Performance Summary

Cons
Cheap and flimsy upper material
Inconsistent traction
Best Suitable For: Only recommended for Lebron fans who can't afford his more expensive signature shoes
Category Performance Ratings
7.5
Traction
Simple tread with black rubber compound. Forefoot grip works for cuts but heel can slip and rubber picks up dust, reducing bite.
8.0
Cushion
Forefoot Zoom unit with Phylon heel foam. Bouncy forefoot and smooth transitions but heel foam can feel firm to some players.
7.5
Materials
Budget mesh upper with synthetic elements. Feels cheap in hand but is comfortable on foot. Durability and premium feel are limited.
8.0
Support
One-bootie construction with snug lockdown. Delivers stable lateral support and minimal heel slippage despite a slightly flimsy upper.
8.0
Fit
Runs long so go down half a size. One-bootie fits snug and can pinch wider feet but is easy to get on.
80%
Outdoor
Black rubber picks up dust and is not very aggressive. Likely not ideal for heavy outdoor use and may wear faster.
small
large
Sizing
Runs slightly long for most. Reviewers recommend going down half a size for true fit.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits narrow to regular best. Slightly wide-footers may feel pinching in the forefoot and should size up or seek wider models.

The Lebron Witness 4 is a very solid performer - especially for $100. If the traction was a little better, this would be a complete banger!

For a $100 you get a decent performer, but even at this price range there are much better shoes out there. I didn't like the cushioning and had some issues with the traction - I can't really recommend these.

So I've been hearing a lot of bad reviews about these. They aren't that bad. Traction takes break in time. Materials feel cheap. However the support is great as well as durability. For the price it is not bad.

Pros: very cheap Air shoe, with good support and okay traction. Serves me well outside.
Cons: heavy, snug (should go up half size), cushion not very compressive.
Pretty good for outdoor use tho.

The black outsole doesn't bite crazy hard and picks up some dust. Overall the traction is not amazing but definitely doable.

The traction in the forefoot was just fine. When planting the whole foot on lateral cuts I felt the heel sliding out at times.

Heel-to-toe transition is pretty smooth, the Phylon in the heel has a nice compression and the Zoom unit in the forefoot is pretty bouncy.

The foam in the heel is pretty stiff and I couldn't feel the Zoom units in the forefoot like I did in the Lebron 17.

The upper is made from a pretty crappy-looking Mesh material. Comfort and on-foot performance is solid

The materials are definitely not premium and feel cheapish in-hand. But the materials get the job done - I didn't have any issues on-foot.

The one-bootie upper might make it difficult for wide-footers to get into the shoe and I experienced a little bit of dead space in the toe box. Other than that, the fit was solid.
