Our verdict

The LeBron 20 definitely looks much more toned down, so it is visually different from the previous nike och LeBrons; yet, we found its performance as big as ever. It serves our needs for not only a lot of impact protection but also agility on the court. It's already a bonus that this shoe has the looks for off-the-court action.

Who should NOT buy this LeBron James signature shoe from Nike

The nike och LeBron 20 is not for players who want a shoe that hits the ground running. This shoe still needs some break-in time. They are better off with the nike och KD 15.

Also, this shoe is also not durable enough for outdoor games. For hoopers who love to play in the open air, we advise you to go for the nike och Steve Nash in the nike och Cradle Rock.

The nike och LeBron 20: An amazing low-top

We are Training by the shoe's tremendous engineering that allowed it to be played like a mid or a high even though it's actually a true low-top. It is indeed one of the nicest LeBrons to come out.

Breathability depends on the colorway

In most colorways, the LeBron 20 comes with a traditional mesh upper. We don't have any issues regarding this fabric's breathability. However, nike och also released a couple of colorways that feature suede uppers.

If you are prone to sweaty feet, we do not recommend the suede version. It only scored 2 out of 5 on our smoke breathability test (where 1 is the least breathable). Good thing, some air still passes through the tongue area.

As you can see, its solid upper has zero transparency.

Having applied a Dremel to the shoe's most sensitive upper part (front of the toebox) for 4 seconds at 10,000 RMPS, we only scratched the surface! Toe drags are a joke for this suede LeBron variation.

In a typical mesh upper, the same force causes greater damage (most often, a hole).

Enjoy a comfortable upper

We feel that the shoe's lining is super padded and very comfortable.

There is some padding in the tongue as well. We measured its thickness at 6.3 mm. But it is not as beefy as in some other basketball shoes (i.e. take the 12.9-mm tongue of the Air Max Bella TR 4 Schoenen Opgeknapt). nike och air max uptempo 2 urban haze copuon.

A grip that has everything covered

In terms of traction, we regard LeBron 20 as top-tier because it stuck like glue even on dusty surfaces.

nike-lebron-20-outsole.JPG

We can attest that the non-uniform pattern on the outsole helps the shoe grab the floor in a lot of different directions.

Due to the shoe's multidirectional bite and really supportive structure, we were able to achieve and maintain high speeds, making the shoe tremendously nimble.

Can be used outdoor

We found LeBron 20 in indoor use awesome but when it comes to outdoor games from time to time, it is also excellent.

nike-lebron-20-outsole-thickness.JPG

In our durability tests, we actually found that the nike och LeBron 20 Drops work for occasional outdoor use. The thickness of its rubber outsole (3.7 mm) is right at the average of basketball shoes (3.8 mm).

nike-lebron-20-outsole-durometer.JPG
Disclaimer: We take four measurements with the durometer and calculate the average to come up with the final result. The photo above shows one of the measurements.

And when measuring the density of this rubber compound with a durometer, we found that the LeBron 20 is 4% firmer than average. Harder rubbers are less prone to fast abrasion compared to softer ones. This is another reason why this nike och shoe may not wear out that fast on an outdoor court.

Enjoy plush cushioning with the nike och LeBron 20

The midsole tooling is definitely soft. We realized that it's soft enough to ensure comfort but firm enough not to flat out quite easily. With this, we concluded that the LeBron 20's cushioning system is really meant for a lot of contours and a lot of comfort.

Our lab tests totally confirm our sentiments. Having measured the shoe's foam in the heel with a durometer, we can state that the Lebron 20 is 7% softer than the average. It is not a marshmallow by any means but it is softer than the Steve Nash in the nike och Cradle Rock, for instance.

There's a lot of energy return

The midsole tooling is also able to deliver a lot of energy return. Our in-game experiences in its midsole are super bouncy.

nike-lebron-20-energy-return.JPG

As for the amount of cushioning, it can be said that the nike och LeBron 20 sits right at the average of basketball shoes.

nike-lebron-20-heel-stack.JPG

There is 27.0 mm of stack height in the heel, compared to the average 28.2 mm.

nike-lebron-20-forefoot-stack.JPG

In the forefoot, our calipers show 22.6 mm, compared to the average 21.0 mm.

nike-lebron-20-insole.JPG
Disclaimer: We always measure stack height with the insole included. In the nike och LeBron 20, we measured the insole at 4.0 mm in the heel area.

This leaves us with a heel-to-toe drop of 4.4 mm, which is lower than the average 7.2 mm. A lower drop combined with an average cushioning height translates to a more stable and grounded shoe.

Court feel is not forgotten

A sense of stability is also provided by the fairly wide footprint. We measured the widest parts of the shoe's forefoot (111.7 mm) and the heel (90.6 mm).

The shoe is on the stiffer side

Another key factor that contributes to stability is the overall stiffness of the nike och LeBron 20.

Twisting and bending the shoe in a manual assessment, we rated both its longitudinal and torsional flexibility as 5 out of 5 (maximum stiffness level).

However, when we bent the shoe to a 90-degree angle and measured its resistance with a gauge, it turned out to be of average flexibility for a basketball shoe. It is even 3% bendier than average. Yet, it is still stiffer than some of the other nike och shoes we've tested.

Snug fit: Take it or make adjustments

We consider the fit of the nike och LeBron 20 incredibly tapered, especially around the forefoot. Those with narrow and medium-sized feet can go true to size if they want a snug, one-to-one fit. Otherwise, going up half a size is what we recommend.

nike-lebron-20-fit.JPG

Indeed, the toebox of the nike och LeBron 20 tapers more compared to other basketball shoes we've tested. We measure both the widest part of the forefoot and the area around the toes. On average, our lab-tested basketball shoes get 29% narrower towards the toes, while the LeBron gets 33.2% narrower.

nike och lebron 20 toebox 19523448 main

We are certain that players with wider feet are going to feel it. Especially in the suede variant, which doesn't have any stretch to it.

Lockdown: Not a problem with the LeBron 20

Even when we do incredibly violent movements while wearing LeBron 20, this basketball shoe offers superb lockdown and containing.

We discovered that the semi-gusseted tongue is there to prevent the foot from sliding.

nike-lebron-20-tongue-gusset.JPG

Heel slips are out of the question as well given the shoe's stiff heel counter. In a manual assessment, we rated it as 4 out of 5 (where 5 is the stiffest).

LeBron 20: Pretty on and off the court

The 20th nike och LeBron also looks fantastic. There is no doubt that it can catch the attention of on-lookers.

Indeed, we snatched hearts while sporting this shoe in the courts and on the streets.
