Plus they’re fairly priced, so when you inevitably bust them up it won’t hurt as much The durable and effective traction and top-notch impact protection are everything you could ask for from an outdoor hoop shoe. Especially as an outdoor option, I think it’s a really good performance basketball shoe. Overall, I really did end up enjoying the Nike LeBron Witness 7. FitĪs far as fit goes, you can go true to size, and the one positive aspect of the stretchy forefoot is that I think the Nike LeBron Witness 7 will be a good option for wide-footers. Again, the materials on the toe box allowed for way too much movement in my opinion, but it didn’t make the shoe unplayable. The lateral containment pieces help keep your foot in place on lateral movements, heel lockdown is on point, and the wide forefoot helps add stability in that area. SupportĪs far as support goes, once the initial wobbling was resolved everything worked well. If they had used the same materials as on the Nike Air Max Impact 4, the Nike LeBron Witness 7 might have snuck its way into our best overall basketball shoes for the year.
I aesthetically really like the shoe and have even used them casually, but I would have liked some extra lockdown in the forefoot. They are cheap and over-stretchy, especially in the toe box. Materials are the shoe’sbiggest weakness. However, the more I played them, the more the shoe conformed to my foot, and the cushioning got more stable, to the point where this was no longer an issue. If you see the bottom of the shoe, you will see that right in the midfoot, the sole begins to thin, and you lose contact surface in that area, and you have a big slab of wobbling air right under your foot.Īt the beginning of my testing, I even considered suggesting people avoid these shoes entirely. With my pair, I noticed at first that the Nike LeBron Witness 7 felt unstable and I even slightly rolled my ankle a couple of times. The cushion also takes some time to break in. One thing to keep in mind is that you sit pretty high up in this shoe, and therefore, court feel is not a strong point. We have the same ¾ Air Max unit as in the Witness 6 that will give you a tone of impact protection. CushioningĬushioning on the Nike LeBron Witness 7 is also great if you’re looking for an affordable max cushion setup. The rubber of the sole is tough and tacky which makes the Nike LeBron Witness 7 a great outdoor option traction-wise. You have a deeply set, full-length herringbone traction pattern which gives you great multidirectional coverage. The traction, as in the Witness 6 is beefy, grippy, and works great. I personally like the changes made to this shoe, but let’s jump into the performance details to see why. The weave of the textiles on the upper is now a grid, we have some new synthetic leather details, and the cut of the shoe is slightly higher. The materials used on the shoe are another main difference. The design is very off-white-esque, going for a more deconstructed, industrial vibe. It’s surprising to see how different looking the Nike LeBron Witness 7 is while keeping the same tech as the 6. But also at first glance, a lot has changed aesthetically. We have the same cushioning setup and traction pattern, the same midsole, and similar lateral lockdown pieces in the midfoot. It’s tough being a LeBron model these days.Īt first glance tech-wise, not a lot has changed from last year’s model.
The Nike LeBron Witness 6 was one of the best budget and outdoor models last season, and the LeBron 20 is shaping up to possibly be the best overall basketball shoe of this season. Price: R2,099.The Nike LeBron Witness 7 has a very high standard to live up to. Molded foam midsole is lightweight, resilient and helps smooth the transition from heel to toe.Įxternal TPU pieces along the heel provide side-to-side stability and help harness and direct your force. The rubber is split and partially cut out under the arch to help reduce weight and let it flex.
The durable rubber outsole has a classic herringbone traction pattern front to back. Reinforced stitching along the sides helps the shoe fit snugly.

It runs the shoe's full length and is shaped to follow where your foot hits the court.īreathable mesh provides a lightweight, conforming fit. Max Air cushioning helps to dissipate the hard forces of impact and give you a bouncy, responsive sensation. The lightweight, reinforced mesh upper keeps you contained all around, from the webbing that harnesses your forefoot to the external molded pieces that lock in your heel. For this iteration of the LeBron Witness, we swapped out Zoom Air for visible Max Air cushioning-LeBron's favourite-to help dissipate impact forces and provide a responsive sensation.
