Our verdict
The LeBron 20 definitely looks much more toned down, so it is visually different from the previous Nike LeBrons; yet, we found its performance as big as ever. It serves our needs for not only a lot of impact protection but also agility on the court. It's already a bonus that this shoe has the looks for off-the-court action.
Pros
- Amazing overall performance
- Great traction
- Tremendous impact protection
- Pronounced court feel
- Dependable bounciness
- Comfortable upper
- Incredible foot containment
- Stylishly streamlined looks
Cons
- Not for outdoors
- Has to be broken in
