Nike LeBron 20 Performance Review

[@variandavid377]

For me…these are the first Lebrons in a long time that are really exciting. Really good to hear that the shoe performs as expected and possibly better.

[@amirridzuan1633]

not even 15? come on

[@PracticalPerry]

I agree.

[@damonlove8]

Lebron 16 are one of the Greats. I hate Leflop but his shoes are great.

[@petarcentrih4704]

Excited for these but at the same time saddened that LeBron line didn't get this design language earlier due to Nike using his line to show off over-the-top tech. He has evidently been dissatisfied with his main line for years.

[@corpyhogan4433]

In all honesty, the ambassador line has been better than his main line for a couple years now.

[@predkong9101]

11 was a very good hoop shoe.

[@jdrtaurus007]

Yeah sometimes less is more and Nike really did LeBron a disservice by trying to pack every single tech they discovered in his shoes. Making them bulky and big as hell.

[@skyward6878]

I agree these look great to hoop in but I always look forward to the Lebrons having all the crazy tech. I feel like there can be a happy medium. I think the Jordan line does a good job. The 34, 35, 36. Not so much with the current Jordan who shall not be named. 😂

[@nassiglutt6587]

@@jdrtaurus007 how... He's very much involved in the design of his shoes lol

[@kirbyaugustine761]

Who would’ve thought that when you concentrate on the basics rather than over the top tech you produce a solid basketball shoe.

[@paulauger1987]

Thanks!

[@Yikkikiki40]

Might be the best LeBron performer ever. I liked the bulkier, cushion-loaded ones but this is a nice little step on his line

[@DanielEndres-cu3tt]

Almost 2 years out, this is still my favorite hoop shoe. Durability turned out to be incredible and the performance has been fantastic.

[@SPMNDK89]

Yes they aren't a Kobe but the Kobe line literally started this back in 2008/9 with the Kobe 4. A decade+ later it still works. It proves Kobe's point, a low top shoe can work for basketball, his theory was that soccer players put way more torque and lateral force on their ankles when they play and yet cleats are all low cut so why can't basketball players do the same

[@SiriusV21]

Kobe got injured wearing them though didn’t he?

[@Everydaykaen]

Yeah

[@winter9242]

@@SiriusV21 what about it? Tens of players also get injured wearing mid and high tops

[@Apo_Ni_Baby_Kupal]

It has been debunked that mid and high tops protect your ankles. It is actually the heel counter that provides that locked down feel and protects ankles. Even Chris said it himself in one of his videos.

[@SiriusV21]

@@winter9242 So how did Kobe prove a low top works for basketball? Think there needs to be a study to compare which shoes players get injured in more before we can come to that conclusion.

[@masterdinosawr]

Nikes main strategy with these was to boost LeBron sales by making it look like a shoe that the market really wants (kobes).

[@tonyh5092]

Dang I usually only like it Chris does the performance reviews but you did a great job 👍🏼 Very good break down. Look forward to more vids from u.

[@riceislife6487]

chris stopped... Sadly of course

[@allen-wbli6733]

@@riceislife6487 why?

[@jchung1506]

Thanks for the review, Jackson. I am glad you pointed out that no basketball shoes are really worth $200 if you think about it. It’s how much you value them. I do not think you can value basketball shoes based on how nice the materials feel on hand anymore. Those days are gone. It’s all about how the shoes perform.

[@whiteboyrick680]

It's all about feel & performance. And performance doesn't have to mean strictly court. ...but, performance to and from on the daily.

[@dmarr4941]

Another great review. Thanks Jackson and the WT Team.

[@mosesjerico2191]

Love to support this channel. Even though it releases the vids on midnight here in the Philippines

[@0826man]

You are a GREAT reviewer. Keep it up man.

[@anthonyquinonez159]

Kobe 4/5 hybrid in my eyes. Kobe 4’s we’re kinda bulky but nimble in the heel to me and the front of the 6’s look more streamlined like the front of the 20’s. Should be getting mines in the mail this weekend. Can’t wait to try them out. Been hooping in the Kobe’s consistently since the OG 4’s.

[@marroliga639]

I was one of those guys that hooped in Vans up until I tried these. Absolutely amazing. I love them so much I have 2 colorways, Total Orange and Stocking Stuffers.

[@skyward6878]

This kid’s going places. Nice review. 🎉🎉

[@IncSpen]

I’ll say the 15s were significant in his line since the 10s

[@solarcentipede1749]

I really enjoy your performance reviews Jackson! Big thanks to you and the whole WT team.

[@jojowaterloo]

Lebron XX will definitely be shoe of the year. Its got everything today's players are looking for and the look is absolutely fire.

[@clipzz1815]

i reckon kd15

[@JohnSmith-bn7bl]

100%

[@zachkeck6683]

Killed it on yet another review, Jackson - great stuff

[@Binz0bang]

Was just watching the shorts on the Lebron 20 great timing haha!

[@michaelmarks9002]

Jackson does a great job. He was a good addition. Same with Leek

[@tristanvladimirjean-chavez3652]

Damn LeBron got 20 of these shoes already, seems like time passes by so fast

[@Snyke_]

Feels crazier when you think that he’s been in the league for 20 years

[@shankarthedunker]

That remark about reps at 8:16 really Killed my World 😉

[@gsprmtys]

My first LeBrons were the Zoom Soldier II, I loved those shoes, they were really like tanks. My last LeBrons were the VIIIs in the black & red (Miami) cw, they are still my no.1 favourites. After that I haven’t been really excited for any new LeBrons up until now… these 20s are beautiful, I’d wear them as a casual on street.

[@NTTHTXNa]

Nice voice my man! Very detailed review as well, thanks!

[@Malleus2010]

Lebron 15 was the best for us wide footers. Stayed at a 13, never had to go up a size.

[@Yikkikiki40]

Court feel is actually great. Only 22 mm high (heel). I feel like the name LeBron immediately makes you think bad court feel

[@darrylsimmons1582]

I appreciate the simplicity of the design. The 18 lows were nice too

[@shannondavis3338]

Great review Jackson, I feel these will sell out and not sit. They look good and preform good. The stability has always been an issue for me in LeBrons. These seem to have fixed that problem. I may have to give them a go.

[@schuylersavage276]

Ya I mean other than like 18 and size 8-9, they sold out in I think idk an hour?

[@nd8903]

Appreciate the review guys!

[@Flamethrower88]

My favorite lebrons are the 18s. I love the 10s but performance wise…18s are sooo good!!

[@DBraxton1996]

I was a big fan of the 12s performance wise

[@emoshki_1980]

I got em too, and i dont have anything to complain about too. Its not a really good deal for the perforcemence it has and the money it costs since they are 200$, but they are still LeBrons and are really comfortable and looking fire. Dont understand me wrong, they are great but they are not like kobe 6 though. Thank you for the review!

[@stringtheoryann]

Me watching performance reviews for a sneaker I will wear casually 😆😆

[@fezzard]

😂 Im watching and I’m not even going to buy it.

[@TradingCardsVN]

5:31. What does he mean "for keeping score at home..."

[@PracticalPerry]

I also have the Lebron 10 (Raspberry). I just bought the Lebron 20 and I replaced the insoles with Move Game Day Pro insoles. I had to go up a full size; I have slightly wide feet. Will try them out soon.

[@ralphtree03]

what is the title of the background music? great review Jackson!

[@Balachiang]

Will cop these bad boys when it hits outlet 🤝😎

[@EzdoesitPro]

thanks for the "Rep" info haha! most definitely didn't go unheard!

[@junkbball2]

Great review! Some other reviewers I watch have concerns about the cushlon being too soft resulting in possible ankle rolling, what are your thoughts?

[@WearTesters]

Cushlon has been used for over 10 years and there’s never been a concern for it before so not sure why it’d be an issue all of a sudden. The base here is wide too so it shouldn’t be an issue. 99% of ankle rolls come from some form of contact though, and 99% of those that roll their ankle blame whatever shoe they were wearing rather than the contact that caused it.

[@junkbball2]

@@WearTesters nice to have a second opinion, thanks

[@kicksjackson]

yeah, the cushion is more than stable enough. the support as a whole is great as long as you have the correct fit

[@freeatlast1810]

Forget about the shoes. Those two movie posters in the background 100%💪 👊

[@scordatura9259]

Great review man

[@cxshxnly7]

i really wanna know what is the song that's always playing in every weartesters videos at 1:07

[@mainsourcery]

Nike needs to just pump these out every year. Best hoop shoe in a long time.

[@lushawn5948]

For me, lebron 15 and 17 are still the best after the 1 - 10 run... These 20s are alright.

[@Marcelolenny]

The kicks are aight, waiting for that clearance or outlet release on these Lol but this video was awesome!! Thank you, WearTesters! 🙏❤️ 👟

[@corpyhogan4433]

LeBron, going to a low top, isn’t surprising to me. I’ve noticed the last few years he would wear the ambassador line over his main line of shoes.

[@jonathangraham7148]

I peeped that too

[@Ve9203]

Is it heavy to wear those? I'm planning to buy one.

[@carlocastelo6218]

I grew up watching Chris for shoe reviews, but this is my first performance review with you in it. Good job sir! I really dig the consideration you made that others may have reservations on the costs-to-performance ratio (if that's a legit term). Overall, you made the shoe worth looking into. Salute!

[@Miamimason]

Can u wear them strictly outdoors?

[@filipiino96793]

We need that wkb Kobe review

[@NorrinPlays]

first Lebron that i'm getting to actually play in! excited!

[@rodrxgo_]

I agree $200 is steep for a basketball shoe but then again you see people paying over $200 on some Jordan retro that still use tech from the 80s and 90s. At least with the Lebron 20s you’re getting the technology that most bball shoes have today.

[@rigview]

How about the Ep version of this colorway? Is it really good for outdoor?

[@GreekSneakCollector]

Finally, a well rounded and humanly Lebron!

[@halnorwood6978]

Just got some on sale, but they feel incredibly tight, really narrow. A size up would be too long. Not sure weather to just send back or try to break them in.

[@jameshill8234]

Love the look of this shoe 👟👟!! Hopefully I can get a pair.

[@t23random]

I don’t have easy access to indoor courts, so I m playing all these modern non-durable shoes outdoor. Also simply because I’m a sneakerhead, so every month I will be lured to buy another pair of something, so it’s better than letting them sit at home to disintegrate… fully intended to wear or play in all these expensive signature shoes.

[@iscomoura7610]

Pls answer me! I May have ordered Bron 20s a Little too small I have medium to wide feet with tailor bunions. And ive been preferring a more snug fit lately. My kobes are size 8.5s, but most of those are actually quite big for me. My AD at that size is way too big and i double sock. My 11 Em is an 8.5 and is a tad bit big but i think is one of my better fitting pairs. My 10 elite low tho at 8.5 is a Little snug but i can still hoop with 3 socks on. My latest cop before the Bron 20s is my J 13 back in 2020. At size 8 its actually quite spacious and big for me. So this leads me to my bron 20s which are otw. I ordered a size 8 since my last pair at 8 was pretty big. Most reviews said the shoes fit true to size but is a Little snug. Should i have gone a size up? I dont mind a snug fit. But it would be a waste of a good pair if its too tight. do they stretch after the break in period? Length wise?

[@RayJacksonYT]

How did this go for you? I’m a true to size 8 in Jordan’s. I also like a snug fit in basketball shoes like the Mb.01 and Mb.02. I bought two lebrons one in a size 8 and one in a 8.5. The size 8 is snugggg to the point where over time while sitting my foot started throbbing whereas the size 8.5 fit like a normal jordan but with a tad bit of space in the toe box. Did your size 8 break in over time?

[@jerebear6987]

Would you recommend these for wide feet?

[@1108hue]

Question, in terms of support which would you think is better the 19 lows or the 20s?

[@davidsoto6136]

The only problem for me right now is that there is heel slippage for me and there is a bit of dead space in the toe back and I went true to size. I do have the EP version as well.

[@yrahamaan]

How long will these last. Indoor use only?

[@sjukbasketball8498]

Mine are arriving wednesday, if they perform to standard, I’ll be doubling maybe even tripling up on these🎉

[@misham2563]

They are all sold old player but good luck possibly tripling up at $200 bucks a pair baller.

[@jaybanthony]

I love the design of this shoe. Will definitely get a pair when the price drops.

[@004toly]

How cool would it be if it was a High top like the Kobe 9/10s Elite

[@mariomosqueda4759]

Which basketball sneakers have premium materials? If the retros in general are not premium, Id like to know some examples of performance basketball with HQ materials for me and my son. Thnks Chris.

[@onur1243]

Very good review

[@lucapilu334]

I wear size 10 Air Force 1 and size 11 Kyrie Low 5. Which size of lebron 20 should I get?

[@cheeserteaser7915]

This is a great review! You and @sneakrtweakr are my two favorite reviewers!

[@itadorigin241]

is this okay for outdoors? here in phils we only have outdoor courts

[@D.WhiteJr]

How would you compare these to the Jordan 36 Low. I just got some and I love the cushion set up. Only nag I have is on hard lateral stops it feels like a tailer bunion pressure.

[@lmqs94]

I like these but I'm waiting for a better color way.

[@11simonjr]

Are these going to be mass produced or hard to get

[@RawBe3f]

Here in the Philippines, they're selling out so fast, local retail shops started doing raffles for these. I don't think they are going on sale here because they will all be gone

[@kingko3897]

These remind me of the LeBron 8 Low minus the full length Air Max unit.

[@Crimilion]

The Best LeBron🤴 They have a EP version of these in Nike App so its good to play outside

[@dreadlock17]

What shoes are on the lower left of the rack? The orange and red under armour?

[@manuellazatin670]

Is it good for outdoors?

[@Red_dragon637]

Got the lebrons but they were a bit big but thats leave’s space for when i grow

[@sebastiaanstokman2812]

I really want these shoes, but when are they gonna release in Europe? We had the Time Machine colorway, but it was sold out in 1 day and there haven’t been any restocks or other sizes since. I really hope Nike will release more of these in Europe soon, because in the states they already have 3 colorways… it frustrates me.

[@danielluong9480]

Great video. . No cat ❤ at the end? Or you didn’t want them to chew on $200 shoes ?😅

[@RockyC89]

This shoe gonna do numbers

[@Palmer-gs3wz]

Most basketball shoes come with 2 straps inside the shoe that holds your foot tight. What are those called? Trying to find shoes with out them.

[@Palmer-gs3wz]

Holds the side of your foot

[@n0t4u38]

i like that they are on the low side as i'm a short guy..what i don't like is the price.....

[@tobznoobs]

it may not have max air etc but those lebron 17s, the last lebron i had, i didn’t trust the traction and i played tentatively. same exact feeling Chris had when he reviewed it 3 years ago. if this has some of the tech from the zoom generation then yeah its bound to be good. zoom generation were probably my favorite lebron shoe. now the 20 and the 21 might take the cake

[@johnloisvinluan1223]

Hi i'm a size 7.5 in the Lebron 19 can I go with 7 US in the 20s?

[@Thomasguillerault]

The color ways and feel on these 😩

[@2kislife256]

I love the 20s but i didn't get my size. Gonna get lebron 2 retro instead.

[@dean4696]

Though its not something that should make a shoe an instant buy, that sphere tech is something I would like to see nike include on more releases. It was very akin to the ankle foam in one of my favorite training shoes of the era, The Air Trainer SC 2010. I of course had the LaDanian Tomlinson color way. It made the ankle padding feel very airy, yet not intrusive/restrictive. it was just there to facilitate you in really cranking down on the upper eyelets without needing to loosen up for relief half way through whatever you were doing.

[@ken.jiiiii]

Lebron XI is still the best in my books🔥🔥 especially that grafity colorway

[@mattwilbur8239]

Any idea when the all pink colorway Lebron wore in the Drew league will release?

[@michaelhenares2674]

Are these widely available in the states??? These are being botted and resold here in the ph.

[@RL-fd4jv]

Was hoping to cop these, but they sold out in seconds here in Europe... I hate Nike's business model so much.. And also why isn't nightwing doing performance reviews anymore?

[@WearTesters]

We answered your question previously and you chose to ignore it. Last try: kzbin.info/www/bejne/opaqmmajaZ6LpbM

I wanted to wait to get some but didn't wanna chance only being able to get some crazy color ones, as of now only other ones I like besides the debuts is the time machines but I don't wear much loud colors so I'll wait and hope they get some in all BLK or BLK and white

[@mok.5531]

Do you know the Release Date of the Nike LeBron 20

[@yaxing007]

Everything sounds good on paper. But one thing that makes these unplayable is the lack of heel support and how soft it is around the heel. You will 100% roll ur ankle playing in these.

nope, support is great. and not just on paper, because i actually play in my shoes.
