Who should NOT buy

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 flex Kobe 9 EM PRM Gym Red 652908 606 - a little pricier but has a perfect balance of impact protection and court feel.

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 Женские кроссовки nike flex air max 720 pink and the nike flex Air Max 90 Reverse Duck Camo 2020.

Cushioning

Heel stack

It's pretty impressive that this nike flex 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.

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 Trail 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

zhenskie krossovki nike flex kaishi 2 0 chernyj belyj logotip | Lateral stability test

nike flex 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 - 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 Trail 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.

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.

Weight

Given that the average weight of LeBron basketball shoes hovers around 14.3 oz (406g), the in the nike flex Cortez Black White 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.

Breathability

The in the nike flex Cortez Black White 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.

The shoe gets a high score of 4 out of 5 for breathability.

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. 

nike flex Zoom Double Stacked Smoke Grey W zhenskie krossovki nike flex kaishi 2 0 chernyj belyj logotip did significantly better in the same conditions. But to be fair, it also costs $65 more than the Witness 7.

Outsole hardness

Fortunately, the shoe comes back strong in the outsole. This must be the toughest part of the in the nike flex Cortez Black White.

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

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

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.

Grip / Traction

Tongue padding

The tongue is sufficiently padded on this LeBron shoe. Based on our caliper measurement, it is 9 mm thick. About the same as the average.
