The LeBron Witness VIII basketball shoes provide stability during quick movements and soft landings. A Max Air unit in the low-profile midsole combines with a foam wrap-up for support when you’re moving laterally. It helps cushion the landing while supporting the smooth transition from heel to toe. It also provides side-to-side stability and helps harness and direct force. 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. Reinforced stitching along the sides helps the shoe fit snugly for full-foot containment. Nike split the rubber outsole and partially cut it out under the arch to help it bend and flex while helping reduce its overall weight. A classic herringbone pattern adds durable traction. This shoe features a padded collar and diamond-stitched quilted tongue.
