Gordon Basketball Tournament Signature Shoes, Featuring 361° Elastic Technology
Same style, different colorways are available. Since there's no real-world combat data, let's just do a static evaluation.
Some friends bought it for around 200-300 RMB, I didn't have that luck to grab the coupons, and finally bought it for 498. After receiving the shoes, I was actually quite disappointed. Firstly, the shoes have a very strong odor, a pungent glue smell. Secondly, the texture is not very good, the workmanship is not optimal. Let's take a look at the pictures to illustrate.
The upper is called a cage-like structure. The upper is not simply woven, but a combination of two materials. The upper lacks the refinement of woven uppers, but it's quite plastic-like.
The one-piece tongue design helps to improve the upper's fit.
The ankle padding thickness is generally thin, and it's only on the top, while the lower part is almost non-existent.
The material on the sides of the heel resembles those with changing patterns and plastic pieces that change direction, and also has textures. However, the use of this material on these shoes is not very good, it feels cheap.
The heel is made of TPU.
The 3-shaped TPU on the outer side of the upper, in addition to strengthening the upper, also extends to the entire forefoot through the midsole, and also plays a role in reinforcing and supporting the midsole material.
The midsole uses 361's Q-elastic technology.
The inner side is not reinforced, and the midsole material is directly exposed, which is a common design in many basketball shoes.
Crystal big sole, the patterns are quite special, with other patterns inside the diamond-shaped patterns, and the forefoot patterns also embed 361 degrees.
Under the transparent sole, the W-shaped anti-twist pads of the midsole are clearly visible.
Traditional side-out design, classic and practical.
EVA insole is generally thin.
This is my first purchase of 361 sports shoes, I didn't know much about this brand's workmanship before, for this pair of shoes, as a flagship basketball shoe with a price of 599, the workmanship is really disappointing, even worse than some small niche brands' basketball shoes.
The characters are blurry.
There's a lot of peeling, overflow, and poor bonding. Ignoring the price, this kind of workmanship is not the attitude that a brand should have for its flagship model.
The shoe's weight control is good, a single 42-sized shoe weighs 375 grams, which is very light. This shoe doesn't run small, although it has a one-piece tongue design, it's not difficult to put on, your feet are easy to enter, as long as your feet aren't extremely wide, and your foot arch is very high. From the wearing experience, the ankle locking and midfoot fit are decent, but the forefoot fit is not very tight, feeling loose and unable to effectively lock the forefoot. The midsole cushioning is softer in the heel and less obvious in the forefoot, and this midsole material's cushioning limit is relatively low. I just jumped a single jump and immediately stepped on it. Regarding the overall performance of the shoes, let's share it with you when we can actually perform combat.
