Adidas has officially announced the launch of James Harden‘s next signature shoe, the Harden Vol. 8. First unveiling the shoe at a game at Madison Square Garden in November for his debut with the Los Angeles Clippers, Harden’s new show is true to his promise of creating a shoe reflective to his distinct and bold style.
A basketball shoe fit for performance on-court and off-court lifestyle wear, the shoe is inspired by Harden’s vision. Pushing for versatility, the shoe also arrives with new high performance features. It includes a conforming internal cuff for a dynamic fit and comfort on and off the court as well as a teardrop EVA cage that gives the wearer lateral support for agile movements. The full-length of the sole uses JET BOOST technology for maximum energy return and the mulit-directional “JH” traction is unparalleled, giving a superior grip on the court for every play.
Made to stand out, Harden said in a statement, “I want people to recognize my shoes from a mile away.” The Harden Vol. 8 shoes will arrive in an assortment of colorways starting on February 23, 2024 throughout the rest of the year online at adidas and select retailers for $160 USD.
