Nike Lebron Witness 5 Review
Pros:
Comfortable materials
Good stability
Cons:
Outsole isn't durable
Performance of the Nike Lebron Witness 5:
The traction on the Lebron Witness 5 performs well on clean courts but picks up dust easily. It won't last on outdoor courts as the outsole isn't very durable.
The cushion setup is subtle but gets the job done with full-length Phylon and two forefoot Zoom pods.
The materials are an improvement over the Witness 4 and provide good comfort and performance.
The Witness 5 fits well and reviewers found it to be true to size, but slightly narrow. The half booty construction provides a snug overall fit.
The stability and lockdown don't disappoint and provide consistent lateral stability, containment, and decent ankle support.
Overall, the Lebron Witness 5 is a great hoop shoe for any player and budget.

They offer a really good and consistent bite on an outdoor court. I didn't get to try them indoors.

Reuses the traction pattern from the Lebron Witness 4 which was pretty good. They offer nice bite on clean courts, but I had to consistently wipe on dusty courts to maintain traction.

The full-length Phylon cushion doesn't feel that bad. The heel compression is decent and the forefoot Zoom units are okay. The court feel is adequate and feels similar to the PG4.

The Lebron Witness 5 has decent impact protection, even in the heel unlike the Witness 4. The forefoot Zoom pods are subtle, and I could really only feel them when I was putting a lot of force on the shoe.

If you have wide feet these may be a little hard to put on and snug in the midfoot.
