Zen 8 Golden Hour

The 361° ZEN 8 “Golden Hour” basketball shoes are designed to support players during the most dynamic phases of the game, combining cushioning, responsiveness, stability, and traction. The model features CQT QU!K and QU!K LIGHT technologies, integrated into a dual midsole structure, together with an ENGINEERED KNIT upper and a DIAMOND GRIP rubber outsole.

The ZEN 8 delivers a fast and responsive feel with every step, supporting accelerations, jumps, and changes of direction with cushioning designed to effectively absorb impact.

• CQT QU!K + QU!K LIGHT: The ZEN 8 combines two cushioning technologies within the midsole, designed to provide a balance between comfort and responsiveness. Energy return of up to 70% promotes a dynamic response underfoot, ideal during accelerations, jumps, and quick take-offs.
• ENGINEERED KNIT BIOMIMETIC: The upper uses a structure inspired by the natural shape of the foot, designed to provide lightweight comfort and breathability. The material follows the foot’s movements, ensuring a comfortable fit and balanced support.
• MULTI-SECTION SUPPORT: The upper features a multi-section construction designed to wrap around the foot and keep it stable inside the shoe. The structure improves containment during changes of direction, sudden stops, and lateral movements.
• DIAMOND GRIP: The rubber outsole uses a specially designed pattern that combines grip with abrasion resistance. The structure provides reliable traction during sprints, stops, and changes of direction, making it particularly suitable for outdoor use as well.
• NYLON SHANK + TPU SUPPORT: The structure incorporates a nylon shank in the midfoot area and a lateral TPU element, designed to increase support and stability. The combination improves control during torsional movements, lateral movements, and high-intensity actions.
• AARON GORDON DESIGN: The initials on the rear section define the look of the ZEN 8 and highlight its connection with the NBA player.
