Nike Lebron 16 Low vs Nike Lebron 18

So I did not have any instability issues like it did last year. So whether we're talking about just a quick change of direction, a quick stop, maybe a...

You got workouts, You got the indoor basketball hoops. You want to introduce yourself a little bit to the people out there? Absolutely. As he already ...

I have one wide foot and I got the Lebron 16 low (which has the same cushion and outsole), and I went a half size up. I heard the regular one is a little roomier so you dont have to go half a size up, but i dont know though. If you have very wide feet Id say the safe bet is to go a half size up, or a full size if its really, really wide, whatever you normally do.

Lebron 16-18, Nike Zoom BB Nxt (bit unstable for ankles tho), Zoom Rize, GT Cut, GT Run, KD12-14, Anta KT4, Peak Taichi Flash 1 or 2, adidas Marquee Boost, and Tmac Millenium (defintely go down half a size for the last 3). The Nikes generally you need to go up a half size up as a wide footer. Nikes tend to be narrow, but the others all fit wide.

I used to get knee pain too, you need a maximum cushioned shoe to minimize that. Outdoor durable shoes with great cushioning are the Lebron 16, Zoom BB Nxt, Zoom Rize, Anta KT4, Peak Taichi Flash 1 and 2, adidas Marquee Boost, and adidas Tmac Millenium (half size down on the last 3). Retros are usually very durable for outdoors as well.

The KD 12 was great, and I’d expect the KD 14 to perform similarly. Otherwise, good cushion can be found in the Lebron 18 lows, the Puma Clyde All-Pros, The Nike Zoom BB NXT, the Nike GT Cut, the Jordan 35, the Nike Cosmic Unity, The Curry 8 and the PG 5.

In my experience playing outdoors you need to rotate your shoes if you're playing more than twice a week. No amount of cushioning will "recover" if you only wear 1 pair.

Asian brands and releases seem to have harder, thicker and more durable outsoles, Anta KT series is a great example (KT3 sole was indestructible) and I noticed that the EP releases I've bought (Lebron 18 and 19) are noticeably sturdier than their US counterparts. If you buy something with soft rubber, it might feel nice at first but it won't last at all, and the shallower patterns pick up more dust and wear down faster.

LeBron 16- ridiculous cushion and bounce with thick, hard traction. Lasted me a few months of hard outdoor use.

I have a couple more but saving those for indoor courts, I did try balling in those shoes but those have translucent outsoles and idk if it’s worth even mentioning. Honestly of the three that I have been wearing, lebrons hold up the best, and lebron 18s IMO has better traction and comfort.
