    Whats underneath the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD basketball shoe? Check them out for yourself with this deep dive on court playtest, review, teardown and durability test. As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the basketball shoe's functional attributes on the basketball court
    Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe shoe playtest, and performance review of the Nike LeBron NXXT Gen AMPD
    - The weight, durability, fit and playability
    - What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
    - Nike basketball shoe technology explained

    @cullenwiggins7842 2 месяца назад

    I actually got the NXXT Gen because i needed an every day wear shoe that looked great...never got them for play. but the traction and durability of the outsole over a few months held up so well that now they are my hoop shoe! I am like 120 and 5'6 and eternally the fastest guy on the court for adult pickup and these allow me to embrace the natural off-the-ball movement and speed that I have. But they are also extremely durable and I have never felt uncomfortable making any movement in them. My first low tops and now I am hooked.

    @thomasingram8713 4 месяца назад +1

    It really seems like at this point, the Lebron 20, NXXT Gen, 21, and NXXT Gen AMPD are all just 4 versions of the same shoe. Tech features and soles are near identical. Really just variations of uppers, personally my favorite is the 20, but I definitely can see why some people would like the NXXT Gen for lighter weight or the 21 for some extra stability. The AMPD, Im not really seeing the appeal to purchase them over one of the other 3.

    you should checkout the initial release of the AMPD version. the design and colors it's a based off of lebrons original air zoom generation (which was only retro'd once i believe and was really limited release) so i'd consider the AMPD version almost a spiritual successor the AZG
