The Nike LeBron Witness 8 basketball sneakers feature a Max Air unit in the low-profile midsole that combines with a foam wrap-up for support when moving in lateral directions. It helps cushion the landing while supporting the smooth transition from heel to toe. Breathable mesh provides a lightweight, conforming fit in the upper, from the webbing that harnesses the forefoot to the external molded pieces that help secure the heel. The rubber outsole is split and partially cut out under the arch to help it bend and flex while helping reduce its overall weight. The basketball shoes have a padded collar, lace-up fastening and a diamond-stitched quilted tongue.
