    you might have to dig for some of the ones he wears as some are just specifically customed for him and not all of them are sold to the public

    ****** used the 1st half of the season to get into shape.

    Great to know that millions of dollars and 40 minutes 5 times a week isn't worth asking to stay in shape for.

    Hope he learns his lesson this off season.

    If he puts on another 30 pounds then yes.

    Harden's dream came true this summer when he nailed the $200 million contract with Adidas and getting all those commercials from other companies.

    Harden's said last summer was his dream come true because of all the endorsement he received last year after winning the MVP.

    Curry had a nightmare summer on the other hand because he was getting to much endorsement offers and couldn't spend all day with his family:


    "When he was swamped with demands after the Warriors won the championship last June, he insisted Ayesha, Riley and Ryan come on the road with him to his appearances, though his youngest daughter was just a newborn. “It was a whirlwind and he had so many obligations, but he wanted his family with him,” Ayesha says.

    Curry has dramatically scaled back his commitments. The offers still come in “on an almost daily basis,” Austin says, but mostly, the answer is no. His deals with State Farm and Express recently concluded, and he won’t renew. Instead, going forward Curry has prioritized a few lucrative contracts that feel true to him and bespeak a clean message. There are no candy or fast food commercials; instead he endorses Brita water filters. And of course Under Armour, which renegotiated to give him equity in the company and a royalty-cut of his sneaker sales. If he takes on anything new it will be something that offers him a stake, and doesn’t require a lot of appearances, or photo and video shoots.

    “Honestly right now his priority is on staying balanced,” Austin says. “Our goal is to get his life back.”:

    Shoes today look like cheap shoes from the 90s and they are super hyped for such plain looking shoes.

    My daughter plays in the black/silver version of these, having played in red/silver previous version (with laces down the center). She loves them, as she is a very fast PG and doesn't like the weight or lack of flex in hightops (her school uses Hyperdunks). She started wearing lows after seeing my Kobes. My only concern is the lack of sole flare that is on the Kobes (and the newer Harden has less of a flare than the older Hardens she first wore).

    She initially didn't like the offset lacing but after a game or two never mentioned it.

    She hasn't had any ankle issues the past two and half years wearing lows. Don't know what shoe she will wear next season... she doesn't like Addidas so the new Hardens are out. She might try the Curry lows or whatever new Nikes come closest to the old Hardens.

    Okay.

    NOW Adidas is worried.

    They don't want to see their Flagship Spokesman trashed everywhere.
