    I've actually been thinking of picking up the CP3.X's cause he is a Rocket now lol.

    Boost is just so much easier on your legs tho

    i told users on this forum that Adidas has been killing it and taking more market shares from Nike. A lot of the Nike designers moved to Adidas and that has made a big impact and Adidas has been having the right people collaborating and endorsing the brand. Not only that but their boost technology and their focus on casual wear. People don't wear basketball shoes everywhere anymore, and people prefer comfortable and good looking casual shoes which Adidas has been cranking out.

    BTW what did the footlocker employee say?

    Boost>>>

    also, Adidas has definitely been killing it lately

    I see a lot of Harden's on the court when I'm hooping, I'm thinking about copping a pair

    I started buying more Adidas about a year ago and I don't regret it

    Harden's are great shoes. There's a little break in time if you get a pair with leather on it, but if you get an all mesh/knit pair then they're great straight out of the box

    I'll cop the mesh/knit pair then, I've been wanting to get some Harden's for a minute but just haven't...I see all different types of color ways when I'm on the court, it had to be 1 of the most popular basketball shoes out this past year

    honestly, Harden joining Adidas is what made me look at them more seriously and really start to check out what they've got

    you always hear how Nike is greater than everything and just sh*ts on the other brands, but nah, Adidas is rising...not surprised at all that they've surpassed Jordan Brand

    Are they going to come out with a Harden Vol. 2 for this upcoming season? If they are, there's been zero buzz about it.

    He was like "ugh, no we still sell a lot of Jordan's but adidas has been selling a lot and we had to up our shelfs".

    I used to be such a Jordan guy even his casuals.

    But the adidas has been fire lately.

    The boost technology is just superior to anything imo

    yea I used to be into Jordans but outside of their retros, nothing was good in design to me. Then Jordan started to saturate the market by releasing so many J's and their exclusiveness was gone and their hype died. Not only that but they increase price and quality actually went down for most of their releases.

    The traction is really good even on dusty courts. That's a reason why many shoes that are popular are popular.

    Are they true to size or would it be recommended to go like a half size down or something?

    I love my NMD's for walking on concrete. I exercise a lot so my shins are sore often and it sucks to walk all day on concrete/asphalt with shoes that dont have Boost.

    I'd recommend going and actually trying them on with the socks you hoop in. It will most likely be a half size down but they fit different for different types of feet.

    I'll say TTS. You can probably even go down half a size.

    saw this on Reddit

    Could those be the Harden Vol. 2's? There's been zero buzz about it. I really hope those are just some prototypes or an initial design that got scrapped because they look real ugly.
