FAQs
What does 'Move to Zero' mean for this shoe?
Nike's 'Move to Zero' initiative focuses on reducing waste and carbon footprint. This shoe is part of that effort, incorporating at least 25% recycled content by weight.
Is this shoe suitable for outdoor basketball?
While the shoe features wear-resistant materials, it is primarily designed for indoor court performance. Frequent outdoor use may lead to faster wear and tear on the outsole.
How does the Zoom Air strobel differ from a standard midsole unit?
The Zoom Air strobel is a full-length air unit stitched directly into the shoe's upper, offering a more responsive and immediate court feel compared to traditional midsole cushioning.
What is Crater Foam?
Crater Foam is a material made from recycled waste, offering a lightweight, resilient, and responsive cushioning experience.
What are the main benefits of the woven laces?
Woven laces are typically more durable and provide a more secure, less slippery fit compared to standard laces, helping to keep your foot locked into the shoe.
What is the primary sport this shoe is designed for?
This shoe is specifically designed for basketball.
What is the release date of the Nike Cosmic Unity Ghost?
The Nike Cosmic Unity Ghost was released on May 14, 2021.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the woven laces and re-lace, ensuring even pressure distribution. Consider if the shoe size is appropriate for your foot width.
Reduced traction on court
Wipe the outsole clean with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure court surfaces are clean.
Cushioning feels stiff initially
The Crater Foam may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter, less intense sessions initially to allow them to conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure they are laced appropriately for a secure and comfortable fit before engaging in athletic activity. Adjust lacing tightness based on personal preference and the demands of your sport.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor basketball courts. While the wear-resistant materials offer durability, prolonged use on abrasive outdoor courts may accelerate wear.

- Cleaning: Gently wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
