Nike LeBron NXXT Genisus Review
Pros:
The forefoot Zoom unit feels bouncy
Lockdown and containment are supportive
Cons:
Rigid ankle collar
Materials require a break-in time
Performance of the Nike LeBron NXXT Genisus:
LeBron's latest NXXT Genisus uses an outsole similar to the Air Zoom Generation, and it feels consistent but isn't the tackiest.
The cushioning features a Phylon-like foam and a forefoot Zoom Turbo unit. It feels comfortable and offers impact protection with some bounce.
The upper material feels stiff initially, but it breaks in to soften up. It provides solid support, lockdown, and containment.
There isn't much else needed for support, but the carbon fibre shank and rigid heel counter also provide stability. The only downside is that the ankle collar can feel stiff and restrictive.
The Nike LeBron NXXT Genisus is a decent performance shoe, excelling at support and containment.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing in the Nike LeBron NXXT Genisus. The only downsides are the shoe's short length and restrictive heel. Everything else performed exceptionally well.

The Nike LeBron NXXT Genisus is a good basketball shoe, but not at the retail price. The traction is consistent, and the support and fit feel secure. I wish they kept the heel Zoom bag, though.

The wide herringbone traction is better than expected. The bite is solid, and I felt good on clean courts. Be prepared for slight slippage on dirtier courts.

The cushioning feels like a downgrade from the NXXT Gen. There's only a forefoot Zoom unit and nothing under the heel.

The forefoot Zoom unit is the only positive for the cushioning. It does the job but isn't as bouncy as the main line.

Lockdown on this pair is fantastic. The rearfoot around the ankle also has a strong heel counter. It starts stiff and takes time to break in.
