Nike LeBron 20

[@LocustAndWildHoney]

“Le Kobe”! I’m really looking forward to these. I havnt hooped in a lebron in so long, mainly because of how bulky a lot of them are, so these are a welcome addition

[@jamiest.patrick9794]

Agreed! Lebron has some dope silhouette’s but they look like they made more for the winter solider, than hooping

[@DaKidGowie]

These are definitely the toughest Bron's I've seen in a while. They're more sleek than usual.

[@650FRANCIS]

cuz they’re Kobes

[@KrazC]

This was CLEARLY in response to all the love for the Kobe line, from players that were hording pairs to play in, to fans paying massive resale on the Mambacitas/Grinch/etc. I just hope that they provide "max cushion" like previously Lebrons, because your boys feet needs that cushion.

[@nectarpeach2853]

👆👆👆 nailed it, very accurate analysis of the shoe market

[@vianvargas3816]

Yeah ur right, but I think if u noticed he’s been rockin his low signature line for the past few seasons. I think that’s one of the main reasons why 20s are low but for the design I have to agree that it’s very kobe-ish.

[@jjlee8438]

I have literally never been more excited for a release, been waiting for these a loong time Also it's so cool that you can literally see the double swoosh of the lebron 20 on the heel dunkman logo

[@chefsigma6672]

Stop lying

[@LordBass10]

Im waiting for the pink/bred cw but i definently am looking forwarding to picking up a pair. As far as price i thought 200 was a bit much especially comparing them to other lebrons but then i remembered that the kobe 11 elites were 200 and various other low tops with flyknit retailed at 200 so im not mad but i wish they were around 160 - 180.

[@nassiglutt6587]

Agree these should be atleast 170. It can't be more than the kobe 6 protros. Many are excited finally for a lebron specially this mix of kobe and curry 9s with sacai vibes🤤

[@Iamdasouth]

Chris you have the 3 best Lebrons that LeBron 2 "Maccabi" white&gold and that LeBron 3 "barbershop" and now the LeBron 20 I salute you bro your the man💪🏾💯

[@Anjo.inspires]

I might be alone in this, but I actually like the 19’s. To be fair though, I’m completely new to the world of sneakers and I’m just buying what I enjoy at the moment but I appreciate reviews like these because they’re helping me understand this crazy world of sneakers just a lil bit better and also giving me a greater appreciation of the work, craftsmanship, and thought that goes into this that I likely never would have considered, so I appreciate what you do. Much love from the Chi!

[@WearTesters]

Don’t ever stop buying what you enjoy. Personal taste and preferences are what makes each of us unique.

[@kingofjerz2481]

I’m a LBJ fan. I think I have 7 colorways of the 19s

[@ajmk2845]

I love the 19. I have a bigger build so Lebrons always hold me down on court

[@Kreamstyle627]

The 19's were my first LeBron sneaker. They are very comfortable in my opinion.

[@Anjo.inspires]

@@WearTesters thanks for the encouragement. I had someone trying to tell me to only purchase for investment purposes and I was like, but what about which ones I’m gonna put on my feet 😂🤣😂🤣

[@MrFantastic23]

I'm really digging these! I like how he's pulling back a bit from the Air Max. I like air max but I just felt it made his shoes so unstable. Also, digging that t-shirt and as a kid from the 80s I instinctively knew all the fonts lol

[@gabrielperez82204]

Wow this is seriously the most excited I’ve been for a lebron in at least a decade

[@RyanPerlmanCooks]

I can’t lie, I’m hyped for these. This colorway isn’t my favorite but the shoe itself is perfectly Kobe-like. I will definitely be picking up a pair or 2 of these

[@dbowe4415]

Absolutely my favorite LeBron design since the 15. I'm glad they went in the low top direction, as he had been playing in a number of lows since the 15. He played in the 17, 18, and 19 lows quite frequently, maybe even more than the mid tops. I'm definitely excited to get multiple pairs of these!

[@joshhutton9534]

I guess I'll hope they pump out colorways and grab a pair on sale for under $150. But I'm excited for this one.

[@kalvin.]

That’s what I thought about the GT Cuts when they first came out 😢

[@thanoskoltsidas5163]

Hi Chris, what’s up man! Huge fan from overseas (Greek, but living in Sweden for many years now). I wanted to say that I love the content you guys are putting out there. You’re my go to channel on KZbin for years now and not just for the reviews. I’ve promised myself to get into joining your discord community for some time but I haven’t got to doing it yet -I will though! I have a question on the LBJ XX in terms of its sizing: compared to the Lebron 9 Lows and the Lebron 7, what size did you go for? We have the same taste in terms of fit (like ‘em snug) so I was wondering if you can help me out to cop the right size for the XX (drops tomorrow in Europe). I’m wearing 9.5 on the 9 low and it fits nice and snug and the 7s were a bit too wiggly for my taste to play in (had them at size 10). On the Air Jordan 36 that’s also snug by design I’m wearing 10 and it fits great, so I was wondering if you think I should go for 9.5 or 10. Thanks for the help, keep being you and producing awesome and honest content! /Thanos

[@WearTesters]

Thanks for the kind words, Thanos. You should be good going TTS. They’ll be slightly snug, but in a comfortable way. Especially since the build it a woven material.

[@zhengzhu27]

Finally a LeBron shoes that I would be willing to buy in the last 4 years.

[@TruthJX]

I hope they continue in this direction. So much of the lebron line feels overdesidgned to me. Price is ridiculous tho

[@smurphy965]

That sphere is the same that they used on the zoom generation. It’s on the ankle collar and tongue. It’s like dri fit

[@Lordhavemercy96]

I think these have the potential to be LBJs most memorable shoe. Almost a tribute to Kobe, I love these. The 10s have been my fav since they dropped, those thangs are absolutely gems. These are definitely up there.

[@mainsourcery]

Nike Sphere inner was in Lebrons 1-3. I think they worked pretty well.

[@kendallwhitfield5504]

Best Lebron in a looooooooooooooooong time! Curious to see all the different colorways!

[@ma76bball68]

These look fantastic! I'll be waiting for a darker color way...and for the price to go down. They'll most likely be between 220-240 over here in Japan. Hope they make a darker purple/Lakers color way!

[@Sn_krs8]

Never been excited for a Lebron before, but this got me all pumped up 🔥🙌🏻

[@rodrigomurguia3168]

I love your shirt. I knew every one except for Voltron (it wasn't my favorite).

[@lukew9396]

so looking forward to this release. feels like they went back to basics. i know the lebron 19s have their fans and that's cool, but the line has felt a little overdesigned to me lately. these are great.

[@arlubas]

The 15s and the 17s were actually great and not super crazy design wise

[@lukew9396]

@@arlubas for sure, these feel like a direct play on a lot of those same elements too

[@trumpet1604]

The 1st Lebron was Air Zoom Generation had the carbon fibre shank So this shoe is going to be fire 🔥

[@verseone]

followed by lebron 3 models.

[@ryuixyui]

Lebron 19 is better. This doesn't look like an expensive shoe.

[@ognewwavy]

They definitely resemble the Kobe 6 and 7. Lebron low19 is probably the greatest indoor workout shoe I’ve ever put on my foot, so I’m definitely going to cop a pair of these to see how they feel. I ended up with 3 pairs of 19’s, they were made so much better than any workout or hoop shoe I’ve ever had. People don’t give Lebron the credit he deserves for how well his shoes are made.

[@triniboy05]

First LeBrons I’m interested in purchasing for casual wear. Thanks for the review ✊🏿

[@minjikwak3277]

The last lebron I bought was the 16 and on the jump logo you could see that he was actually wearing the 16 which was really cool. Looks like he's wearing the 20 on this one!

[@LikeTheChile]

Looking at this lebron 20, I can't help but feel like lebron deviated from the large air bubbles & 'battle knit' , since bronny loves to hoop in kobes. This was his effort to create a show similar to kobes to fit his sons' play styles.

[@NPFfumbi]

Who knows. Maybe his son helped him design it

[@randy7425]

Battle knit was amazing

[@Kkorkykatt]

Hey Chris, just a quick heads up: the Nike sphere material inside the shoe is a material that has been used primarily in high end Nike tennis shirts-it has little sphere patterns in the weave, it helps with the evaporation of sweat, so maybe that why they have used that material in the LBs - i have a couple of Nike Sphere tennis shirts from early 2000s , yep Nike gear from those days was made properly, not like the modern day cr*p. 'The more you know brother', keep those excellent vids coming :)

[@youngsmeezy1]

I'm a fan of lebron sneakers 1st & foremost. I like how this pair looks as opposed to the conventional lebron-ish sneakers that come off a bit bulky and animated but smooth at the same time aesthetic. These have more of a subtle approach that I can appreciate in a basketball shoe. No huge air bubbles, straps etc. Just simplicity at it's best. I like these a lot, can't wait to see what other color ways they're going to do. Thanks Nightwing for bringing us the heat as usual. Keep inspiring bro!

[@chrisperry370]

Literally LOL 5-10x per video on these edits brother... absolute top reviewer on youtube... or ANYWHERE

[@mlingafelt]

These are the first Lebrons I've ever looked twice at. Ended up hitting on Snkrs today for the Time Machines. Excited

[@jcampbe31]

Nike used that Sphere technology on the sock liner in the Lebron AZG and Zoom Lebron 2. Very comfortable. Big Kobe shoe guy here, so these have my attention.

[@steveshen3437]

Nike Sphere was used in the Air Zoom Generation's collar. That tech spec name was also used in a lot of Nike performance clothing back in the early 2000's kind of like Dryfit or Pro Combat.

[@15six37]

I'm glad you feel like it's more of a Kobe model instead of an Ambassador model. I would hate to pay $200+USD for a take down model.

[@dustinsybrant7972]

They are the best of looking Lebron's we've seen in awhile.

[@albertoambriz5496]

Cleanest Lebron model 🔥🔥 i want the pink colorway tho

[@9jason]

They are beautiful, and they seem to be top-tier performers. Gotta scrape up some to grab these!

[@zuluone6752]

The 19s held up pretty well during game play and the 20s are more my style for a casual shoe…I will wait on a different color way…

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Finally a LeBron I can wear casually after I'm done hooping in them.

[@magicmik3]

Nike Sphere is an older tech they used in the lining for the Zoom Generation and LeBron 2 maybe even 3? Was supposed to be just a lighter weight, but still padded moisture wicking material if I remember correctly.

[@edrickbondoc7387]

Nike sphere was used on the original lebron 1, air zoom generation. Super comfy 👍

[@jonbrodes1290]

my fav Lebron is probably 2. super pumped for retro. you the man!

[@ATR20pR]

I agree with you 100% bro and I can’t wait till they come out so I can buy them

[@pouringblue7]

I'd have to wait to actually wear them before I make a full assessment, butt as far as looks goes this is one of the best lebron models! Can't wait for mine!

[@BuddhaKING86]

The sphere sock liner is a throw back to the air zoom generation! Bringing everything together again!

[@borklesnar8412]

Picked these up on finish line last week, super excited to try them out on court! Awesome review as always!

[@adamcummings9799]

These are so fire finally a Lebron we can wear on and off the court I’m really excited for these

[@ltsAero]

I really want the pink color way but these are fire too. Best Lebron in a minute imo.

[@djamz1]

The first sighting of this silhouette I thought it was the new Ambassador. This is total unexpected of a Lebron signature shoe.

[@DanielMartinez-fu3pb]

By the far the best looking Bron in a while. Thanks guys and keep grinding!!!

[@sebacmk24]

I dont have money for this Lebrons right now but I will get them no matter what or how!! Love them!!

[@allensmith9879]

Yay, thank God🙏 they are back to the knit. Last year's upper material had no business being on a $200 shoe.

[@dmarr4941]

These look comfortable. Hopefully they are great performers. Thanks NW and the WT team.

[@bxb7603]

That Michael B.Jordan "it's beautiful" was hilarious.

[@Gump-tion]

These are nice, they're like advanced Kobe's. I'm glad Nike toned his shoe done. I'm copping. Whats the release date?

[@mauricehorton9424]

These are fire. I’ve never like any of his shoes & I’m a huge fan. I’m gonna cop.

[@andrewevans5582]

LeBron 20!!! Ima cop

[@SPMNDK89]

The 15, 16, 17 were all good in my opinion. There traction and court feel issues on all three but I mean it's a Lebron model so what do you expect? The tongue on the 18 killed it for me and the 19, I didn't even bother, it just look overdesigned without function.

[@ClintonLeach]

Yes lord i was waiting to see these in your hands i’m holding out on everything else until the bred colorway drop

[@chordychord2151]

These are the best looking Lebron's period. Going to cop.

[@christopherrevilla6478]

Looks great! A big 180 for the Lebron signature line. The Lebron 19’s are currently on sale for cheap on Nike website !

[@christopherchin8438]

Nike Sphere is actually from the early 2000s. It's sweat wicking tech w/ cutout circles that they also used in clothing/apparel. The Lebron 1 and 2 had nike sphere. Not sure if the retros do tho

[@NutnFancy21]

The LeBron IIs had that sphere tech on the inside lining. One of my fav features ever

[@Kevvtalk]

These are a must . Bron channeled his inner Kobe on this design and can’t nobody tell me different.

[@michaelanthony5855]

Yo Chris did you see yourself on Untold: the rise and fall of AND1?

[@davenisnotnice]

Cant wait for the weartesters review but man how I wish you can performance review once in a while.💯 All love! come back to PH soon! 🇵🇭

[@s1g]

They had the Nike Sphere lining on the Lebron 2s. It’s like Dri-fit for your feet

[@variandavid377]

Agreed…best looking Lebron in a long time…maybe ever. Not sure the tech specs warrant the price tag especially if the past 2-3 models had more in them and cost less? However…love the Kobe-squeeze set up. I wonder if the upper is a different type of knit? Also…nike sphere is usually found in their Therma-fit apparel, but this application might be more similar to the Nike Torch stuff found in the Kobes? 🤷🏽‍♂️ Looking forward to the performance review!! 👐🏽🤓

[@WalkwithJ4]

Finally a Bron that casually looks awesome. The 19 lows were cool also but Brons haven’t been a thing casually since the 12

[@OTMjames]

On Top of my head, I think the Lebron 9 was the last one with a carbon fiber shank, which is my favorite Lebron of all time. Coming in 2nd the 20-5-5s. Nike Sphere is a old Nike tech back in 03-05 when I was working at NTSF. It is supposed to provide breathability while less contact between skin and material.

[@delloeormacz8042]

This will be the most comfortable lebron shoes, maybe the simplest but i like it the most

[@Neonneonneonmax]

Cushlon in, IIRC, its first implementation was the Vomero 1. And that shoe was MARSHMALLOW as hell, the two Zoom units in it aside. The cushion was absolutely bonkers. So much so that they toned it down for the Vomero 2. So I agree that it’s slept on when it’s implemented right. Really sad I missed the shock drop on these.

[@LuvAndNotH8]

You earned my like just for the 80’s cartoons. But these Lebrons are fire. Kobe/Kyrie-esque

[@francisravi7651]

Now this is a shoe that deserves a higher retail price. It actually took them time and effort to construct it with that quality and all those details.

[@natedogg8648]

Man stop it these shoes are trash they basically some basic Nike shoes with lebron name on them these are the worst lebron shoes ever this was a LAZY design what’s so special a plain pair of Nikes don’t get the hype Around this 🗑️ shoe

[@gsprmtys]

With the Kawsesque XX on the tongue and lace dubrae the $200 tag isn’t that bad. A LeBron shoe with Kobe silhouette + hints of Jordans and the Kaws XX this is a great sneaker, I’ll buy for casual.

[@jmoney4220]

I haven’t been this excited about a Lebron since.. forever

[@ThaTGanGTV]

Speaking of outlets I got the hyper royal and trinity colorways at 2 different stores.I got so lucky the hyper royal pair I got for $75 and trinity for $106.i think this is lebron’s best shoe so far hands down

[@SreySongz]

So happy to see a huge step away from the design language of the 19. These can pull off as a lifestyle shoe for me. Much more subtle and clean as compared to the 19 which was a bit too bold in design in my opinion.

[@antoniostewart8716]

Best looking Lebron to wear of court since 8 lows

[@zachkeck6683]

I really like that box and tech breakdown - seriously sells me on it

[@AznStylezYT]

Lebron 9 PS was the last time i remember them using a carbon shank

[@chubbywoo]

Sphere lining was on the Lebron 2s. It was great

[@davefinnigan8385]

I’m old but been sneaker people for quite some time I hope these kicks are wide enough for me. Giddy up

[@cerickja]

This is the best looking lebron since the Zoom Generation 1. I can't wait for these

[@Tapeworm99]

Nike needs to get their prices situated definitely gonna be able to get these 6 months from now at the outlet store for 160, they look amazing tho.

[@MrJacinto0512]

Okay, but what the hell are the LeBron 20 Low's gonna look like? Mules???

[@MrThisguy200]

These look dope! I hope the Nike ID options aren’t limited cause the right combo will have these right.

[@chilly5155]

i hope they bring back LeBron iD for these, so much potential for fire customs

[@gregfulton2539]

Nice take, like the double swoosh, overall design, mesh, etc. As a high topper, still loving to play, etc. in my (3 pair) of 17s, but the 20 is the first since that got me excited, thanks.

[@shermanfarley4862]

Man I miss the 80’s being a kid in the 80’s was awesome for me.

[@dustinblock4053]

These are sick! By far the best shoe in his library so far

[@star42]

Finally a pair of Lebron I can see myself wesring casually. Good job Nike!

[@SShaBazzz]

Yo, these Lebron 20s are banging. Finally, a nice looking Lebron shoes after so many years.

[@GreekSneakCollector]

The Kobest of the Lebrons ever! The slimmest and the cleanest Lebron of all!

[@SangsooHong1]

I expect the day I would meet it at an Outlet with 50% discount!

[@a_wil_2_pinoy]

Shoe looks great! But that shirt is AMAZING!

[@SKETCHunlimited25]

If i remember right Jordan used that sphere material in the collar/leash of the Jordan 20

[@WearTesters]

Wow, good catch. Think you’re right.

[@4747da]

this is might be an and of an era, honestly. the LeBrons were the always carrying the torch for those classic, high tops, heavily cushioned, 90's style basketball shoes. now they've gone in a totally different direction, basically admitting defeat to the low, close to the ground, lighter shoes.

[@geraldron13]

“Kobe level” The Shaaaadeee 🔥🔥
