Nike LeBron 16 Performance Review 

Thanks for watching!!!

I don t have the habbit to leave comments and give my opinions, but in this case, I will make an exception, because I have the need to congratulate when I see something positive (which is not often). In the sea of youtubers that test sneakers, this channel is, in my opinion - way, way the best! The reviews are objective and informative, and the most important thing - every video is ABOUT SNEAKERS, NOT ABOUT THE GUY WHO IS TESTING THEM, which, in that case - would be very annoying. You are a great guy, down to earth. Respect, and keep up with the good work! Greetings from #Croatia, home of many sneakerheads who follow this channel! :)

I seen a couple reviews already, but I was waiting for yours before I got them. I’m sold now

I grabbed these shoes last week and played a tournament in them and they feel great

Awesome review as always! Glad that I heard so much positive things about the 16's. Going to buy them today. Thanks once again! Great job!

Spot on with the sock. 🔥🔥🔥

Performance review hype. Been waiting for it to come out 🔥

I had this shoe sitting away in a box somewhere and thought I'd bring them out for one of my indoor ball sessions. Based on my experience as a guard who runs around a lot, the cushion is great and traction is pretty good. However, I experienced a lot of instability when doing quick lateral movements or abrupt changes in direction. On a few occasions I almost rolled my ankle. The Lebron 16 is more durable than the KD 9 but I prefer the the KD 9 overall.

Shoes are badass. Had them for years lifting heavy weights and literally 0 smell and they've held perfect shape. High quality.

Love the vid and happy that they fixed the issues of the previous model. The price point is high but when Jordan retros go for 190 to 225 it comes back to what will somebody spend

I’ve been waiting for this!

Does the LeBron 16 smell good because that's all that matters

I love the logo on the bottom of the shoe. It reminds me of the 90s . they should of put a big one on the back heels of the shoes! That would of been fire in my opinion

Just picked up a pair of multicolors for $40 🔥🔥🔥

I just got mines today at footlocker the Oreo ones 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Took mine out on court yesterday. Completely agree on cushion. I'm a big guy around 300lbs. Only thing is for me running in the shoe I have heel slippage and I personally felt unstable. I'm also a wide footed and have a tall foot and these still fit me well. May try cranking the laces down more to see. But if anything this shoe for me will be a perfect casual shoe as I have zero foot pain after wearing them through 2 11hr shifts are work.

I'd love to get one of these, but I'll probably wait for that price drop.

I tried on a pair a few weeks back. I wear a half size where my right foot fits more snug in certain sneakers. In short, I missed out on these because one foot wasn't comfortable. You def feel the shoe on your foot. The traction and cushion felt A1.

This is the one I've been waiting on!

You are one of the BEST sneaker tester in the game rn

These are my fav! Great review and super comfortable. You might have to smooth the tongue out or loosen a little of your left shoe that's bitting down on your foot. Mine did the same but it's cool now

I was waiting for this video, thanks

Great review! My SFG (Oreo) pair is now in my hands after a long wait. Perfect for my casual use lol take care.

I went 1/2 size down on the LB 15. Should've gone down 1/2 size on this shoe. I did have to put the last two lacing eyelet sets on the bottom. It's a pain in the butt. Otherwise great shoe and it actually feels more cushioned than the 15 likely because the B knit 2 keeps you on top of the footbed more consistently

Dope vid! Very informative and helpful and to the point!

I was so looking forward to this!

for those watching and considering buying in 2021 there is something you should know. Currently there are two model numbers for lebron 16 fresh bred AO2588 002 and AO2595 002. The model which is 2588 is the release version of it and the other one is 2020 release, I've just called a nike employee, checked the database if mine was a fake because my 2595 model had a different material inside the air unit. It turned out that nike changed the design of the inner air unit, it is not constructed with little strings tied to upper and lower shoe, but with a little thicker pillars. Just wanted to let you guys know

Copped my pair the day they came out no regrets no complaints... currently one of my favorite among my collection ..

built for everyone? SKI- i mean NIGHTWIIIING *Shannon Sharpe voice* HOLD IT RIGHT THERE YOUNG FELLA! Liked before finishing the vid!

Wow..when was the last time u gave a shoe this good a review? J28? Kobe 1 protro? Makes me want to get one as well..but will wait for the oreos before i buy✌️✌️✌️

As of right now I'm waiting on my pair to arrive from +Footlocker on Monday or Tuesday. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

His explanation of the pricing at the end was 🔥🤔🤯

Looks like i found my shoes for next season definitely gonna tryn pick these up around black Friday

Fire review as always 🔥🔥

His best sneaker in awhile. Just copped a pair this weekend.

awesome review sir great job im from phillippnes

I have these shoes and their the best shoes I've had in years

Please test out the Lebron Soilder 12s Great review bro

I just got it yest and tried it in an indoor court.. it was awesome... Actually felt my vert increased..

spot on with the review as always. I just hooped in mine a few days ago and I don't think it's a defect on the manufacturing, it dug into my right ankle. I think this is due to how the tongue flaps down when you lace up. When you lace up you will notice the tongue either folds inwards or out on the sides and creates a corner edge where it rubs against the ankles. i wore low socks, so definitely recommend higher socks.

Drooling when I saw this shoe in the store. Way better overall than the 15's. When the price drops, will be copping this bad boy.

Knightwing you are really a cool fella. Your reviews are always on point!

I finally got my hands on these via ebay brand new for well under retail, and the fit is just right.

Awesome review like always! Real quick? How does the cushion compare with the kd9s??? Imo those were one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve played in.

These are my favorite shoes because Lebron pretty much stole the KD 9 😭😂but made it tougher

Been hitting the weights Chris? Looking buff

I just got a pair!! Best shoe ever!

nike gotta make a kobe 9 battle knit 2.0 version now

Yooo! Big time Lebron fan and weekend warrior. I ball 3-4 times per week. Until the 15 I couldn't find a shoe that I could wear for 2+ hours on the court. I grabbed all the 15s I could thinking I'd never play in anything else. Last week I scooped up the Superbrons. I just hooped in em and was SUPER disappointed. The biggest let down was the traction pattern change. The 15s "spikes" are phenomenal on even dusty hardwood, the 16 had me slippin and slidin with the wave pattern. Taking em back and scoping out any 15s left. Hope this helps someone lookin. Love your vids man.

@nightwing, do you prefer Lebron 16 or Kobe 1 Protro?

I sprained my right ankle yesterday lmao. tournament comin this weekend

I had the same issue with the tongue on the left shoe kept digging in, was super annoying but other then that great shoe

Ya got that shirt at target 💯

Best Lebron's for me. Hella great cushioning and grip.

I just got LeBron 16 Soundtrack (I just ordered them tonite) so I needed to see if they’re comfy and made for basketball

Nice review! Where can I find the low rise socks? I looked everywhere! Thanks!

LeBron Witness III came out yesterday. Hoping you guys can review it. Looks like a decent budget model!

Just got these for Christmas beautiful shoe

Nice I’m definitely gonna wait for the discount on these, there a big expensive

best version lebrons... great review thanks.

Kobe 9 protro with these battleknits 👌👌

I was like 10 or so when i bought these and i never really played basketball didint even know they where lebrons until like a year ago i wish i could still fit these so i could try them on the court since i play basketball for real now

Great vid thanks

Waited out the 15s and ended up getting a pair for under $100. But my knees and back hurt so bad after playing in them I returned them lol. Will wait these out too

C’mon Nightwing! No long two’s 😆 Scoot your foot back lol

This is a major GO ! 🔥🔥🔥

From experience if you play outdoor ball everyday for a few hours on concrete it will last about 2 months

@WearTesters is this advisable to use in cross fit training?

Are you going to do a review on the low version?

i dont know.. space jam shirt.. is this gonna happen? hehehe.. thank u for the review.. lit as fffffff... really looks great..

I wear them 7 months now and bottom finally flattered out since that raised forefoot was stupid.

I just got these today. They feel very heavy to me, but comfortable, stable, and good traction. They probably feel heavy since all my casual shoes are ultra boosts. I had kd 7 as my basketball shoes, but I have had a sore Achilles , and wanted more support. Not to worried about weight since I usually play 4 spot, and my Opponents are to fast.

Hi @nightwing, i have that pinching thing too but mine’s on the right shoe. Does it go away after time?

the lack of squeak from traction that works well throws me off...but i guess its all in the mind but without that squeek makes me feel like ill slip.... :( Otherwise the whole shoe i really like.

Greatest shoes of all time!

Can it be use as a regular lifestyle shoe? Or is it too brittle?

What’s the chances of the air bags popping. It popped on my kd 10s

Lebron 16 is one of my favorite shoes for comfort.

I bought that shoes after watching your video 👍🏻

Hi Nightwing Just a quick question, i hope you can help me out here, Im 40 years, 240lbs I still ball leisurely twice a week on wooden indoor court Few months ago i hurt my knee The doctor says i need to rest for at least 3 months So i did. Now i start to play again but still i feel a little discomfort on my knee I wear bauerfeind knee support with side bar but still it doesnt help. Currently im wearing Air Jordan 32 Now im looking of a better cushioned shoes So in your opinions what should i get ? This lebron 16 ? Kobe protro? or boost ? I just need the best cushioned shoes to ease my knee pain, thank you so much .

Walked right into it

Another bad boys here baby!! And at last!!! The shoe complements with the socks. Thank you! Hahaha 🤣🤣

_Dope sh*t Bro_

has anyone used these for outdoor use for a considerable amount of time?? how long would they last? i mostly play outdoors and i'm worried they won't last long (since they're not the cheapest out there). great video by the way!

These are amazing

lebron 16 or kobe 1 protro og?? and what cushion feels more bouncy? i need your opinion,they have the same price range too,and the durability also im afraid the air max will popped out lol

you'll know the shoes is dope when you hear 3 to 5 bleeps. lol.

I haven’t played indoor but it’s a great basketball shoe

Are they heavy when you run?

Man I've got so many sneakers that I wanna cop this month there's the 16s, the Jordan 33s and the Kyrie 4 "Halloween" all these are cop worthy

I'm thinking of this colorway or the new grey and multi colorway.

does it pop like the KD 9 did?

The tounge didnt cover my foot. The laces kept digging into my heel. :/ Not a problem I had with the lebron 9 lows

Not as aesthetically pleasing as the 15 but that outrigger and harder rubber is reason enough for me to cop.

idk if yall see this or not,but i personally think lebron 16 is a bit wide,i have normal feet and i kinda feel some heel slippage but after lacing it up,than u good just a little bit heel slippage

OK..... These lebron 16 or the Jordan XXXIII based off of playing in both? what do you think #weartesters?

Most comfortable and stable basketball shoe I’ve had in a while. Eyelet area around inside left ankle rubs on my pair too. Nonexistent on right ankle. Must be an overall product defect. Tried different lace patterns but still persists. Please post any solutions.

Can you do a review on Lebron soldier 12 please

wonder if that shot of the man on the background went in lol 2:46

Looking to get some Lebron 16s soon was wondering if the sole colour makes a difference in wear time ,?translucent softer than a solid white etc .
