Retro sneakers from Nike often inform the design language of modern-day silhouettes, as seen with models like the Nike Book 1. Alongside the actual construction of the sneaker, retro sneaker’s colorways are translated onto newer sneakers. The latest to join the latter of the two homages is the Cosmic Unity 3, getting the iconic Silver Bullet treatment, a colorway synonymous with the beloved Air Max 97.
The Cosmic Unity 3 Silver Bullet channels the essence of the Air Max 97 through its layered panel design. Mimicking the Air Max's signature silver tones, the sneaker's recycled upper is a sleek homage, with vibrant red accents highlighting key details. This striking combination of silver and red brings a dynamic visual appeal to the court-ready silhouette.
Functionality and style go hand-in-hand in the Cosmic Unity 3. The midsole, presented in a clean white, incorporates a grey mesh window on the midfoot, accented by a bold red Swoosh. This feature adds an aesthetic flair and ensures breathability and flexibility during high-intensity play. Completing the design is a durable black outsole, providing excellent traction and support for quick movements and jumps.
The Nike Cosmic Unity 3 Silver Bullet releases on December 27, 2023, via Nike and select retailers both online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the pair will retail for $170.
