Nike Lebron Witness 8 Review
Pros:
Solid traction performance
Comfortable fit
Cons:
Materials lack lateral support
Stiff cushioning
Performance of the Nike Lebron Witness 8:
The latest budget shoe from Nike and LeBron is more of the same compared to the last couple of iterations.
Reviewers agree the traction and outsole are the best features. The grip isn't an issue on dust, either.
The cushioning is stiff, but the shoe is responsive with decent bounciness.
Nike's use of materials is nothing special, but they get the job done.
Support and lockdown are mostly adequate, but the lateral containment is lacking. There aren't enough features for players to feel confident during heavy lateral movements.
The Nike LeBron Witness 8 has enough traction to help players who like to get up and down in transition. Just beware of the lateral containment.

The Nike LeBron Witness 8 is a solid, budget performer. I think it's a good pickup if you can get it at a discount. The cushioning is soft, and the traction works.

The Nike LeBron Witness 8 does not inspire confidence. The lateral containment was not secure enough because of the lack of containment features.

The Witness 8 is decent shoe but a lot of options better than him for the price.
The tracion is Freaking amazing It's almost top notch, on clean court u go to go, on dust is consistent and the durability is good.
The cushining is SUCKS i didn't like. I have a problem with my heel so I need a good cushion and responsive and the cushining of the Witness 8 isn't good.
The material is thin and very lightweight.
The Lockdown i don´t liked so much because the base on the forfoot is not so large.

Traction might be the shoe's best feature. The setup is grippy and offers top-notch directional coverage. It's not elite, but it is versatile.
