Meet the Nike Cosmic Unity – trash that make for one of the kind futuristic look, and more. Nike, of course, it’s Nike, to be the first to introduce the first in the game semi-recycled basketball sneaker silhouette.

In addition, this is Nike’s first application of recycled materials in its basketball shoes, which is a major breakthrough in the material innovation of basketball shoes. The forefoot (midsole + outsole) is about 18.18 mm thick and the heel (midsole + outsole) is about 23.70 mm thick.Īs a pair of basketball shoes, COSMIC UNITY EP has got rid of the heaviness in the last two years and instead, it brings more stability. Length:160mm width in the arch: 47.38mm width in the heel: 39.84mm thickness: 2.62mm. Here are also some data of the TPU stabilizer.
