Whats underneath the 361 AG4 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 361 AG4
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- 361 degrees basketball shoe technology explained

361 degrees is killing it when it comes to design and performance of their shoes. Just wow. Meanwhile, Nike is just throwing out over-priced signature shoes with crappy materials.
@@John123-oe1sg Which company are you criticizing with your comment? Nike or 361 degrees?
@@rightybricks1582nike
Eh- I like a lot of Nike’s recently - everyone is starting to catch up to the top though- lots of options out there
@@FootDoctorZach Nike shoes are still way over-priced for what they're putting in their shoes. Historically, Adidas and Chinese companies have invested more in their technologies while Nike has placed dinosaur-age phylon foam in customers' mouths for decades. Adidas upped the innovation with their introduction of boost and bounce foams. After a few years, Nike was forced to respond with the react foam since a lot of people were switching to boost basketball running and lifestyle shoes. Nike's signature shoes now are like 50/50. The Ja 1 is a decent start but as with other Nike 1st sig shoes, it has meh cushioning and meh materials The Tatum 1 has crap durability. At least there's the Lebron 20 which is a solid shoe.
True. I don't buy the hype of Nike. Only bball shoe i like from nike is the Kyrie infinity.
I would wait for 361° to release an outdoor version of AG series because I can't sacrifice the longevity of the outsole for the midsole. I would pick Anta or Peak because they offer good midsole with solid rubber for outdoor courts.
Anta's nitrogen infused foam and Peak's P Pop-Up and Taichi foams are supper comfy and responsive.
I'm a big fan of your work and love your videos keep on the good work
Thanks for this breakdown.. can we get a breakdown of the AG4 Soar
Hey Zach! Could you do a review of the Yushuai 16 v2 and the Sharp Edge 3 v2? They’re Li-Ning’s team models and both boom shoes and I’d love to see a breakdown of them.
Great Review Dr. Zach 💪🏿🧠
Hopefully you can get and review
the following 3 pair of shoes that will be great performers:
( 361 BIG3 4.0 PRO either or Switch/Quick )
( Li-Ning Bad Five 3 Ultra )
( Anta KT 9 )
💯🔥🏆
I think the reason for the bouncy feeling is you're only seeing the middle part of the shank.
It's actually a prong-shaped shank that goes from the middle of the foot all the way to the big toe and little toe of your foot.
He cut the entire shoe in half-though, doesn't seem to have a long shank.
@@bhinhanchung1752 cutting the shoe in half exposes the middle part of the shoe's base. But the shank extends along its edges.
Bought these in China for about 80 bucks, amazing shoes. Worth the trip to Shenzhen to check them out!
They should tweak the bottom rubber for a outdoor edition. Loved the 3s but the rubber died quick
Hi doc can you review the puma all pro nitro?
These seem like a great shoe for me as an ankle sprainer. However, I now see that they have released the AG4 Soar, which is a high top. Does that mean those are even better or are there other drawbacks?
Thanks again for your expertise
It would be good if you could do the 361 big 3 III (maybe the pro version) and see if it's worth or not. I really want to take them yet i don't see many reviews so i'm not really sure if i should take them or not
Shoe Doc, can you do a test for the 361 Degrees Big3 4 Quick and Pro!
Hi, Dr Zach. Are this review shoes a EU size 46 or 45? Greetings.
the shank plate is longer to the front, but it is in a U shape, that is why you havent cut anything at the middle....
what is the grip test result for the ag4?
Hey Zach! Have you tried the soar version of these? Curious to pick up a pair since they're on sale for almost the same price as this one.
AGs are really solid shoes.
Doctor the zion 2 is better than these or is the same level?
Could you please review the 361 degrees super nova 1.0 pro
Hey doc is your size 11 for these a 45 or 46 eu
pls review some Xtep shoes. i recommend Xtep Storm Rider 1.0
What are the top 5 shoes you've reviewed for outdoor traction durability, Zach ?
Whats a better shoe this ag4 or ar1?!
Can you do a performance on 361 big3 4 quick?
The AG4 is arguably the best looking signature shoe of Aaron Gordon. 💯😍
Great vid!
Thank you for this, I’ve been really considering this shoe and I think I’m gonna go for it!
Where do you get these from ?
@@euLIRIC Kicks Crew, 361 Degrees website or eBay.
@@euLIRIC 361 degrees
These are actually elite. It's staying in my rotation.
This is prolly the Best in the AG mainline
🔥🔥
I’m 5’9 260 lbs and play PF. I had the KD14 and went half a size up but would still feel pain in the balls of my foot and arch after a bit of playing I’m also a 2E and it was a bit snug. I got the harden vol 7 true to size (10.5) and they were nice with the game day pros but it would still hurt. Would you recommend either the wyx v4 2E or these at all?
I'm 6'3 n 240lbs n get the wow10 either low or mid or the zion 3 or the li ning fisson n the lining shadow 4,just bought the ag4 and they are also good no foot or knee pain great cushion and support I bought 2 pairs
361 degrees and Xtep and Anta are one of the best basketball shoes in terms of design, materials and safety. better than other branded shoes. promise.
Anyone else getting pain on the middle of the outer edge of your foot?
It's happening on both of my feet. Sharp pain, maybe the plastic is too stiff.
Hoping it eventually goes away after breaking in.
I've tried with 2 different insoles (GameDay pro and superfeet carbon), pain still there.
Are you going to be reviewing the spo player 1 plus? They fixed the sizing and traction
No idea- maybe
Hi Doc Zach,
I'd like to ask which shoe provides better comfort. AG4 or KT9? I'd love to cop either one of these shoe. To give you a context, I have Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis and I'm looking for a shoe that can provide support and comfort for my foot issues. I currently have WOW 10 and its really freaking nice but I'm looking for another shoe to add to my rotation.
Thanks and more power!
I have plantar fasciitis and would love an answer to this question too. I did pick up the AG4s , literally just came in the mail today. If you get an answer please let me know!
@@ryansanders7868 I also brought the Ag4s and it just arrived a few days ago. I haven't tried them out yet though but will let you know if they feel nice on foot during ball game. I also have wow 10 and It really feels nice on foot. The only cons regarding wow 10 is that its just so expensive.
@ryansanders7868 how are they?
Do thermoplastic foams like the one this shoe has feel similar to Nike’s Zoom Air?
Some
do the puma clyde all pro nitro
Puma all pro nitro review please.
will you do the new puma all pro shoe? need to see whats inside those\
New all pro ?
When did that one came out 😮
I think every time someone asks for it he puts the review back a week 😅
Its just nitro infused foam
Puma All-Pro Nitro very comfortable sneakers. I'm waiting for Zach to cut them. Cushioning is very good.
Look decent
u need to make: top 5 bounce test 2023, I'm really curious 😁
Its in the upcoming ultimate basketball shoe buyers guide
@@FootDoctorZach
thx 🙏
zoom air got fierce competition from latest foam midsole
Hii doc zack... which one would you choose... aG4 or sabrina
They're completely different shoes
Interesting!
Could you help me? I'm about to buy 361 zen 3. But in the size table it says that the size 10 US is 27cm However, all the sneakers I wear Nike are 28cm. And they use European sizes. Should I use 46 European? 44 or 45? Help meeee
As a Chinese advise u go with 27cm which equals Euro size 44 as we calculation form here at home is (44+10)*10=270mm/27cm perfectly fits ur size.Hope u got some good shoes😊
Which would you prefer AG4 or WoW AC12? Protection and cushioning wise.
I'm thinking between these two models, too. I need for jumping. I spend money on asics gt-1000 12 at a discount and it was big mistake, my heels hurt after playing.
This shoe is pretty wide. I have a wide foot. I would need to buy 2 sizes bigger for wow ac12.
But i don't know which has better cushion. I prefer cushion to everything else.
I noticed with these, the EU sizes don't really match up the usual US sizes. Should I disregard this difference and just get my usual US size?
361 ball shoes based on my experience run long compared to my other ball shoes.
So i usually go half size down on 361.
use Euro size. whatever ur fit with Nike in US, convert that to Euro and use that for 361 and disregard sa US sizing on it.
There actually is something like an outdoor version of this shoe! The 361 Zen 3 Pro features a full bed of the same foam with a supposedly more outdoor friendly pattern.
What's funny and interesting is that it's almost like a protro because it's the exact same 2021 Zen 3 model but they replaced quikfoam lite with quikcotech, which was already praised by Nightwing and the Sole Drop.
Gonna get them soon because they're as low as $50 from where I'm from with vouchers. Your praise of the AG4's foam just made the decision easier.
I’m crazy about this one. I’m about to buy one pair. But I don’t know how to choose the size of the shoe because they use EU size and I use to wear 10 Nike which is 28 cm. Could you help me man? 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@volleyballshoes Great timing, I just received them a few days ago. I'm a size 9 in both my Nikes (Rize 2 and GT Jump), I went 43 with the 361 Zen 3 since that's US size 9 according to their guide. It fits true to size for me with just enough room for comfort (which you tighten with the laces if you really wanted). I'd recommend getting a 44 if you're a US size 10, that's what their chart says. If it worked for me, I hope it works for you.
The shoes are perfect for me in my first impression btw. Great cushion (even in the forefoot), conforming yet breathable materials, hard and thick rubber for durability, and great support overall.
Excellent my friend, thank you very much. You helped me a lot. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😭
@@volleyballshoes WAIT. Sorry for the late update, I just focused on you being a 10 that I didn't realize you gave a measurement (also didn't know if you were US or UK 10). I checked their guide again, and it says 280mm/28cm is 46 EU. I'm sorry for the late update. Hope you can sort it out.
ag3 vs ag4?
Dude has some insane calves
Where would you find these?
Link in the description
Ag4 or son of chi 3?
Does anyone whats better anta shockwave 5 or ag4?
Depends on your foot
Is this good for outdoor?
Yay
Next shoe.. do the upcoming Dame Extply.
Next one up
Zac, I'd like to try some of these but shipping is $35...Do you have a discount code i can use? Ive been a fan/follower of you for years...Thanks!
Not that i know of unfortunately
@@FootDoctorZach i just ordered some...i hope they fit and perform as you concluded. Another UA-camr said they ran true to size and narrow:(
@@FootDoctorZach Hi Zach, how long does it typically take to get shoes from Kicks Crew? I was hoping i'd get my new 361 AG4's before Christmas but it doesn't look like it:(
What is the upgrade from ag4 to ag4 soar?
No idea
Those are pretty much the Jordan 33 with laces...😂
clyde all pro nitro
These are the worst shoes not just basketball shoes that I've ever bought very disappointing after all the good reviews and weeks of researching shoes before coppin. They've literally made a hole in my ankle!! Thought it was a breaking in thing so gave it some time but every session the hard edge where the last lace eyelets are just dig in and feel horrible. I've even added tounge pads and doubled up on socks but played a game last night and again sock soaked in blood at the ankle. Never experienced issues in this area with any other shoe. Apart from ripping my ankles to shreds the traction and cushion are great.
361 is nigh impossible to find in Europe. Really annoying for AG fans.
Not really, I just ordered mine 😅
@@dam1rr Where? Also this post is 4 months old and 361 originally told me they would be released in December, but now they've told me they will be released in 2 weeks.
@Wladislav yeah I noticed your comment is 4 months old later.. official 361 Europe website.. there are sizes available, even the new version is out there
@@dam1rr Ah I see, they are not on the main page.
🤜🤛
Do some more soccer/football cleats
