The shoelaces’ holes of Lebron 16 can’t be changed. It takes me much times to change the shoelaces’ holes to make the shoes fit to my feet. It’s said that LeBron 16 low version has improved these problems. It also has counter on the shoe heel, so it is not easy to loosen.
Supporting Performance：9 scores
Lebron 16 has been improved comparing with Lebron 15. The vamp materials have been reinforced a lot. The outsole of forefoot has upturning design to improve the support.
Anti-rollover Performance：7.5 scores
Why didn’t Lebron 15 have the outriggers？The outriggers of Lebron 16 make up the disadvantages of Lebron 15. With the good supporting performance of vamp and outriggers, Lebron 16 has good anti-rollover performance. But the center of gravity is a little high. If you need to turn flexible, and if your ankle is weak, it’s better to choose other basketball shoes.

The supporting plate of LeBron 16 is a little soft, and it doesn’t have upturning design, so anti-torsion performance is not good enough.
