361 Zen 7 Review
Pros:
Excellent traction
Responsive cushioning
Cons:
Snug fit for some
Low stack height
Performance of the 361 Zen 7:
The 361 Zen 7 delivers strong on-court performance for the price. It's a great bang-for-your-buck shoe.
The traction is outstanding on clean indoor courts. It picks up minimal dust, so wiping works wonders.
Underfoot, the midsole is bouncy and responsive while staying low to the ground. Impact protection is also solid.
Containment and stability feel reliable thanks to an external heel counter and a stable base. Reviewers reported no slippage on lateral moves.
The upper uses leather across the midfoot and quality textile elsewhere. Reviewers found the materials durable and comfortable.
The fit runs snug using a half-bootie construction. Heel padding adds comfort and eliminates dead space. It feels like a 1-to-1 fit.
Overall, the 361 Zen 7 is a great basketball shoe with excellent traction.

For $110, the 361 Zen 7 is an amazing performer. Traction, cushioning, materials, and support are all excellent. You get a lot of features for the money, and I highly recommend picking a pair up.

The 361 Zen 7 is a solid, budget-friendly performer. Tooling, cushioning, and support punch above the price. The upper is basic but breathable. Not flashy, but a strong value and versatile performer.

The 361 Zen 7 is a fantastic shoe. It delivers a smooth, low-to-the-ground ride with excellent indoor traction and a secure fit. My main concern is outdoor durability.

Traction is phenomenal. The herringbone pattern grips really well on indoor courts. It should be good to go from the start.

The cushioning is super lightweight and ultra bouncy. The midfoot 'soaring' loading zone compresses nicely. You get a springy launch and decent court feel.

The cushioning feels nice. It's responsive and bouncy from front to back. Landings feel safe, and transitions are very smooth.

The materials feel substantial. You get a TPU textile forefoot and a strong two-layer heel counter, though it holds some heat until it breaks in.

The upper is basic textiles and synthetic overlays. Nothing premium, but breathable, comfortable, durable, and requires little break-in.

The materials feel a little cheap in hand, and the mesh base with a leather trim isn't premium. Breathability isn't bad, and nothing pinched my feet.

I personally had zero support issues. The external heel counter and heel padding eliminated slippage. A wide base and outrigger help with hard lateral movements, and torsional stability feels solid.

Lockdown is confident with no heel slippage. A full shank and thick heel counter provide solid protection and lateral stability.

Support is very solid. A wide, stable base plus a torsion plate and a massive 270-degree TPU heel counter give great lockdown and ankle support.

Torsional support is a weakness. The upper bends easily, and lateral containment isn't the best on hard cuts. The large TPU heel counter helps with lockdown.

The fit feels comfortable with lockdown and minimal heel slippage. There's a bit more lateral volume, but it hugs the foot once broken in.

The outsole held up on the durability test. It should work well on outdoor courts despite a low durometer.

The rubber feels really soft, and its durability is questionable. I'm skeptical of their claim of 30% more durability.
