361º Eleos

[@clydedexter9154]

I can't believe that the cheaper 361 options aren't available in the US website. Here is Asia, we have an alternative for the Vaporfly line up for less than half the price. It's called 361 flame. Full carbon plate as well.

[@joshhutton9534]

Flame 3.0 is available in the US

[@thecaptainchas2820]

I was very impressed with the Eleos. I think it’s the sleeper hit for 2024. I’ve taken it on workouts, base runs, and more than one 20-miler, and the midsole response holds up from first step to last step. Also the most set-it-and-forget it lockdown I’ve had if any of the shoes I’ve tested this year. Amazing value for $145 USD.

[@jazzyjay4595]

I was sponsored by 361° from 2017 to 2020, their shoes have come a long way and only getting better! Their racing shoe, the Furious Futura 1.5 is actually extremely competitive in the carbon plated world.

[@juanpinca1716]

361 flame v2 owner here. Great value for money 👍

[@ben7286]

So glad my man started reviewing some of the Chinese running shoes. They’ve been improving massively for the last couple of years and have become just as good. But runners in the west simply lack info and access to them yet.

[@AnotherElDuderino]

Once again, great review. Loved the scenic footage at the end there 👌

[@kofuzi]

thanks!

[@DemSangines]

WOW, thank you Kofuzi. As a long-time subscriber and fan, I never imagined that you would review 361. I've been using 361 for 3 years now. I own Flame 2, 3, ST, and Furious Future. All are excellent shoes. I hope you have the opportunity to review Furious Future, as it is currently available on the USA site. I also hope that 361 will release the Flame 3 and their other affordable plated shoes in the West.

[@joshhutton9534]

Flame 3.0 is available

[@christopherjudegantuangco4173]

You should try the 361° Flame 3.0 they say its like the Vaporfly 😅

[@ivannsicam8466]

Love this review! As someone from south east asia, I've been hearing about 361 degrees for a while now but have been very skeptical to buy them - and this review kinda removed some of that skepticism! Would be nice if you could review their daily trainers like the centauri.

[@lloyddavis2588]

I've been running in 361 degrees for several years and love them. I've run in the Strata 3, Strata 4, and Strata 5. I also have run in the Yushan 2 and now 3 trial running shoe and it has become one of my favorites.

[@predasaurusrex]

Great review. I hope you could also review their Flame 3.0 which is comparable to Nike Vaporfly.

[@jm-yc5tc]

[@JaysKG]

in the asian market, they have several running models such as: flame 3.0, biospeed 3.0 pro, flame et, biospeed future, furious future, carbonstride, fast wind, etc. however, there are only few english reviews the 361 shoe that you'd hopefully review next would be the flame 3.0, biospeed 3.0, biospeed future, and flame et (if they are all available in your market) great reviews as always. thank you

[@kofuzi]

I generally limit my reviews to shoes that are available in the US. I'll see what I can find

[@GearheadsAutofab]

Was looking to replace my on cloud eclipse for long run shoe….took the risk with the 361 eleos, bought it in a 1/2 size big, probably could have bought true to size, loved the run and comfort easily picked up my pace and it rolls forward very well to moderate paces. What a grate price too.

[@MarkSmith_Best-Athletics]

I purchased the original 361 Flame around the time of it's release and it is a great and quick tempo shoe. I also purchased the Futura after trying them on a short trail run when at a 361 event at a local store where I also tried the Flame v2. The Futura is a nice road to trail cruiser) if the trails are fairly dry and not overly technical, although I have been wearing my Futura as a street shoe as it is the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn for long days on your feet. Think that they will last a long time and be great walking shoes in all conditions due to the fairly chunky and grippy Vibram soles. The Flame 3 or Furious Future could be worth trying and the Centauri 2 (as I have heard good things about the original Centauri).

[@ColinBloodworth]

Never heard of 361! Appreciate seeing the review as always, Mike.

[@Martin-kc1xj]

LOL 0:30 I thought you were about to start singing

[@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183]

True, so funny 😂

[@holger567]

Have the 361 Flame and love it for Marathon races… there should be a new generation released. So that could be your next 361 review…

[@guillaumebourassa3800]

When we talk of a lot of room in the upper would you consider 361 to be large fitting in all mean or not at all. I’m used to wear wide shoe and I wonder if 361 could be a good option. Thanks in advance

[@fastrax1949]

361 shoes, for both road and trail, sell really well here in The Complete Runner UK and we get zero returns! The quality is unbreatable. We're waiting for new swason's shoes coming in later this month. A much antipated support mdel, the Phoenix, new Meraki 6 (neutral) Centauri 2 and on the trail a WP version of the Futura and Lynx. However our UK offering does not include this Eleos which after further investigation may be a UK shoe rebranded.

[@spartanB0292]

That's the thing as well with Chinese brands. I can only understand English reviews, but shoes are sold under their Chinese names in my country. It's a bunch of work to figure out what shoe models are the same when the western and Chinese names tend to be different.

[@brainkale]

Love that generation of FuelCell, so soft and pleasant. Though super soft foams like that don't last very long so I'm interested in how these fare after 200 miles

[@eg-mak9651]

361 degrees Flame 3 is I would say most South East asian's alternative to Vaporfly. We call it a Budget Super shoe. I would suggets please take a look some of much higher performance shoes of 361 degrees like "361° Future" & "361° Miro". If by any chance Mr.kofuzi you can also check some of 361 ° competitors like "XTEP", "ANTA", "QUIODAN" & "LI NING". 😊

[@laalaa99stl]

Ha! I totally predicted the comparison with the Nimbus as soon as you stated the weight. Not my type of shoe. I disfavor the entire max cush genre and prefer lighter, faster ones even for recovery such as NB3/NB4 and Cloudsurfer 7 (my fave). Still. Orange and grey is one of my favorite color combos. I agree it'd make a great pair of streets.

[@Len1977gt]

Hey Kofuzi, I know this is a whole different type of shoe, but have you heard anything about the when the Hoka Bondi 9 might release? I can't find anything anywhere on it, and the Bondi 8 has been out since the summer of 2022, so they are due to release the new version soon

[@PatrickDelaCruz-gu8of]

Hi, is this wide foot friendly? Especially runner with wide toebox

[@jradd77]

Been eyeing their Futura trail sneaker

[@emmanuelnocete135]

The flame 3.0 is a pretty cheap racing shoe that's popular here where I live, hoping you could review the shoe

[@guysmith9353]

I ordered a pair today!

[@caleballen8862]

I wanna see a review on the flame 3. Shoe looks pretty interesting

[@tgarcia615]

Idol What's up? ,The 361 Brand here in the Philippines its getting famous little by little..i didn't comment much but im still watching your video everyday Take care brother.

[@kofuzi]

thanks for watching!

[@Josh-u6y]

Will there be a review on the Brooks Hyperion 2?

[@toshaks]

Any mention of this compared to NB Fresh Foam X More v4/v5? I hear you mention it's a good max cushion but doesn't seem to be visible in any comparisons.

[@kofuzi]

my comparisons are not meant to be exhaustive. the Eleos is different than the More v4 in many of the same ways that the Nimbus and Cloudeclipse are different than the Move v4

You dont have 361 flame 3 there?!

[@KeeperCode]

Been really curious about this brand but there aren't any physical stores where I'm from so I'm pretty hesitant to buy them online

[@spartanB0292]

Seems like the Eleos is a 361 US only release, because I can't find anything about it on the shopping sites in Southeast Asia. Even messaged one of the two 361 locations in my country, they didn't seem to understand what I was talking about. If it does ever release here at the US SRP, it would be incredibly expensive compared to their other models. Anyway, it's eerie how similiar it looks to the Nimbus 25.

[@LaughWithTheJoke]

It's also not coming to Europe. Talked to the customer service.

[@JLC698]

Philippines has it on shoppee

[@rinzunokadota3044]

Is this good for a wide and flat feet?

[@kemalluxia8305]

After this please review 361° Flame 3.0

[@predasaurusrex]

i second this. i just got my flame 3.0 the other day and havent run with it yet but its definitely comparable to vaporflys already

[@atletangpuyat2554]

please review their carbon shoe, the Flame 3

[@garethevans2499]

That's because On Shoes are basically aimed at the casual user. #controversial would also be curious to see a review on the Li-Ning Feidian 4 Ultra as well (although appreciate most of the review would be taken up by saying the shoe's name twice)

[@yeovr3502]

Pls review 361 Flame 3.0

[@amoslee3923]

How is it compared to NB More V4?

[@Manuel_712]

Thanks Kofuzi. Here is my Like. I prefer Saucony, Asics, NB, Adidas, Mizuno, Brooks. Have a good day.

[@Manuel_712]

@Cutieplus . Hi. Thank you for this information. I don´t see many chinese brand in Spain.

[@mptan6022]

Hope you can review 361 Flame 3.0. I ordered it online as it is not available in my country; got it for around USD$90 after discounts.

[@earvinandrewdepedro9776]

I hope you can review 361 degrees Flame 3.0. 😊

[@macau.friend]

I love 361 running shoes not because they are the best but because they have really good price to value. That’s why I am kind of surprised at how much more expensive they are in the US than in China. Having said that though, I still highly recommend them. And please give the Furious Future 1.5 a try. Many said it gives a similar experience as the Adizero Pro but at a more affordable price.

[@adventuresoftony1094]

Please make a review of 361 degrees of a daily trainer category., Thanks

[@bpotato3310]

i loveeeee anta g21 pro 2 it does everything for me. Cushion i can use speed bit

please review the flame or biospeed line

[@swastikprusty]

Hi kofuzi, i currently have the endorphin speed 4, rebel v4, salomon hypulse for trail and winflos for recovery in rotation.. I need recommendation for a wider speed trainer the speed 4 is great but my pinky rubs against the uper and burns up after 3-4 k rebels are a perfect but they are not for tempo runs cause of the softness..

Also tried the boston 12 in the store. They didnt fit, even going up 2 sizes

Glideride 3 vibes all over it or am i wrong?

[@kofuzi]

hmmmm. interesting

[@russellbutt1553]

That is exactly where I thought he was going with the first comparison...

[@WiseGuyFTW]

that heel outsole is screaming achilles issues for me. So many shoes these days have this plague of uneven heel support in the outsole and I have had so many achilles issues because of it.

[@jazzyjay4595]

Bold assumption. I was think it’s a weakness in your Achilles more than just some shaping of an outsole 😂

[@WiseGuyFTW]

@@jazzyjay4595 Trail and hill running puts your achilles through more stress than road running, I have put several hundred miles in Hoka Speedgoat and Hoka Clifton and never had these issues. The pain I get around achilles insertion to the heel bone is due to poor / uneven heel support. So it is not an assumption.

[@jazzyjay4595]

@@WiseGuyFTW what is it that you’re referring to as “uneven heel support”? The shoe having a slight bevel to the outside of the heel? Or the heel cup? Neither one of those should matter for putting strain on the achilles

[@AysBerr]

can this be a walking shoes?

[@kofuzi]

yes. a bit on the mushy side for extended continuous walking, but way comfortable

[@ksteege]

Do you think the initial squish is a sensation is from some of the Ortholite insole? How thick is the Ortholite?

[@kofuzi]

it's too much for it to be the ortholite

[@Jackson_Zhang]

a Chinese brand，interesting😄

[@laalaa99stl]

The Chinese have such a long, sordid history of buying reviews that I was also a bit surprised Mr. Fuzi would risk his reputation reviewing one -- even with full disclosure.

[@spartanB0292]

​@@laalaa99stl AFAIK, 361 in the US is highly independent from 361 in China. I don't doubt at all that the 361 in China buys reviews, but I'm pretty sure they don't even know that Kofuzi exists.

[@weiwei8072]

@@laalaa99stlblind accusation, can you name one instance of “buying reviews”. China holds thousands of road races with over million finishers, most of them wear brands you’ve never heard of. Ironically, Hoka Adidas Saucony have all given shoes away for promotion in China, not to influencers but users once they gain a certain amount of likes on socials such as WeChat.

[@jasonsee9548]

Can.u review the 361 flame 3.0 carbon plate?.. cuz many filipino people or some other people looking for the cheaper price but yet its affordable value kind of carbon plated shoe for marathon run..thank you 🫶🏻

[@freeking4291]

This one seems decent , BUT I'll NEVER spend my money on those Chinese freaks, such as Lining, Qiandan, Xtep, Anta... Why? Coz every one of them don't give a heck about the true passion of development, once the real one comes up with something brilliant, they just copy it then price it 70% as real ones, fck up the market, collecting money then put on some other crazy business. I'll always stand with those brands with credit that I can spot in real dope marathon races or Diamond League stadiums.

[@Sabundy]

Not sure what on earth you are talking about.....Li-Ning and Anta are doing some of the most innovative stuff in basketball shoes. Especially design wise.

[@admiralrng6506]

Li-ning Wade stuff is pre good actually so idk what you're talking about

[@davidl17_]

I would say the Chinese brands do innovate, but they are rarely the brand to "invent" something. (some may argue the Li-ning basketball the carbon plate infuse with boom bla bla bla. But the Boom, aka boost, is from Germany BASF and adidas implement it first in a great shoes call EnergyBoost, and tbh, those carbon "infusion" is still just carbon plate in between midsole with adjustment of size and position, just extra steps but not really very new invention imo). But credit to chinese brands is that even they kinda copy overseas brands but they excel on improving the stuff based on the blueprint (or from what they copy) they got. And the pricing issue is in some extent because of internal economy problem in China, so they seem extra cheap. Personally, i have great respect on what chinese brands are doing but i don't buy stuffs from Chinese brands because of other reasons.

[@skseeker7030]

361 released the Miro Nude which weight only 110 grams. Lighter than Adidas Pro Evo 1. Your argument is invalid.

[@davidl17_]

Removing more weight vs adidas only....is this a "new" invention? Not to mention the one you mention have way less stack of foam vs adidas, and the IDEA of this kind of extreme light racing shoes was released by adidas last year September, the one you mention is released recently. What i saw is the other Chinese brands followed what Adidas is doing only. But credit to 361 to try to beat the weight.
