Over the years, Nike has released many sneakers as we all know. But its release of its latest pair of kicks has added meaning that goes beyond either comfort, colorways or style.
The Cosmic Unity is the Swoosh’s first performance sneaker it will release under its “Move to Zero” initiative. It was made in part out of recycled materials – including the swoosh logo on the sneakers.
The shoe was first debuted by the Los Angeles Lakers’ Anthony Davis in December and its latest release now includes Las Vegas Aces and WNBA superstar A’ja Wilson.
We’re wearing something that’s minimizing the impact on our planet so we can keep playing basketball and help protect it for the future.
–A’ja Wilon, Las Vegas Aces (Nike release)
