Nike Lebron Witness 6 Review
Pros:
The shoe fits really well
Materials perform well for a budget model
Cons:
Traction has little to no bite
Lack of lateral stability
Performance of the Nike Lebron Witness 6:
The latest entry in LeBron's budget line is a great-looking sneaker but an underperforming performance model.
The performance of the traction varied from non-existent to good for different reviewers.
Reviewers agreed that the cushion was not good. One reviewer even mentioned that the lack of cushion caused slight pain in their forefoot.
For the price, the materials perform well. They feel thin but get the job done when playing.
Lateral containment was not an issue thanks to the shark fin heel counter, but the shoe lacks any sort of stability. There is no outrigger and the cushion isn't stable enough underfoot to provide support.
Overall, reviewers agree that they cannot recommend the Nike LeBron Witness 6 for performance use, but they do agree that it is well designed for casual wear.

The Nike LeBron Witness 6 has a lot of stability enhancements this year, but it can still be a bit unstable. However, this is a great shoe to beat up on outdoor courts.

The Nike LeBron Witness 6 is a step down from the previous model in the Witness line. The shoe's instability combined with the underperforming traction leaves much to be desired. Even for the $100 price point, I can't recommend this shoe.

The Nike LeBron Witness 6 is a great-looking shoe, and can definitely be worn casually. However, I cannot recommend it for playing basketball. The cushion feels unstable and not supportive underfoot.

The cushion is pretty stiff but that’s the only weakness. I loved the witness 5 and the witness 6 is a small but noticeable upgrade it feels super light and has great traction. I don’t think I‘ve ever worn a shoe with better support than the witness 6. They are a bit hard to get on (I’d recommend a shoe horn) but even without great cushion they feel great.

I bought 2 pairs of this shoe the Lakers colorway and the navy blue colorway.The Lakers color were too small in the same size as the navy but the navy were great so idk what is wrong with somethings about this shoe but it is good. Buy the witness 5s over these.

The traction seemed pretty tacky once broken in. This shoe is slightly bulkier, so is a great post player option, but could be a good option for a guard too. It has great cushioning and impact protection too. Overall a fun shoe.

Overall, the traction didn't perform as well as I'd like because it collected more dust than expected.

The full-length herringbone makes it so that the shoe doesn't slip out from under you often. One thing to note is that it performs better outdoors than indoors.

Despite being full-length herringbone, the traction does not perform well. It takes a long time to break-in. It has an alright bite on clean courts, but it doesn't bite at all on the dusty courts.

The Air Max doesn't give you the best ground feel, but the forefoot foam helps to counteract this.

The full-length Air Max does not feel too great. Although I will admit, I'm just not a fan of Air Max units. It feels heavy, and the impact protection isn't the best.

The cushion is comfortable, and I could feel the Air Max unit when walking. However, your forefoot does not feel supported when playing. I actually had to stop playing because of the pain I felt in my forefoot.

The material around the ankle area can dig into your skin if you don't wear higher socks. The mesh looks like it will hold up well, especially for being a budget model.

The lateral containment was solid, but lateral stability was lacking. Your foot is high off the ground because of the Air Max unit, and the base is not wide enough to compensate for this.

I had no issues with the heel stability and containment. The lateral stability, on the other hand, was not good. The cushion on the lateral side of the shoe compressed and caused me to feel unstable.

I felt locked down in the heel area. The only issue I had is that I don't think there is enough air pressure in the cushion to be supportive. The shoe could've benefitted from a larger outrigger.
