Our verdict

In our opinion, up to a certain extent, the LeBron Witness 7 is practically just the nike roshe run glitter and pink roses blue fabric but less pricey and more suitable for outdoor use. From aspects that are truly important such as traction and cushioning down to matters that are only peripherally valuable such as looks, we found that the LeBron Witness 7 delivers.

Players, especially the more agile ones, who love to get a lot of ground feedback may find that the LeBron Witness 7 sits way too high off the ground. For them, we recommend the nike torch mens sl gray with black dress shoes - nike air force 1 wolf grey womens.

Being a more affordable option, the LeBron Witness compromised its upper durability. But we've seen even cheaper hoop shoes that did better with abrasion resistance like the nike kobe 10 fundamentals for sale free and the nike air max fall leopard shoes girls sneakers.

Breathability

The nike air max white online shop beats breathability records among our lab-tested basketball shoes!

Featuring soft materials, the shoe's upper allowed a good deal of smoke to pass through in our smoke-pumping test. Not only did the smoke get through the tongue and eyelets, but also seeped through the toebox itself. That rarely happens in hoop shoes.

Looking at the toebox fabric through a microscope, we can see that it is tightly woven and yet much more porous than most upper materials.

Durability

Toebox durability

But there is a big downside to all that airy softness. It's a total lack of wear resistance.

The toebox material failed to hold up to our 12-second Dremel test which resulted in a large see-through tear. On a 1-5 scale where 5 is the most durable, we rated the shoe as low as 1. 

For comparison, the woven upper of the nike sonic flight yellow retro did significantly better in the same conditions. But to be fair, it also costs $65 more than the Witness 7.

The shoe's plush and cozy heel padding performed just as badly. After only 4 seconds of holding the Dremel against it, we saw considerable wear.

We had to rate this Nike shoe with yet another low score - 1 out of 5.

Outsole hardness

Fortunately, the shoe comes back strong in the outsole. This must be the toughest part of the nike air max white online shop.

Using a durometer to check its rubber hardness, we found that it is a head taller than most basketball shoes on our list.

nike lebron witness 7 outsole hardness 20237317 720

With a reading of 85.8 HC, it is notably harder than average! And that always implies a more hard-wearing outsole.

Outsole thickness

The amount of rubber used for the outsole is also quite substantial. We measured it at 4.1 mm which is a solid thickness for a $100 shoe.

Based on its hardness and thickness as well as performance on the court, we can wholeheartedly recommend the Nike nike air max white online shop for outdoor play. That also includes the most abrasive concrete courts.

Weight

Given that the average weight of nike sb brown online store hours today christmas hovers around 14.3 oz (406g), the nike air max white online shop is among the lightest in the series. But it's not the lightest compared to other brands.

Tipping the scales at 13.7 oz (387g), the shoe weighs the same as the average of all our lab-tested hoop shoes.

Cushioning

Heel stack

It's pretty impressive that this Nike shoe keeps the weight low despite its massive stack height.

We used a caliper to measure the shoe's heel height and it returned a whopping 34.1 mm! This is by far the tallest shoe in our catalog! This is primarily due to the large Max Air unit embedded into the midsole.

On the court, this Lebron Witness shoe offers top-notch impact protection. All the shock coming from our aggressive heel strikes and harsh landings was sufficiently absorbed, leaving our feet and legs free from pain all throughout the playtest.

The shoe's forefoot is just as generously cushioned. With a caliper measurement of 25.2 mm, this Lebron shoe is a few millimeters taller than average.

Drop

It also turns out that the LeBron Witness 7 has a higher-than-average drop of 9 mm. This is a couple of millimeters higher than the average 7 mm.

The Max Air unit elevates the heel a little more to maximize protection for those heel-dominant strikes. Just like all LeBron shoes, it makes for an excellent option for centers.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

The primary cushioning foam of the LeBron Witness 7 feels a little of the firm side. Our durometer shows a reading of 30.3 HA, which is 9% firmer than average.

We found that the firm nature of foam helps to make the platform more stable in lieu of its tall stack height.

On the other hand, the foam layer underneath the Max Air unit is very plush. It creates space for bounce by being extra squishy.

We measured the foam to be as soft as 14.1 HA! That's a whole 115% plusher than the primary cushioning. As a result, the shoe feels perfectly balanced underfoot.

Stability

dallas cowboys 2018 nike shoes 2017 price guide

Nike made sure to throw a whole bunch of supportive overlays onto the shoe to really level up its stability.

Overall, we think that the brand succeeded. But if you are an agile and super shifty player, you may want more support around the forefoot. We found that the material was a little too soft to hold the foot in place.

For a firmer foothold, consider the LeBron NXXT GEN.

Torsional rigidity

The platform is rock-solid in the LeBron Witness 7. Attempting to twist the shoe with our hands revealed that it is exceptionally stiff. We rated its torsional rigidity with the highest score of 5/5.

According to Nike, it's the Max Air unit that's responsible for the shoe's lateral stability and it also "helps harness and direct your force."

Midsole width in the forefoot

The shoe's base is not the widest out there but it does its job well. However, if you are someone who relies heavily on those outriggers on the side, this is not the right shoe.

Measuring the widest part of the forefoot, we got 110.5 mm - a little narrower than average.

Flexibility

Stiffness

When it comes to the shoe's stiffness, the LeBron Witness 7 is not that much different from the rest of our tested basketball shoes.

It took about as much force to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle as it takes on average. Our force gauge shows that it required 38.8N, only 8% less than the average.

Tongue: gusset type

Given the shoe's budget-friendly price point, a gusseted tongue is not to be expected here. But the standard non-attached tongue of the Witness 7 is still doing a pretty good job of staying in place and holding the foot.
