(It’s better that they’re doing something, but we fight for Good here and we don’t settle for better. Two, stop marketing this and patting yourself on the back for it while simultaneously shipping your t-shirts to stores individually wrapped in plastic bags with three pieces of tissue paper wrapping each shirt. One, don’t tell me this foam has ANY performance benefits, it doesn’t. It’s an initiative I can get behind, I like reducing my eco footprint more than most. Which is Nike talk for recycled materials they had lying around the warehouse. Where the cushioning setup falls short is the Meteor Foam. Yet for the 98% of us who aren’t dunking from the free throw line, it’s more than enough. It doesn’t have the best impact protection if you’re a high flyer, the unit is quite thin after all. Providing explosive first steps and all game comfort. In the Cosmic Unity the Zoom strobel is as bouncy as ever. It keeps you low to the ground for great responsiveness, while simultaneously giving you full length comfort you feel on every step. This is the best cushioning technology in basketball right now. It’s still good and reliable, but it’s not great.įull length Zoom Strobel is not to be under estimated. This isn’t the same application of full length herringbone as the Harden Vol. It’s why the PG5 works well, but not as well as the Kobe 9 which has the exact same pattern, and it’s why on the LeBron 17’s that I had the translucent material gripped harder and shredded itself while the solid white rubber outsole didn’t grip nearly as well but lasted longer. That’s why the KD Trey 5 VII & VII work so damned well. If the rubber doesn’t grip the surface, it doesn’t matter the pattern. Here’s the honest truth, the pattern doesn’t matter. Is it because I’m stupid and easily forget what I know to be true? Yup! Is it because the best traction patterns I’ve ever used are herringbone? Partially, but no. Why am I mistrustful? Is it bad experiences with other patterns? No. So few shoes in Nike’s lineup actually use this pattern nowadays, yet I never find myself trusting any other pattern until after playing in it. The team also obsessed over the visual aesthetics of the shoe, making sure it looked fast, sleek and futuristic.Full length herringbone almost feels like a thing of the past. The shoe also features a layered cable system crafted with 99% recycled content, a sockliner made from recycled polyester, and the foxing uses a recycled polyurethane and polyester blend. For example, about 10% Nike Grind rubber combined with new content was used to create the Crater Foam midsole. To hit the magic number of 25%, the designers used a unique combination of partially recycled components and efficiently manufactured new materials. With Cosmic Unity, we hit 25% by weight". "We're committed to try to improve the amount of recycled content by 5%. "We want to get better as we go on", Bennett explained. But as he went through the development of the shoe, he started to see parallels between the game he loves and Nike's mission-the idea that you can get a little bit better every year. Bennett Shaw, the Product Line Manager for Cosmic Unity, is a basketball enthusiast but not an expert on Nike's Move to Zero.
