Nike Cosmic Unity - Nike's First Sustainable Basketball Sneaker (Retail $120-150)

I can’t explain why but they look like a women’s shoe to me. Maybe it’s the shape of the collar? I loved playing in the first pair though so maybe I’ll still try these out.

I like the OG Naturals, but I don't really like these though the color is cool.

The OGs were *chef's kiss*

I just got mine in, personally I hated the way cosmic 1 felt I never even tried to hoop it, it felt caged and stiff and made me feel like I was rocking a size 13 sneaker (I wear 11.5). I tried on the cosmic 2 today and they feel so much better than the 1, I haven’t actually played in them yet but I plan on it in the next couple days.

The cosmic 2 is more minimal and less clunky feeling. It feels geared more towards a guard as opposed to the 1 which never felt that way to me at least. I’m 6’0 180 lbs and mostly play the point.

Here are some comparison pics for y’all, I hope these perform as well as they feel! Enjoy.

They don’t look as clunky. I like the 1s aesthetically but as far as playing in them, they weren’t for me. I felt they were more suited for a forward/center. Think imma sit this model out.

How's the ankle collar height on the 2's vs 1's?
 
Shoeit in the video says they’re not basketball shoes and they’re dangerous to wear 😉!!
 
Am I the only one that liked playing in the 1s? :lol: I thought the court feel on those was among the best I’ve played in and at least imo they didn’t feel noticeably heavy. I’m not exactly a bigger/heavier player either.

I feel like the 1 is just so much more interesting in design and materials used.
 
This has to be one of the biggest, what can we say to be appropriate without being flagrant....underperforming sneakers?

Remember when AD wore the 1s and so many people were like what is that, and they did well and I saw people playing in those.

With the 2s, I just feel like it's a shoe without a market. I don't know who's supposed to want those. Not hoopers, not kids, not old people, not teenagers, not 30-year olds, eco-people? bowleres? like who?

Anyway, a new colorway, I think

Def hoopers but crap roll out and no build. What’s tech? Price point? Just feels like a random shoe.
 
No marketing or signature player and odd color choices

They need to restock the original fire colorways from the 1st one or at least put those on this one. Mainly the grey/orange and the black/red/multicolor/ghost swoosh
