NIKE Boy's Force 1 (Ps) Basketball Shoes

Product Information

Granted, neither situations were severe sprains and I was ready to go back on the court the same day. The lightweight, reinforced mesh upper holds the foot perfectly in place, from the lacing that locks the forefoot to the molded outer elements that ensure a perfect heel hold. For this iteration of the LeBron Witness, we swapped out Zoom Air for visible Max Air cushioning—LeBron's favorite—to help dissipate impact forces and provide a responsive sensation. Of course, it’s not the MOST durable upper you can get today as there are much thicker and better-structured builds for the likes of athletic high-flyers, 7-foot big men, or 260 lbs attackers built like tanks. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

No surprises here – outdoor players who are looking to get a cost-effective shoe for a long time should definitely consider this one. For this iteration of the LeBron Witness, we swapped out Zoom Air for visible Max Air cushioning—LeBron's favorite—to give you cushioning and provide a responsive sensation. A minimalist upper design and a more cushioned sole unit are key to delivering new sensations and improved on-court performance.

The upper, particularly the forefoot, actually started off a bit stiff as each linear motion that caused the shoe’s flex point to bend caused some discomfort.

I’ve also got a tall midfoot bone which is why these fit me pretty much perfect right from the start.

Lightweight open mesh serves as the base layer and nylon cables run all the way throughout the upper on top of the mesh for added strength. I hooped on a rubberized court which is even softer than your classic hardwood, so shoes that don’t have good base bite usually don’t perform too well over there.

This high-top pair comes with a Flyknit upper and stands out thanks to the white Swoosh on the sides. More than 20 years later, we have a cheaper shoe that has a near-full-length Air Sole unit and great support features. Bouncy, Responsive Sensation Max Air cushioning gives you a bouncy, responsive sensation when you pivot, cut and jump.

The lightweight reinforced mesh upper holds the foot perfectly, from the lacing that locks the forefoot to the molded outer elements that provide a perfect heel hold. The forefoot is where things got a little more roomy than usual, and while I greatly appreciate such nuance for my wide feet, hoopers with a more narrow foot or those who are more accustomed to a one-to-one fitting formula might find these a little ways from ideal.The TPU outer elements in the heel provide lateral stability to better control and direct your force. External TPU pieces along the heel provide side-to-side stability and help harness and direct your force. Such a deep pattern might easily attract a lot of nasty stuff inside but since the grooves are so deep, it barely affects the traction.

However, the Witness 6 definitely offered a cool ride as there’s a good amount of airflow due to this open design.

It could’ve been a very decent shoe but now, all that’s left is a pretty silhuette for casual wear, an option quick shootarounds with your pals, or if you’re a linear-dominant player that doesn’t play at a high pace, you might just be able to get away with it. These include cookies that allow you to be remembered as you explore the site within a single session or, if you request, from session to session. For this version, we've replaced the Zoom Air unit with visible Max Air cushioning, LeBron's favorite, to absorb the power of shocks and deliver optimum responsiveness. I also regularly clean out my outsoles almost after every session, and that helps with preserving almost out-of-the-box traction every time I step on the court. The shoe utilizes a large Air Max unit as the main component of the cushion along with a traditional foam midsole (likely Phylon) to accompany the rest of the ride.
