The sneaker has a high-cut design and was originally announced as a part of the brand's Move to Zero campaign with a focus on how it improves the usage rate of sustainable materials without disrupting the status of it being a functional basketball sneaker. There are four new colorway options that kick off with Coconut Milk followed by Siren Red, then yellow, and blue. All of these are detailed with multicolored accents throughout for depth and contrast. The new Cosmic Unity 2 sneaker model is set to launch online at Nike and at select retailers later this year.
