“Le Kobe”! I’m really looking forward to these. I havnt hooped in a lebron in so long, mainly because of how bulky a lot of them are, so these are a welcome addition
This was CLEARLY in response to all the love for the Kobe line, from players that were hording pairs to play in, to fans paying massive resale on the Mambacitas/Grinch/etc. I just hope that they provide "max cushion" like previously Lebrons, because your boys feet needs that cushion.
Yeah ur right, but I think if u noticed he’s been rockin his low signature line for the past few seasons. I think that’s one of the main reasons why 20s are low but for the design I have to agree that it’s very kobe-ish.
I have literally never been more excited for a release, been waiting for these a loong time Also it's so cool that you can literally see the double swoosh of the lebron 20 on the heel dunkman logo
Im waiting for the pink/bred cw but i definently am looking forwarding to picking up a pair. As far as price i thought 200 was a bit much especially comparing them to other lebrons but then i remembered that the kobe 11 elites were 200 and various other low tops with flyknit retailed at 200 so im not mad but i wish they were around 160 - 180.
Agree these should be atleast 170. It can't be more than the kobe 6 protros. Many are excited finally for a lebron specially this mix of kobe and curry 9s with sacai vibes🤤
Absolutely my favorite LeBron design since the 15. I'm glad they went in the low top direction, as he had been playing in a number of lows since the 15. He played in the 17, 18, and 19 lows quite frequently, maybe even more than the mid tops. I'm definitely excited to get multiple pairs of these!
I'm really digging these! I like how he's pulling back a bit from the Air Max. I like air max but I just felt it made his shoes so unstable. Also, digging that t-shirt and as a kid from the 80s I instinctively knew all the fonts lol
I might be alone in this, but I actually like the 19’s. To be fair though, I’m completely new to the world of sneakers and I’m just buying what I enjoy at the moment but I appreciate reviews like these because they’re helping me understand this crazy world of sneakers just a lil bit better and also giving me a greater appreciation of the work, craftsmanship, and thought that goes into this that I likely never would have considered, so I appreciate what you do. Much love from the Chi!
@@WearTesters thanks for the encouragement. I had someone trying to tell me to only purchase for investment purposes and I was like, but what about which ones I’m gonna put on my feet 😂🤣😂🤣
I'm a fan of lebron sneakers 1st & foremost. I like how this pair looks as opposed to the conventional lebron-ish sneakers that come off a bit bulky and animated but smooth at the same time aesthetic. These have more of a subtle approach that I can appreciate in a basketball shoe. No huge air bubbles, straps etc. Just simplicity at it's best. I like these a lot, can't wait to see what other color ways they're going to do. Thanks Nightwing for bringing us the heat as usual. Keep inspiring bro!
Hey Chris, just a quick heads up: the Nike sphere material inside the shoe is a material that has been used primarily in high end Nike tennis shirts-it has little sphere patterns in the weave, it helps with the evaporation of sweat, so maybe that why they have used that material in the LBs - i have a couple of Nike Sphere tennis shirts from early 2000s , yep Nike gear from those days was made properly, not like the modern day cr*p. 'The more you know brother', keep those excellent vids coming :)
I can’t lie, I’m hyped for these. This colorway isn’t my favorite but the shoe itself is perfectly Kobe-like. I will definitely be picking up a pair or 2 of these
Nike used that Sphere technology on the sock liner in the Lebron AZG and Zoom Lebron 2. Very comfortable. Big Kobe shoe guy here, so these have my attention.
Nike Sphere was used in the Air Zoom Generation's collar. That tech spec name was also used in a lot of Nike performance clothing back in the early 2000's kind of like Dryfit or Pro Combat.
These look fantastic! I'll be waiting for a darker color way...and for the price to go down. They'll most likely be between 220-240 over here in Japan. Hope they make a darker purple/Lakers color way!
Chris you have the 3 best Lebrons that LeBron 2 "Maccabi" white&gold and that LeBron 3 "barbershop" and now the LeBron 20 I salute you bro your the man💪🏾💯
They definitely resemble the Kobe 6 and 7. Lebron low19 is probably the greatest indoor workout shoe I’ve ever put on my foot, so I’m definitely going to cop a pair of these to see how they feel. I ended up with 3 pairs of 19’s, they were made so much better than any workout or hoop shoe I’ve ever had. People don’t give Lebron the credit he deserves for how well his shoes are made.
The last lebron I bought was the 16 and on the jump logo you could see that he was actually wearing the 16 which was really cool. Looks like he's wearing the 20 on this one!
I think these have the potential to be LBJs most memorable shoe. Almost a tribute to Kobe, I love these. The 10s have been my fav since they dropped, those thangs are absolutely gems. These are definitely up there.
Nice take, like the double swoosh, overall design, mesh, etc. As a high topper, still loving to play, etc. in my (3 pair) of 17s, but the 20 is the first since that got me excited, thanks.
I’ve personally really liked some of the LeBrons between 13-19. But these are my most definitely the most anticipated since the 12, I think these have a chance to make my top 5 of LeBron shoes.
Cushlon in, IIRC, its first implementation was the Vomero 1. And that shoe was MARSHMALLOW as hell, the two Zoom units in it aside. The cushion was absolutely bonkers. So much so that they toned it down for the Vomero 2. So I agree that it’s slept on when it’s implemented right. Really sad I missed the shock drop on these.
Now this is a comeback for the lebron shoe line. I didn't like the 19 at all tbh but these im super excited for. Hopefully these will be easy to get cause I for sure wanna ball in em.
Looking at this lebron 20, I can't help but feel like lebron deviated from the large air bubbles & 'battle knit' , since bronny loves to hoop in kobes. This was his effort to create a show similar to kobes to fit his sons' play styles.
Agreed…best looking Lebron in a long time…maybe ever. Not sure the tech specs warrant the price tag especially if the past 2-3 models had more in them and cost less? However…love the Kobe-squeeze set up. I wonder if the upper is a different type of knit? Also…nike sphere is usually found in their Therma-fit apparel, but this application might be more similar to the Nike Torch stuff found in the Kobes? 🤷🏽♂️ Looking forward to the performance review!! 👐🏽🤓
I'm glad everyone is feeling these but I'm such a visual tech guy. I would have loved to see the zoom air some where. These look like a take down model. But ima get them when they go on sale next year.
On Top of my head, I think the Lebron 9 was the last one with a carbon fiber shank, which is my favorite Lebron of all time. Coming in 2nd the 20-5-5s. Nike Sphere is a old Nike tech back in 03-05 when I was working at NTSF. It is supposed to provide breathability while less contact between skin and material.
Nike Sphere is an older tech they used in the lining for the Zoom Generation and LeBron 2 maybe even 3? Was supposed to be just a lighter weight, but still padded moisture wicking material if I remember correctly.
so looking forward to this release. feels like they went back to basics. i know the lebron 19s have their fans and that's cool, but the line has felt a little overdesigned to me lately. these are great.
I never bought any Lebrons but I always liked the LBJ lows. Came close a few time of buying a pair but these LBJ 20’s got my attention & I just might buy a pair this time. Waiting to see what other color ways drop
I hope they are lighter than previous models. I definitely like the design. Will be buying myself a pair and either these or Giannis latest for my daughter to hoop in this school year (whichever is the lightest).
Speaking of outlets I got the hyper royal and trinity colorways at 2 different stores.I got so lucky the hyper royal pair I got for $75 and trinity for $106.i think this is lebron’s best shoe so far hands down
“Le Kobe”! I’m really looking forward to these. I havnt hooped in a lebron in so long, mainly because of how bulky a lot of them are, so these are a welcome addition
Agreed! Lebron has some dope silhouette’s but they look like they made more for the winter solider, than hooping
These are definitely the toughest Bron's I've seen in a while. They're more sleek than usual.
cuz they’re Kobes
This was CLEARLY in response to all the love for the Kobe line, from players that were hording pairs to play in, to fans paying massive resale on the Mambacitas/Grinch/etc. I just hope that they provide "max cushion" like previously Lebrons, because your boys feet needs that cushion.
👆👆👆 nailed it, very accurate analysis of the shoe market

Picked these up on finish line last week, super excited to try them out on court! Awesome review as always!
The dimpled foam in the ankle collar is similar to what was used in the LBJ 1 & 2
Awesome review! This shoe looks 🔥
I might be alone in this, but I actually like the 19’s. To be fair though, I’m completely new to the world of sneakers and I’m just buying what I enjoy at the moment but I appreciate reviews like these because they’re helping me understand this crazy world of sneakers just a lil bit better and also giving me a greater appreciation of the work, craftsmanship, and thought that goes into this that I likely never would have considered, so I appreciate what you do. Much love from the Chi!
Don’t ever stop buying what you enjoy. Personal taste and preferences are what makes each of us unique.
I’m a LBJ fan. I think I have 7 colorways of the 19s
I love the 19. I have a bigger build so Lebrons always hold me down on court
The 19's were my first LeBron sneaker. They are very comfortable in my opinion.

Great job guys 👍🏿👏🏿 so many throwbacks in this 1, my fav was the “welcome back Kotter”that might even be 70’s 🧐
Wow this is seriously the most excited I’ve been for a lebron in at least a decade

Best Lebron in a looooooooooooooooong time! Curious to see all the different colorways!
First LeBrons I’m interested in purchasing for casual wear. Thanks for the review ✊🏿
The sphere sock liner is a throw back to the air zoom generation! Bringing everything together again!
Nike Sphere was used in the Air Zoom Generation's collar. That tech spec name was also used in a lot of Nike performance clothing back in the early 2000's kind of like Dryfit or Pro Combat.
Cant wait for the weartesters review but man how I wish you can performance review once in a while.💯 All love! come back to PH soon! 🇵🇭
These look fantastic! I'll be waiting for a darker color way...and for the price to go down. They'll most likely be between 220-240 over here in Japan. Hope they make a darker purple/Lakers color way!
Chris you have the 3 best Lebrons that LeBron 2 "Maccabi" white&gold and that LeBron 3 "barbershop" and now the LeBron 20 I salute you bro your the man💪🏾💯
These are so fire finally a Lebron we can wear on and off the court I’m really excited for these
Nike Sphere inner was in Lebrons 1-3. I think they worked pretty well.
The LeBron IIs had that sphere tech on the inside lining. One of my fav features ever
Can’t wait to see the different colorways and ball in these bad boys. That all pink one is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
These are the first Lebrons I've ever looked twice at. Ended up hitting on Snkrs today for the Time Machines. Excited
They definitely resemble the Kobe 6 and 7. Lebron low19 is probably the greatest indoor workout shoe I’ve ever put on my foot, so I’m definitely going to cop a pair of these to see how they feel.

Never been excited for a Lebron before, but this got me all pumped up 🔥🙌🏻
my fav Lebron is probably 2. super pumped for retro. you the man!
I really like that box and tech breakdown - seriously sells me on it
Nice take, like the double swoosh, overall design, mesh, etc. As a high topper, still loving to play, etc. in my (3 pair) of 17s, but the 20 is the first since that got me excited, thanks.
That sphere is the same that they used on the zoom generation. It’s on the ankle collar and tongue. It’s like dri fit
I really love these, can't wait to get myself a pair!
They are beautiful, and they seem to be top-tier performers. Gotta scrape up some to grab these!
Hope to hear good things from performance review. 1st Lebron I’m looking forward to in a while!
These look comfortable. Hopefully they are great performers. Thanks NW and the WT team.
Nike sphere was used on the original lebron 1, air zoom generation. Super comfy 👍
Yes lord i was waiting to see these in your hands i’m holding out on everything else until the bred colorway drop
I’ve personally really liked some of the LeBrons between 13-19. But these are my most definitely the most anticipated since the 12, I think these have a chance to make my top 5 of LeBron shoes.
Finally a LeBron shoes that I would be willing to buy in the last 4 years.
Literally LOL 5-10x per video on these edits brother... absolute top reviewer on youtube... or ANYWHERE
Cushlon in, IIRC, its first implementation was the Vomero 1. And that shoe was MARSHMALLOW as hell, the two Zoom units in it aside. The cushion was absolutely bonkers. So much so that they toned it down for the Vomero 2. So I agree that it’s slept on when it’s implemented right. Really sad I missed the shock drop on these.
Yay, thank God🙏 they are back to the knit. Last year's upper material had no business being on a $200 shoe.
Now this is a comeback for the lebron shoe line. I didn't like the 19 at all tbh but these im super excited for. Hopefully these will be easy to get cause I for sure wanna ball in em.
Looks great! A big 180 for the Lebron signature line. The Lebron 19’s are currently on sale for cheap on Nike website !
I cant wait for these!!
Looking at this lebron 20, I can't help but feel like lebron deviated from the large air bubbles & 'battle knit' , since bronny loves to hoop in kobes. This was his effort to create a show similar to kobes to fit his sons' play styles.
Who knows. Maybe his son helped him design it
Battle knit was amazing
I love your shirt. I knew every one except for Voltron (it wasn't my favorite).
They lookin slick! Love the new look🔥
I guess I'll hope they pump out colorways and grab a pair on sale for under $150. But I'm excited for this one.
That’s what I thought about the GT Cuts when they first came out 😢
These look dope! I hope the Nike ID options aren’t limited cause the right combo will have these right.
By the far the best looking Bron in a while. Thanks guys and keep grinding!!!
Best review ever 🙏
Hands down. Best lebron. Love how the check sticks off the back
The 19s held up pretty well during game play and the 20s are more my style for a casual shoe…I will wait on a different color way…
Cleanest Lebron model 🔥🔥 i want the pink colorway tho
I agree with you 100% bro and I can’t wait till they come out so I can buy them
Agreed…best looking Lebron in a long time…maybe ever. Not sure the tech specs warrant the price tag especially if the past 2-3 models had more in them and cost less? However…love the Kobe-squeeze set up. I wonder if the upper is a different type of knit? Also…nike sphere is usually found in their Therma-fit apparel, but this application might be more similar to the Nike Torch stuff found in the Kobes? 🤷🏽♂️ Looking forward to the performance review!! 👐🏽🤓
The last Lebron's I purchased were the 15s. Think I might look into these if a better color way comes out... I'll be on the lookout! 🧐👍
They are the best of looking Lebron's we've seen in awhile.
I really liked the 17s and 16s and the 19 lows as far as recent Lebron’s go. These are one of the best looking new releases of his though
Yo, these Lebron 20s are banging. Finally, a nice looking Lebron shoes after so many years.
Saw these drop on finishline last week. Almost bought them but decided to wait for the pink pair to release. Then going to wait for them to go on sale
I'm glad everyone is feeling these but I'm such a visual tech guy. I would have loved to see the zoom air some where. These look like a take down model. But ima get them when they go on sale next year.
These are fire. I’ve never like any of his shoes & I’m a huge fan. I’m gonna cop.
Finally a LeBron I can wear casually after I'm done hooping in them.
Finally a pair of Lebron I can see myself wesring casually. Good job Nike!
Awesome review as always. 👌🏽
We need more Kobe Protro’s though.
I’m definitely getting these.
This is the best looking lebron since the Zoom Generation 1. I can't wait for these
Now these I can roll with these. I like this
These are fire! 🔥
I hope they continue in this direction. So much of the lebron line feels overdesidgned to me. Price is ridiculous tho
On Top of my head, I think the Lebron 9 was the last one with a carbon fiber shank, which is my favorite Lebron of all time. Coming in 2nd the 20-5-5s.
Nike Sphere is a old Nike tech back in 03-05 when I was working at NTSF. It is supposed to provide breathability while less contact between skin and material.
The first sighting of this silhouette I thought it was the new Ambassador. This is total unexpected of a Lebron signature shoe.
These are the best looking Lebron's period. Going to cop.
Nike Sphere is an older tech they used in the lining for the Zoom Generation and LeBron 2 maybe even 3? Was supposed to be just a lighter weight, but still padded moisture wicking material if I remember correctly.
so looking forward to this release. feels like they went back to basics. i know the lebron 19s have their fans and that's cool, but the line has felt a little overdesigned to me lately. these are great.
The 15s and the 17s were actually great and not super crazy design wise
@@arlubas for sure, these feel like a direct play on a lot of those same elements too
Can’t wait for these!! Definitely worth the 200 imo
I'm glad you feel like it's more of a Kobe model instead of an Ambassador model. I would hate to pay $200+USD for a take down model.
I dont have money for this Lebrons right now but I will get them no matter what or how!! Love them!!
Patiently waiting for these to arrive in Australia
I never bought any Lebrons but I always liked the LBJ lows. Came close a few time of buying a pair but these LBJ 20’s got my attention & I just might buy a pair this time. Waiting to see what other color ways drop
Best slim shoe lebron has ever had I think! Love it
The 1st Lebron was Air Zoom Generation had the carbon fibre shank
So this shoe is going to be fire 🔥
followed by lebron 3 models.
Lebron 19 is better. This doesn't look like an expensive shoe.
I really want the pink color way but these are fire too. Best Lebron in a minute imo.
Finally a Bron that casually looks awesome. The 19 lows were cool also but Brons haven’t been a thing casually since the 12
Very dope, definitely need a pair
I hope they are lighter than previous models. I definitely like the design. Will be buying myself a pair and either these or Giannis latest for my daughter to hoop in this school year (whichever is the lightest).
Awesome looking model. Would love an orange colorway. Im just tired of them not giving us thick and durable outsoles 🥺😡
Shoe looks great! But that shirt is AMAZING!
Such intricate design
I'm gonna buy this for sure 🔥
These are straight fire 🔥
I love these I definitely get a pair. When will these sneakers be released.
Speaking of outlets I got the hyper royal and trinity colorways at 2 different stores.I got so lucky the hyper royal pair I got for $75 and trinity for $106.i think this is lebron’s best shoe so far hands down
