Nike is gearing up for the upcoming basketball season with an array of new performance releases. While several of these involve Nike Basketball’s lineup of NBA superstars, standalone models such as 2021’s Cosmic Unity are finding themselves revamped for this year. Named the Cosmic Unity 2, the silhouette has evolved into a higher resting shoe with updated detailing and technology. The first Cosmic Unity was originally announced as part of Nike’s “Move to Zero” campaign as it blended an emphasis on improving the usage rate of sustainable materials while maintaining its status as a court-ready shoe.

While specifics regarding the story and construction of the Cosmic Unity 2 have not yet been shared, the shoe looks to utilize recycled materials once again with Nike’s Crater Foam. Four release colorways include a cream “Coconut Milk,” bold “Siren Red” and blue and yellow colorways which feature multicolored accents on each.

The Nike Cosmic Unity 2 is expected to hit shelves later this year via Nike and select retailers. While we await an official release date and price, check out the official first look of the silhouette above.
