Nike Lebron 20 Review
Pros:
Bouncy cushion setup
Tacky traction compound
Cons:
Not much court feel
High price tag
Performance of the Nike Lebron 20:
The traction on the LeBron 20 is tacky, and it grips most court surfaces. The occasional wipe is needed, but it doesn't hinder performance.
Nike toned the cushioning down from previous models, but it's still insanely bouncy.
The materials are comfortable, thin, and breathable on foot. It also helps to keep you contained during play.
On fit, some reviewers praised the LeBron 20 for its snug, 1-to-1 fit. Other reviewers had split opinions on how the shoe accommodates wide footers.
The lacing and materials work together to keep your foot contained on the footbed. Reviewers didn't have any complaints when it came to the support of the shoe.
Overall, the Nike LeBron 20 is an impressive all-around performer. The traction, cushioning, and support are versatile enough to offer something to most players.

As a preface I’ve never liked Lebron’s. Excellent traction - court I play on isn’t the best kept yet these were SUPER grippY right out of the box. I prefer limited cushioning for more court feel and stability- I’d say XXs are a good mix of these attributes while still v comfortable. The forefoot has excellent court feel while the heel feels a little bouncier (I’m assuming this has to do with Nike Air) - I could live without this feature, but it’s popular. Materials feel excellent and durable.

I'm gonna get straight into it..., The LeBron 20 is the best shoe in Lebron's line. It has amazing Traction and Is extremely Comfortable. The Cushioning might seem to soft at first. But once broken in it's a 10/10 like everything else on the shoe

Honestly the best shoe I've ever played in, and i have played in many other fenomenal shoes like the kd 14 and kd 15 and also alot of different Kyries, PGs and Jordans. I think that alone speaks for itself.
Amazing shoe!

Nike uses tech they call Sphere in the heel section of the shoe. It helps secure the ankle area. The lateral containment and stability are solid.
