    Harden looks like he’s wearing a new model tonight. Any good pics of them?

    I actually see some NBA player who signed with Adidas wear Harden 1s this year. Kelly Oubre jr wearing them on Christmas was the most recent memory.

    Oubre been wearing them since last year. I have seen them here and there but surprisingly not too often. Mostly the crazy explosive

    Look on the bright side, Vol. 1's will be a lot cheaper.

    Yeah the vol 2 looks like a Team Harden shoe. I think this shoe has court performance more on the forefront. It looks way lighter without the toe box wrap that was either leather or some sort of heavy duty suede on the Vol 1. The vol 2 actually looks like it’s the vol 1 without the toe box wrap.

    Angled heel cup and higher cut for better heel lockdown. That tongue does looks like it’ll slice up some ankles, so mid cut socks at the very least are a must.

    Thicker full boost midsole with leather(?) outsole layer wrapping all the way to the back of the heel. Better traction I guess?

    Seems like adidas wanted to introduce a new “customizable” lacing system with a neoprene-looking panel of multiple lace eyelets.

    Primeknit, boost, outsole leather, and the neoprene-looking lace panel. All light material.

    I’ll bet Harden and adidas decided to make his sig shoe the best basketball performance shoe on the market. Then allow Janes to be more hands-on with design on the LS line.

    Looks like the paneled custom lacing system is a thing for adidas. It’s featured on these golf shoes too

    Right on man. The second we become scared of other people’s opinions, or even their methods, the second we ban what could be valuable insight.

    I’ll read 99 **** posts if the next one has a view I had never considered. Happens pretty often around here.

    Looks like a mixture of Curry's and Lillards... just trash.

    I like that the Vol. 2 doesn’t have that toe box at least
