappointed. Unlike the other parts of the uppers, the toe box is soft. Despite this, the pair is very promising and can still be improved in the near future if Nike will prioritize comfort on the uppers (insert crossed-fingers). Nowadays, players heavily rely on both performance and comfort of the pair, treating it as an all-in-one package. The uppers do not have good airflow and ventilation except for the tongue area, which makes the pair feel stiffer and thicker. While the pair provides good stability on majority of the uppers, it seems like it neglected comfort. Nike Cosmic Unity 2 review: The Nike Cosmic Unity 2 does not disappoint even those who have been so impressed with the original Cosmic Unity from the previous year. The textile-like and Flywire-like uppers are firm and bulky. The Nike Cosmic Unity is equipped with Air Zoom Strobel.As mentioned above, the Nike Cosmic Unity is infused with 25% recycled materials designed to cope with the fast-paced style of modern basketball. It is safe to have an extra pair or two which you can rotate from time to time when playing outdoors to preserve the pair’s thin outsole for a longer period of time. But users must take into consideration that Nike Cosmic Unity is not the best option, durability-wise, when regularly playing outdoors. Whether you use it indoors or outdoors, it will probably bite well. The performance of its traction will not be a problem. If you are the type of player who loves to slide and drag his feet very often even when playing on blacktops, it is better to think twice before buying this expensive pair. While the outsole is competitive and durable enough to last longer than expected, its durability may be lackluster in the long run due to its thin rubber materials, especially when used outdoors. However, even though it somehow reminds us of 90’s style basketball shoes, its materials are kind of thin, soft and pliable. It gives good omnidirectional stops and immediately bites to the floor regardless if you are playing indoors or outdoors. It’s herringbone-like traction pattern has no issues performance-wise. That’s actually the case with Nike Cosmic Unity. The real concern is the outsole’s overall durability. Well, the mere fact that it is still being used nowadays is already an evidence of its great reputation performance-wise.
Herringbone pattern is considered among, if not, the best traction patterns ever created.
If a basketball sneaker has a herringbone or almost similar to herringbone pattern, it is almost an automatic bright spot.
