A knitted upper sits atop a chunky EVA foam midsole, along with a comfortable and well padded EVA drop-in insole as well. Check out my review of this unconventional pair and see how they are on feet!

Nike LeBron 20 “Violet Frost” Review
It’s been a while since I’ve been this excited about a LeBron James signature sneaker! The Nike LeBron 20 recently debuted to a lot of anticipation as it is such a departure from past signature models. Being a low top model, it also eliminated the bulky look that LeBrons have been known for and was given a much sleeker setup with Zoom Turbo and Zoom Air on the forefoot and heel respectively. Check out my review and let me know your thoughts on this pair for The King!
