@@wadec6799 very snug fit but awesome on court. I have a wide foot so if you’re the same try them on first or go half up.

I disagree with ratings on speed for the not translucent outsole they are a 4/5 (only the 20s and two wxy v3s were better in my experience) and comfort for me is easily a 5/5. the step in comfort and the soft materials make your feet feel like in a glove its a super comfortable shoe. Also durability is awesome played in them twice a week for 5 months now on indoor courts and they show no sign of wear. The top loaded zoom unit in the heel helps a lot with durability since they prevent the phylon base layer from bottoming out like in the 20s. You can tell the difference over time still both are great shoes, but for me the nxxt gen is more like a 34-35/40. Bounce is awesome on this shoe too, cant say the 20s are any better. ✌️

I agree. I play basketball outdoors all the time, they are very good. I twisted my ankle multiple times before, and these shoes really compforted my heel and ankle.

Quickly becoming one of my fav shoes to ball in. Light but sturdy and traction is prob the most standout feature. Comfort is good but time will tell if that holds or bottoms out. I do wish there were more colorways but decent start to this line.

sphere also allows the foam to move into negative space rather than compress into itself until it bottoms out. it allows a foam to feel softer and more conforming than if it were just a single solid chunk of material. I remember they did something similar on the Air Trainer SC 2010 reboot and it was great. Of course, it costs more to punch a bunch of holes in the foam before punching it through a die and shoving it in the upper, so the tech disappeared for about 10 years.

4:18 the heel in the NXXT is top loaded zoom as opposed to bottom loaded in the 20, that likely made more of a difference than the shank plate position as the zoom air's redistribution of energy is more focussed when bottom loaded

You should do a review of the Zoom Generation (Lebron 1) and do a side-by-side vs the 20, see how far the Lebron line has gone.

Definitely a good idea see the evolution of Nike sneakers technology

These are good shoes. Comfort, lockdown, and cushion are topnotch. Not the speediest shoe as Zach said but good enough. Issue is the outsole as some mentioned. Picked up tons of dirt and crap on the court where I kept sliding a few times and didn’t feel comfortable making fast cuts. You will have to constantly wipe clean or just play on clean courts. Real bummer but overall like them

This shoe legit fit like a glove for me, the traction of these shoes were sooooo insane I thought I had the best traction in the KD 14, but these topped them I loved everything about the NXXT, the KD14 for me was too much zoom, which is odd to say, but the NXXt is god tier, the traction was sticky, if I could only have one shoe to hoop in for the rest of my life it is this one, really hope they make some more colorways, because I will buy again.

I don’t really like the low low cut of 21s, never had the nxxtgen but they look higher up than the 20s I have

Dr Zach, I have flat and painful arches. Outflared feet with a 2E width. Painful heel too. What are your recommendations for everyday use and basketball(mostly indoor).

Great review Zach...I always come to your channel first when thinking of new hoop shoes. I'm thinking of these or the Jordan 37 lows. I love my 36's zoom air cushion in forefoot and heal for my old knees but looking for a low top. I need support and cushion. I play PF and love to rebound. Would you recommend these or the 37 low?

I got these and they play better for me than the 20s. The best shoe I've had in a hot minute

thanks for this review zach, was thinking of copping the faze clan edition and it sounds all really good but i prioritize traction and support over anything, traction needs to be a bit better for me but this was a great watch 👍 keep it up

The URS is phenominal! By far the best most objective system ive ever seen anywhere. Great job honestly!

Great in depth review! I sent my LeBron 20s back as I didn't feel they were a $200 shoe personally. They made my plantar fasciitis worse just walking around the house. But I will give these a try when they hit under MSRP.

Needed this vid! Ordered mine Friday and I can’t wait to hoop in em 🔥

Do you think it can be played outdoors? Sorry if you mentioned in video because I dont good at English so I can't understand full video

I have one, they felt like they were made for this generation of shooters. Non power house players like Vince Carter, MJ, and Garnet. It was built for comfort and playing longevity.

I bought these can’t wait to try them out I jumped on the LeBron 20 these seem like they will be solid for me ima bigger guy and the lebron 20s are amazing cause I love low tops

Love the content, Zach! 🙌🏻

My local outlets have them discounted so bought a pair to try. The heel area does not handle shocks well and it hurts my tendons. I think this review is very on point that it's not for someone with high arch and plantar faciitis. The stock insole is very minimal and I‘ll need to try a second time with orthotics. Glad I sized up half for that room.

I wear size 11 nike because the space in the toe length is right but in the next gen when i wear the size 11 my toes feel kinda snug and my toes kinda stick out on the side, is it too narrow for me?

The traction pattern is a literal map of Akron, lebrons hometown

I absolutely love the way shoes look. Asymmetrical designs have always been my favorite but you gotta be able to ball.

Midsole foam durometer test might be cool to add and factor in “plushness” or “dense” to comfort or as its own category?

Can u test the Adidas bouce legends please? 🇧🇷

Do you recommend to use in a outdoor court?

love the review Zach!

KD trey 5 have been my go to for the past couple weeks but unfortunately I caught a mean bruise on my heel as well as pain in my hip but I got these for 60$ on sale and i have to agree that shock absorption is phenomenal. Though I definitely feel the lack of stop and go compared to the treys but it’s been a good feel under feet. Not so much on the top of the ankle

Love the reviews. Question i'm hoping to get answered - As someone that plays a lot of padel i tend to watch your reviews regarding tennis shoes mostly, however the basketball shoes are intriguing because movements in padel require a lot of jumping and shuffling of feet in general, things basketball shoes do well. I often find the cushioning in basketball shoes good whilst lackluster in tennis/padel shoes. Is there no good way to integrate more cushioning into tennis shoes without losing stability? I'm sure there are drawbacks but the maximalist tennis shoe market must have it's place.

Is the upper material strength? Will the upper become loose after a few months of use? thank you

If the bounce height test measures a larger number, would it be safe to assume that the shoe actually has poor impact protection since the energy is reverberating back up your feet/legs? Where a shoe with better impact protection would theoretically measure smaller since the impact force is being absorbed and not returning the energy back? I could be totally off base here but would love to know your thoughts.

Sir Lebron NXXT vs Kd15. Which should I prefer?

Ive had them for a week and the bottom of the shoe is too hard causing me pain in achilies. Any tips? Or do i just need to wear them down a bit?

actually the technology and raw materials to make the nike spheres are somewhat premium. and i recommend that you should consider testing the shoes again after some usage because foam materials change hardness, ball rebound, etc. after usage. I work on these kind of materials btw so i know some things haha P.S. how did you do the lacing using the backmost eyelet? i wanna do that lacing haha

Question not heard in the video. Are they as tight and snug in the forefoot and front of the shoe as regular Lebron 20’s because those fit small fit too snug for me for sure even after 10-15 professional basketball practices.

Hey doctor what about a comparison between a high tier and entry tier shoe zoom air unit like a Jordan 37 against a Kyrie flytrap 6, bc in some cheaper models zoom units are barely noticeable compared to more expensive models

I'm about to get these the colorway sold me I have a big selection and you start going for tge wild stuff after a while it just has more character

What would you recommend for a point guard that need’s orthotics, because flat fleet.

Any way you can do some content on bottom vs top loaded shank plates? I bought the lebron 20 and the pg 6 for my bball shoe. I had to return the lebron 20 because of arch pain. Is it because of the shank plate system?

I'm 40 and have flat feet with a bunion on my left foot well on both but left foot more pronounced. I have the nxxt gens and on my left foot the shoe or maybe its my sock seam rides under my big toe no matter how many times you try to straighten the sock it goes that direction. It feels like a rock pebble or something on that side because of the snugness these shoes give. I'm getting used to it by now but it's something to consider. Right foot is fine and the shoe feels awesome on foot. Still love these shoes but I'm old school and to me the comfort is better in the 90's style toe boxes. They seem more forgiving. I have the Fila Mashburns and the Jordan 13's they work well for my feet

I found the nxxt is too easy to bend compare to the 20s. Isnt this bad for plantat faciitis?

Amazing review! Id love to see how the new harden 7s go!
