References: nike & highsnobiety
The Nike Cosmic Unity is the latest performing basketball sneaker by the sportswear brand and claims to be the "most sustainable basketball footwear.' The shoe boasts a space-theme aesthetic in terms of the design and has a black upper sitting on top of a glowing green sole unit foundation.
The shape is bulky and nods to the 90s -- this time around, the shoe gets two new colorways. The first is mainly silver for a stark look and gray as the accenting colors. The second option is vibrant with blue uppers detailed with both bright orange and turquoise. The shoes are a part of the brand's Move to Zero sustainability campaign. The shoe is constructed from "around 25 percent recycled materials by weight."
