Nike Lebron 20 Review
Pros:
Bouncy cushion setup
Tacky traction compound
Cons:
Not much court feel
High price tag
Performance of the Nike Lebron 20:
The traction on the LeBron 20 is tacky, and it grips most court surfaces. The occasional wipe is needed, but it doesn't hinder performance.
Nike toned the cushioning down from previous models, but it's still insanely bouncy.
The materials are comfortable, thin, and breathable on foot. It also helps to keep you contained during play.
On fit, some reviewers praised the LeBron 20 for its snug, 1-to-1 fit. Other reviewers had split opinions on how the shoe accommodates wide footers.
The lacing and materials work together to keep your foot contained on the footbed. Reviewers didn't have any complaints when it came to the support of the shoe.
Overall, the Nike LeBron 20 is an impressive all-around performer. The traction, cushioning, and support are versatile enough to offer something to most players.

The Nike LeBron 20 has all the tech needed to be an excellent performance basketball shoe but struggles to put it together. The traction was inconsistent, and the court feel can be better.

As a preface I’ve never liked Lebron’s. Excellent traction - court I play on isn’t the best kept yet these were SUPER grippY right out of the box. I prefer limited cushioning for more court feel and stability- I’d say XXs are a good mix of these attributes while still v comfortable. The forefoot has excellent court feel while the heel feels a little bouncier (I’m assuming this has to do with Nike Air) - I could live without this feature, but it’s popular. Materials feel excellent and durable.

This is the best shoe out right now. The 3 main components that I look for in a basketball shoe are traction, cushioning, and fit. The traction is the best on the market, the cushioning is a good mix of bouncy and responsive, and the shoe fits perfectly. This is the best
shoe on the market in my opinion and if price isn’t a factor, should be a must cop.

I have a CW with a pink leather material, and I use it mainly casually because they are so fucking beautiful, but I hooped in them 2 times both outdoors and they were amazing, Everything is top top tier, I just expected a little bit more about the cushion, but these have the best fit and comfort I ever had in a hoop shoe. Really amazing.

It is hands down the best all around basketball shoe out there. The only downside is the price, and the durability of its rubber outsole, since it has a soft rubber compound. Just avoid playing outdoors with this shoes unless you can afford another pair
