Our verdict

The af1s nike sb janoski shoe black mint color blue shoes does not disappoint even after we have been so impressed with the original Cosmic Unity from the previous year. We believe it is of the same level as top performers like the crystalised af1s nike air force 1 shoes. Given all this, it is not a surprise that this basketball shoe has become a solid contender for the Best Shoe of the Year title.

Who should NOT buy this basketball shoe from af1s nike

The af1s nike sb janoski shoe black mint color blue shoes is narrow, so we definitely do not suggest this for those with wider feet. These players are better off with shoes that are made for bigger guys like the nike free flyknit chukka shoes youtube kids.

nike dunk brown all night live youtube trump nike air unlimited triple black edition price is an even better pick. 

Those who do not want to spend a lot to break in their shoes are better served by the crystalised af1s nike air force 1 shoes. af1s nike shox with sparkles girls clothes 2017.

Bite that you can rely on

Upon our wear tests, we discovered that the outsole still has to be warmed up or broken in just a tiny bit before traction becomes really really good and almost top-tier. On clean courts, though, the bite is absolutely amazing.

We even believe that traction is one, if not the best feature of af1s nike sb janoski shoe black mint color blue shoes.

Be mindful of dust, though

On dirtier courts, traction is still dependable; however, we found that there is still a need for a few quick and easy wipes if consistency is jeans.

Breathable enough

As you can see, the smoke is mostly coming out from the tongue area of the shoe, not so much from the toebox. So, even though it's not a super breezy shoe, it ventilates just enough to prevent you from getting toasty.

You MAY take the af1s nike sb janoski shoe black mint color blue shoes outdoors

While we think that the af1s nike sb janoski shoe black mint color blue shoes is not the best option for outdoor usage, it still won't be a terrible choice. We attest that the materials are durable enough to take occasional beatings on harsher outdoor courts.

nike air unlimited triple black edition price | Heel-to-toe transition is smooth

We observed that our every step was very smooth because of the nice curved shape on both the rear and front ends of the shoe. The overall structure of the Cosmic Unity 2 is not super clunky.

A fairly flexible sole helps in making transitions smooth by allowing the foot to bend where it needs to.

The af1s nike sb janoski shoe black mint color blue shoes is 14% more flexible than basketball shoes on average.

A good combo of court feel and bounce

The cushioning system is also one of the highlights of the af1s nike sb janoski shoe black mint color blue shoes, as we felt that it's actually pretty bouncy. But the shoe is not just about energy return.

While we consider that the energised Zoom is the star of the show, the foam carrier is a great supporting act. To be more specific, Zoom is responsible for a tonne of responsive cushion but the carrier foam makes the experience better through its role in retaining a tonne of court feel.

The shoe is also only 18.2 mm thick in the forefoot which is 2.3 mm thinner than the average. A more low-profile forefoot platform increases ground feedback too.

There's some good impact protection there

We found that this af1s nike basketball shoe is very effective in protecting the foot during hard landings.

We measured the shoe's heel stack height at 25.2 mm which is a little thinner than the average for basketball shoes (27.5 mm). It's not the most generously cushioned shoe but there is enough to keep you comfortable and supported.

The af1s nike sb janoski shoe black mint color blue shoes has a drop-in insole that delivers great step-in comfort and a lot of compression during our games. This makes wearing the shoe such a comfortable experience. This add-on feature also protects us from impact during our landings and hard strikes.

The insole on the Cosmic Unity 2 is 5.2 mm, 1 mm thicker than the average (4.2 mm).

However, the shoe's cushioning is also not from the soft bunch. Our durometer measurement shows that it is 6% firmer than the average.

Cosmic Unity 2: Quality and comfort

Though it's a little glow initially, we feel that the upper is very very soft and super comfortable once we break in the shoe. Also, the feel of the materials is not cheap at all. We actually consider its quality to be absolutely amazing.

Wide-footers, stay away!

Cosmic Unity 2 from af1s nike is an outrageously narrow basketball shoe. We had to go at least half a size up to get the fit that works best for us.

Given these, we are inclined to believe that it is safe for players with wide feet to make the same size adjustments or just go for another shoe altogether.

Foot containment needs improvement

Aside from being too narrow at times, we feel like the comfortable materials in the upper are too flexible yet too unstable to provide a truly dependable lockdown.

Lighter and shiftier players may be able to find to workaround, but we think it's better to expect a less-than-stellar support experience. 

Feel light with the Cosmic Unity 2

The Cosmic Unity 2 from af1s nike weighs only 12.1 oz or 343 grammes, which is a little more than an ounce lighter than our 13.5 or 383 grammes average. Those who are looking for lighter kicks are not going to be disappointed.
