Apple just sent me my shipping notice for Unity Solo and it will be here tomorrow 2/1/22 via Deliver-IT
Yep I had a non-specific DI url that didn’t load anything and now it’s scheduled for 8pm woo. Usually they come in the morning.

Don’t think I’ve had such a late time quoted from them but alas every USPS shipment the last few years has said “by 9pm”

🎉☄️🪐🛸
 
Mine arrived today. What a beauty, but a stinker too. Can’t remember that my other braided solo loop had this odeur. And none of the fake ones from Ali express had this either. It has to spend the frosty night on the balcony.

Edit: my black light experiment.

That green in the Unity looks a little disappointing. Gotta see it in person.
I think ultimately it’s meant to read more as twinkly stars than the perfect rich green of the sport band.

I also think this is why the green and yellow are so similar in color, it creates an atmospheric perspective of stars + slightly further away stars behind the cool red ‘planets.’

Yellow recalls the Volt Nike shade and Green is like a more saturated Lime Blast.

Is the main colour more like a black or charcoal?

The design is “inspired by Afrofuturism” so I get it. I just wish the green was a bit richer. In context of the design and direction of this year’s theme, it works.

It’s jarring to look from the box art, where the yellow is more yellow and distinguishable from the green, and then to the band where the yellow is so green, but I trust it was the right call. More pix soon! The smell is already fading.

My local store is out of 7s and 8s. If stock isn’t replenished by Wednesday, I’ll just order online. I got caught slipping this morning and they sold out of my size(s).

I just realized there was more than green and red dots. The yellow is def more faint!
