Visible Max Air cushioning is pressurized to 20 psi, helping to dissipate the hard forces of impact and give you a bouncy, responsive sensation. It seems that the pressure from the laces goes right through the thin tongue and my tall midfoot bone is there to soak it all in.

Definitely not a low-profile setup here, so shifty guards or quick shooters might not find this ride optimal. The molded foam midsole is lightweight and resilient, making it easy to transition from heel to toe. Lateral stability can be terrible at times, to the point where it can be dangerous to intensively play in these. Now, I feel like it doesn’t make sense to recommend the shoe to anyone because of the dangers associated.

External TPU pieces along the heel provide side-to-side stability and help harness and direct your force.

The Nike LeBron Witness 6 is LeBron James’ budget model that doesn’t even feel all that budgety, in fact it is one of the best budget models of 2021. This shoe is slightly bulkier, so is a great post player option, but could be a good option for a guard too.

I feel like Nikey was aware of this and threw everything else they got support-wise (for the budget they had to work with of course). 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. No surprises here – outdoor players who are looking to get a cost-effective shoe for a long time should definitely consider this one. Bouncy, Responsive Sensation Max Air cushioning gives you a bouncy, responsive sensation when you pivot, cut and jump. I did feel some pressure on the lateral portions of the forefoot though, particularly where the foam of the midsole comes up to the material.

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. The rubber is also thick and hard, so all of this immediately tells you it’s a cheaper Nikey shoe built primarily for outdoors. However, the Witness 6 definitely offered a cool ride as there’s a good amount of airflow due to this open design.
