It's not that safe if the lateral support extends that much. It is better the lateral support part is extended rather than depending on knit. This is prone to breaking ankles
I was pacing backwards in a scrimmage in the Lebron 18 lows and the airmax part cushioned a lot and I fell backward. But otherwise the cushioning is pretty good
Correct me If I'm wrong but the Lebron's are built for Lebron. From the way he plays to his size and weight. So if you are big guy, heavy and doesn't depend too much on speed and lateral movement then these are perfect. But if you are a smaller guy with a play style like Curry, Kyrie, Westbrook or Dame then pick one of their shoes. It will be more suited for you.
Just got some of these new for $80. The only complaint I have is that the tongue scratches the shit out of my leg if I’m not wearing crew socks. Besides that, they’re great for casual wear so far. Haven’t played in em yet.
@@Slidefortrav i like the 15,16, and 17 more. Something about the look of the 18 is off-putting to me. I will say, I'm sure its a beast for comfort and impact protection though. That is what i love about Lebrons.
@@luhhhza3yy221 not really good for side to side movements. Good for running up and down but feels like you can roll your ankle with lots of lateral movements.

Very nice review finally a review who doesn’t start his review with the lame cliche phrase “Whats good UA-cam it’s ya boy”... very insightful and honest review of the shoe! Just subscribed!
Lebron 16s my favourite shoe super comfy and gives a boost in high with the bubble heel and I see a much better virt in my jump compared to Kyrie and PG
@@rose4ever405 volleyball needs a lot more lateral movement of you recommend it he's going to twist his ankle. Get some wide shoes with great cushion like KD14 or Wade All City 9
Hmm that whole bit about his foot moving around on the footbed is kinda concerning. Maybe I’ll check out the low-I usually prioritize stability above most features.
ventilation is one of the most important things to talk about in a shoe review ive had shoes that get so hot that my feet literally feel like they are burning
These aren’t really true to size fit. I am usually a size 10 or 10 1/2 and I got a 10 1/2 I wore them for a month and they haven’t stretched. Get a 11 if you have a foot size like mine
You should try sliding in a Nike elbow pad/sleeve on the tounge like the ones Jordan and Kobe used to wear. I tried it recently and it adds a lot of padding on the tounge area
I got a pair of these and the first day I wore them to school the middle air bubble on the tongue popped so that’s not good like to be fair it was a rough use but still they should be more durable there
nice video whoever design this shoe tongue is not a everyday hooper I love the shoe accept the tongue make me wonder if they push design over comfort im thinking about custom the tongue or cut it off I think they messed up the shoe by t not thinking about tongue comfort
Unless you're a bigger guy like Lebron, these seem to be better suited as a premium tennis shoe more than a basketball shoe - especially if used outdoors. S tier casual shoe, more like a C tier actual ball shoe
How is the fit of the shoe? I ordered my correct size in the 17s but I should have gotten a half size bigger because it is a really snug fit. Are these similar?
For me, The Outsole bubble has been fine but the Tongue bubbles no joke cracked/deflated after like a month of use (maybe worn 4 times), I’ve hear so many ppl complain about the same issue too
@@RedRashBallz i bought KD & I wouldn’t recommend it to people with wide feet, It is not comfortable as Kyrie’s does. I’m planning to buy Kyrie 7 now :/
@@RedRashBallz the cushion will be pretty good in the beginning, after that it won't be good as they were before. I used it for 7-8 months wearing it almost every day. Idk if u tried one of Kyrie’s shoes I feel like Kyrie 7 is way better at cushions & traction

Westbrook and brons are similar not really any differences
I'm 6'1" and 14 years old.I'm playing center.Are these shoes good for me?
What about witness 5? Aren’t those built for lightweights?
I agree to disagree. Im a guard and i wear lebrons the most shoe that i use was 15! I think it always depends on comfortability
@@Da_Musket cause LeBron hasn’t played in the witnesses since the 4s
You’d think for a $200 shoe that the traction would be more durable.
I kno like at least put it on nike by you w xdr
Nah this is Nike they rarely have good durable traction
they should be a lot more durable for 200 dollars
Bro lebrons in Australia are 270
why would it? that would sell less shoes..
16 had outrigger i think it was 15 that didnt have it on GR
The 15 was the one where the pes had an outrigger but the public releases didn’t

can’t u pop the air max though? wouldn’t that solve the problem

No I agree
i got this a year ago and form my experience, its feels nice when you're running, and its great for indoor court
I honestly prefer the 17 much more!!
Yea I agree I’m not paying 200 dollars for some shoe
Not trying say I’m broke but it’s not worth it
Please do Jeremy Lin's first signature. Thinking bout getting those

The weight difference might be caused because you frayed more rubber off one shoe more than the other.
no he wont feel a 2g difference
Steven Ren I mean when he weighed each shoe individually.
stability is relative. it seems to work just fine for the guy it was actually designed for.. even managed to win a title wearing it.
HAHA
bron's shoes were retrofitted to have outriggers. if you are heavy relative to your shoe size. the lateral support is pretty much insufficient
When I first saw them, I hated them. But now I kinda like them.
Just picked up a pair for 125 on stockx. Excited to see how these perform on the court compared to my Jordan 34s
Can a shifty guard wear these ?
@@luhhhza3yy221 not really good for side to side movements. Good for running up and down but feels like you can roll your ankle with lots of lateral movements.
The cushion is great but they made it too high above the ground. Making it less stable.
I think the significant weight difference is because of the outsole's rubber ripping off.
The video transitions is good. Nice vid
I really like this colourway apart from the sole being multicoloured if it was a graffiti style like the heel I would be sick
The 2 clips that you slid, looks like you stepped on debris that made the traction not bite.
This is such a great review

Nice review, Sir. Just want to ask what do you prefer between the LeBron 18s and the Air Jordan 35s? Thanks!
man whenever I put on some LeBrons I realize how light I am. Constantly off balance in them lmao

Tounge made me return mine. Crap hurt. Could of been a perfect shoe. Great video
I did the same i loved the shoe so much, the cushion the aesthetics, the materials but that fucking tongue ruined the shoe
I popped the front part of my zoom unit but I’m not sure how, any ideas how to replace this or fix it
Oh wow, didn’t know it was a low cut. Just like the 16s.
How was the bubble on the tongue? Mine just crumbled after 3 months in storage
I don't know which colorway should I get james gang or reflections ? Is there any difference apart from the color?
everytime i see air max, i feel like it's gonna blow up

Not at all

the trick with this tongue is you don't lace it all the way up otherwise it's uncomfortable
What do you mean explain 🤨
Pls review adidas gametalker thkss
How is fit compared to 17s? Thanks 👍👍👍
Hey Sammy, 17 vs 18 please.
i have the bugs and marvin lebron 18 they look good but i don’t really like them they’re traction isn’t the best
Can I please get the name of the track in the back ground l, Peace!!!
do you think the durability and traction would be better indoors? just wondering because basketball season is starting up and it’s indoors ofc
These seem like really good shoes if you like playing on some heavier shoes, otherwise you should just cop some curry 8's
So what shoe is ur favorite of all time or like rn
For me, it's the KD 13s. The shoe is a instant classic. The colorways are just so unique.
My james gang colourway is on the way 🔥
That’s a L

ankle roll for $200 shoe? no thanks.. have same issue with bron 16 and i love my ankle :(((
The knit is actually Battle Knit 2.0
Sammy’s right counter: 69 times
I bought this shoe for only 50 dollars what do you think guys its a good deal or not?
I like them for casual wear
I bought this shoe today and trust me guys this shoe is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. But do not play outdoor with this shoes or else the sole is gonna get f***ed up
I agree with the tung it digs into my skin but other then that its niceeeeee
How is the fit of the shoe? I ordered my correct size in the 17s but I should have gotten a half size bigger because it is a really snug fit. Are these similar?
It's the same snug fit for sure thought about returning mine for a half size bigger

It’s an outdoor court of course the traction is inconsistent.
does it feel a little tight around the front foot region ? cause i faced that issue.
I did too I was thinking bout returning for a half size bigger
the only thing I dont like is that extreme angle of the tooling in the forefoot.
Review the Nike zoom rize 2
Review the converse pro bb evo
This one done right.
Hold auditions for a new sole brother!!
What happened to don?
@@MJ-qp3ex he's doing 48 months, kinda a Breaking Bad situation he was running at their sneaker shop. Sammy mentioned it in a vlog

Better wait for the edition with XDRs.
