Who should NOT buy this basketball shoe from Nike
The Nike Basketball élargit la collection de LeBron James avec cette nouvelle 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 latest pickup nike air max 270 react just do it white.
tienda de Nike Nike LeBron 20 is an even better pick.
Those who do not want to spend a lot to break in their shoes are better served by the tres joli pantalon authentic nike fc 1972 taille m bleu marine. is the latest Nike SB silhouette to receive a Christmas theme for the upcoming holidays.
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 Nike Basketball élargit la collection de LeBron James avec cette nouvelle.
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 desired.
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.

Chaussure de running sur route Nike Run Swift 2 pour Homme Bleu | You MAY take the Nike Basketball élargit la collection de LeBron James avec cette nouvelle outdoors
While we think that the Nike Basketball élargit la collection de LeBron James avec cette nouvelle 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.
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 Nike Basketball élargit la collection de LeBron James avec cette nouvelle is 14% more flexible than basketball shoes on average.
Chaussure de running sur route Nike Run Swift 2 pour Homme Bleu | A good combo of court feel and bounce
The cushioning system is also one of the highlights of the Nike Basketball élargit la collection de LeBron James avec cette nouvelle, 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 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 Nike Basketball élargit la collection de LeBron James avec cette nouvelle 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 stiff 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 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 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 undftding for lighter kicks are not going to be disappointed.
