A light, fast non-plated trainer at a budget price
The 361 MIRONUDE SL is my favourite 361° shoe so far: a light, responsive non-plated trainer that really shines at faster paces. My Full Review verdict is RECOMMENDED: a solid tempo, interval and non-plated race-day option, particularly when it is on sale.
It is not a perfect shoe. The tongue on early pairs can irritate, and the firm ride will not suit runners who want a soft, plush feel. My review places it in the ₱3,500–4,000 range; actual prices depend on the seller, size and sale.
What works well
- Fast and light: around 230 g in my US 10, very light for a non-plated trainer and close to super shoe territory.
- Shines at faster paces: it really comes alive around 4:30–5:00/km, helped by its responsive foam and rocker.
- Stable for a light shoe: the midfoot TPU shank adds stability without acting like a propulsion plate.
- Strong value: a non-plated tempo, interval and race-day option in the ₱3,500–4,000 range, earning a RECOMMENDED verdict.
Keep in mind
- Tongue irritation: my early pair had a roughly cut tongue edge that pricked during the first fitting; later batches and the 1.5 look cleaner.
- Firm ride: it has bounce, but runners who want a soft, plush daily trainer may find it too firm.
- Sizing gaps on version 1: no half sizes above US 10; I went with US 10 instead of my usual 10.5.
- Prices move: the video and review quote historical prices, not a current offer.
Ride, fit and daily use
After 80 km of testing, the MIRONUDE SL became my favourite 361° shoe so far. It is a non-plated trainer aimed at faster running: the CQT Extreme foam feels a bit firm but has the kind of bounce you get from non-plated trainers like the Adidas Adizero EVO SL, and the rocker helps you roll through at tempo pace. Compared with the EVO SL, I give the edge in responsiveness to the adidas and the edge in stability to the MIRONUDE SL; it has its own identity rather than being a straight copy.
The upper is a thin, light and breathable mesh, which is where most of the weight savings come from. The fit is a bit wide, especially in the forefoot, as with many Chinese running shoes. My US 10 was almost perfect even though I usually wear a 10.5, because the thin upper compensates. If you want a roomier fit, go up half a size where available. Set your mind on it being a fast shoe and it fits best as a tempo and interval trainer, and even a non-plated race-day shoe.

Stack figures are quoted specifications, not our own measurements, and may not include the thick RPU outsole, so the shoe rides taller than the numbers suggest.
