The AG4 Soar will debut in four colorways inspired by important aspects of Aaron Gordon’s life. The AG4 ‘Someday’ introduces a captivating colorway inspired by Aaron Gordon's journey and dream of being a professional basketball player. This personal anecdote was taken from a childhood painting Gordon created where he wrote, ‘Someday’ I’ll be a pro basketball player.”

The ‘Ice Blade’ design pays homage to Aaron’s mother, a figure skater, while the ‘Be Water’ colorway is inspired by his idol, Bruce Lee. The final ‘Cosmic Energy’ colorway draws inspiration from astronomy and the idea that our energy is limitless, like black holes. Designed to excel, the AG4 showcases the latest performance technology from 361°. Key features include: 

  • CQT Fiber Mesh upper features a carbon yarn compound, striking the perfect balance between lightweight design and reliable support.
  • QU!KLOCK lacing system seamlessly incorporates TPU elements, enhancing lockdown and midfoot stability. 
  • QU!KBALANCE Sidewalls integrate extended TPU panels to guarantee optimal lateral protection during dynamic movements. 
  • Drop In QU!KCQTECH Midsole utilizes an innovative QU!KFOAM cushioning compound created by 361° that delivers unparalleled comfort and instant energy return. 
  • SOARPLAT3 delivers better resistance and torsion support than conventional carbon fiber plates.

In honor of the AG4 Soar debut, 361° and Aaron Gordon have collaborated with KICKS CREW as the exclusive global launch partner, harnessing the platform's reputation for delivering a borderless shopping experience to consumers across the globe.
