When it comes to basketball shoes, the market is stuffed full of retro pairs like the Air Jordan 1 and the Dunk. With that said, if you want something a little more futuristic, the upcoming Nike Cosmic Unity 2 "Smells Like Team Spirit" has your name written all over it. Featuring a unique aesthetic that looks like it's literally from out of this world, this silhouette flawlessly fuses on-court performance with eco-friendly sustainability.
Arriving in an Oregon Ducks-esque palette, the iron grey mesh is infused with recycled materials and is contrasted by striking enamel green accents across the board. You'll also find a dash of tour yellow on the tongue and sockliner for a look that is sure to turn heads. The Swoosh along the laterals has been finished with a moon surface texture, keeping in line with the space-age theme, and the Air Strobel midsole has been decorated with a one-of-a-kind marble effect that's as unique as it gets. The Cosmic Unity 2 also features pull tabs across the tongue and heel for a rugged and ready look and feel.
Releasing on December 1st, 2022, the Nike Cosmic Unity 2 Smells Like Team Spirit will drop in men's sizes for $160 at Nike and select online and in-store locations across the globe. More colorways are expected to be announced very soon, so make sure you follow Sole Retriever on Twitter and download our officialMobile App to find out everything that you need to know and much more!
