Traction
Multidirectional pattern with medium-sticky rubber. Excellent grip on clean courts, dust sensitive and can lose bite on very dusty surfaces.
9.0
Cushion
CQT slab with pillowy forefoot and springy heel. Protective, bouncy ride with strong impact protection and good rebound for launch.
7.5
Materials
Synthetic leather, TPU-coated mesh, and patent leather upper. Reinforced areas feel durable but some patent and plastics feel thin or squeaky.
9.0
Support
Double heel counters, TPU overlays, carbon-infused shank, outrigger and straps. Strong lateral containment and torsional rigidity for confident cuts.
7.5
Fit
Snug, low-volume fit with secure heel lockdown and firm sidewalls. Narrow and medium feet fit TTS and wide footers may need a half size up.

Outdoor
Thin rubber in some areas may wear on gritty courts. Mixed reports but fine for light backyard sessions.

Best for narrow to medium widths. Wide footers may feel constricted and should size up or seek a wider model.

I was pleasantly surprised by the AG5. They feel forgiving and nimble while offering strong lockdown and launch. Not exactly the AG4, but very close. The plush tongue, fit, and shank-driven pop make them a great indoor performer.

At $130 the AG5 is an absolute banger. Cushion, support, and materials are all excellent. The only downside is traction on very dusty courts. Overall I really like this shoe and would recommend it.

Overall I give the AG5 an A+. Cushion is the highlight with high stack and safe landings. Traction is sufficient though not as insane as the AG4. Fit could be roomier, but it's another great product from 361°.

Not my favorite shoe. It isn't low to the ground or lightweight, but the cushioning and support are excellent. Traction is solid and the $130 price is strong. Good choice for bigger players who want cushion and containment.

The traction is solid. It didn't pick up much dust and gripped well on a not-perfect indoor court. Ramp test showed 38° slip which is middle of the road.

The traction is pretty good. It grips well on clean courts but struggles on very dusty courts. A quick wipe usually fixes it.

Traction is solid. You can get hard stops consistently and it stays pretty squeaky, though it's not quite as good as the AG4.

The traction is pretty nice. It gives solid stops on a clean court. It picks up dust and can be inconsistent on dusty courts.

The cushioning is lively in the heel thanks to the CQT slab. The forefoot is pillowy and protective. It feels forgiving underfoot and gives good rebound for launch.

The cushioning is a strong suit. Impact protection is excellent and it feels comfortable and responsive. It's soft but not overly mushy and offers good underfoot comfort.

The materials are substantial and durable. The tongue is padded and the double heel counter is reinforced. They do heat up a bit but the gusset area breathes.

The materials feel cheap and plasticky. The upper doesn't conform well and makes a low-pitch squeak when I move.

The materials aren't a strong suit. The patent leather feels thin and flimsy. Some textile areas feel glued down and cheap, though it does conform to the foot.

The support is excellent. Double heel counters and a stiff carbon-infused shank provide strong containment and lateral stability. The harness-like frame aids launch and stability.

Support and lateral containment are strong. The midfoot plastic and sidewalls lock the foot in. The heel felt a bit laterally unstable due to the rounded, soft foam.

The fit locks down well with a substantial upper and minimal heel slippage. It breaks in quickly and feels secure, even with orthotics installed.

The fit is close and secure thanks to the half-bootie upper. There's a little dead space in the toe but no discomfort and heel lockdown is solid.

The fit is quite snug in the toebox and midfoot. The sidewalls feel firm and press inward, though it locks down securely once on.

The shoe fits snug lengthwise with low volume. The toe tip is tight and the patent leather makes it less forgiving, causing pressure over the big toe initially.

They can be used outdoors but are not ideal. The rubber is thin and will likely burn through on gritty outdoor courts. Best suited for indoor hardwood or vinyl.

Should be fine for outdoor use. I had a pleasant backyard session and saw no issues so far.

The rubber feels hard and the grooves are thick so it should hold up. Some pods have shallow grooves, so outdoor durability is questionable.

The shoe fits narrow to medium. Narrow feet will find a secure fit. Wide 4E feet may need break-in but can fit true to size.

I'm slightly wide and felt a little forefoot pressure, but the shoe should be fine for narrow, normal, and slightly wide feet.

The shoe runs narrow. The sidewalls press inward, so wide footers should size up or avoid the shoe.

The width is around normal. It's not overly narrow and doesn't squeeze the sides.

Narrow and medium footers can go true to size. If you have shorter toes, a half size down gives a more glove-like fit.

The AG5 runs true to size. Narrow and normal footers should go TTS and slightly wide footers can likely stick with their normal size.

I always go true to size with this brand. True to size is good if you prefer a snug fit.

If you don't want a super snug fit, go up half a size. I would have been better going up half a size.
