Trae Young 4 collaboration features thoughtful design and quality materials, but lacks classic silhouette appeal with inconsistent workmanship; current high prices driven solely by scarcity rather than product value
Thoughtful shoebox design with signature co-branding elements and textured gravel pattern base reflecting strong brand storytelling
Upper materials feature genuine leather and pixel textile; green sections use premium cow leather with strong brush texture and quality construction
Shoe silhouette design shows disproportionate toe box; though real product better than official images, the proportions remain harmonically unbalanced compared to classic AJ4
Workmanship issues including uneven finishing, excess glue, crooked toe box, and perfunctory insole; resale prices inflated to 2000-4000 yuan purely due to extremely limited inventory
Trae Young 4 is an avant-garde and high-performance basketball shoe with excellent stability and ankle support, particularly suitable for indoor wooden court environments
Cutting-edge design with striking mint green colorway, considered the handsomest shooting shoe of the year
Excellent performance with dual-material outsole, strong braking feel, outstanding heel locking system stability, sufficient ankle wrapping, ideal for players requiring shoe stability
Uneven outsole surface (reviewer argues this is not a real flaw as feet are naturally uneven
No other significant drawbacks mentioned in the video
The 361 Degree Big 3 Quick 4.5 is a high-value inaugural performance shoe with soft, comfortable feel, excellent traction, lightweight design, and versatile court adaptability
The engineered mesh upper with zoned heat-pressing offers excellent accommodation for wide feet and high-arched users without compression
The 361 Degree Wing Blade foam midsole provides well-balanced cushioning with smooth feedback, balancing comfort and on-court agility
The insole length runs slightly long; wide-foot wearers can go true-to-size, but narrow-foot players may need to size down
No significant drawbacks identified; overall performance is well-rounded without notable issues

The adidas Trae Young 4 released in late 2024 and rolled out across twelve colorways through Spring 2025 at a 130 dollar retail price. Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young's fourth signature continued the line's guard-oriented blueprint, with full-length Lightstrike foam providing a responsive low-profile ride and herringbone rubber covering the outsole. The engineered mesh upper kept weight low, and the silhouette emphasized cutting and shooting motion over impact protection for bigger players. While detailed performance reviews lagged behind release coverage, retailers like SnkrDunk and KicksOnFire documented the wide colorway range and the shoe's solid retail demand. The Trae Young 4 confirmed Trae's place as one of adidas Basketball's most consistent signature athletes, with each model continuing to ship at a price-accessible tier.
