NIKE Boy's Force 1 (Ps) Basketball Shoes

Product Information

This is the most critical area for hoopers as we need to ensure the elevation created from the cushion is as stable as possible to prevent awkward foot plants or ankle rolls. This is about as good as it gets for those who are primarily outdoor hoopers and looking to get the most bang for their buck. Lateral stability can be terrible at times, to the point where it can be dangerous to intensively play in these.

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. For those in a hurry: the LeBron Witness 6 from Nike might just look like a further improvement from last year’s model but it’s more than that. 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.The lightweight, reinforced mesh upper keeps you contained all around, from the webbing that harnesses your forefoot to the external molded pieces that lock in your heel.

The lateral portion of the shoe’s Air Max cushion is exposed, causing it to overcompress upon a more akward foot plant and make the shoe roll outwards.However, the Witness 6 definitely offered a cool ride as there’s a good amount of airflow due to this open design.

The molded foam midsole is lightweight and resilient, making it easy to transition from heel to toe. There’s a bit of padding on the seriously large tongues of the shoes and the ankle area isn’t padded that much. We had a lot of guys in the gym on that particular day of initial testing, so we started a 5v5 match with me thinking about how subpar this traction is.
