    Wow - first time seeing those. I want them but the internet tells me I'm too late. If Hardens shoe is anywhere in that vein, I'm getting them immediately.

    Nike Roshe copy. Two ugly ass shoes. Look like Ham Samiches. They sold because Kanye name sake..but the High top Yeezy look much better. They keep making shoes that look like that and Jordan will remain the cream of the crop.

    ok

    Ill give you that..they do look a lil better than the Roche. But they are only a hot show :)confused:) because they are cheap. Trust, if you buy a pair of Air Jordans for your kid on Christmas they will smile ear to ear. If you buy that Roche they gonna look at you like you wiped **** on em. But the Yeezys are gonna sell off his name alone. Thats why i said earlier i hope Kanye makes Hardens shoe.

    250-300... on par with nikes and jordans...

    What do I care? I am still not a sneaker guy...
    I'd rather see harden look fly on the court! :D

    I'm also interested to see what kinda logo they make for Harden. I saw one suggestion on reddit to have an HJ with the J going underneath the H to make a beard, which I thought could be a cool idea if executed right.

    These are nice. Nicer compared to JW's.

    I think James' signature sneaker will end up being a sleeker version of their new knit low-tops.

    Ideally they give him a 3 Stripes version of the Kobe 8.

    Why does Wall's shoes get so much hate? I would definitely rock these in a low or mid.

    Tim Duncan's all star shoes were dope too.

    I like Wall's shoes. Specifically the away navy blue/white ones.

    I feel like Harden won't have ugly shoes. He's very creative and that's what this whole business between him and Adidas is based around. Harden's creativity. Adidas has some pretty creative people on its roster, but unfortunately most of them aren't hoopers.

    Adidas does show they they themselves can creative pretty nice looking shoes. At least casual or running shoes. Not so much on basketball shoes, but I blame the athletes on that.

    These are just some recent Adidas footwear

    Now those are look cool, right? At least sort of cool? Those aren't made by athletes like Lillard, Rose, Dwight or Wall. None of those guys seem like guys who are genuinely interested in innovative fashion like Harden is.

    Here is the basketball shoe most Adidas players will be wearing. Except this one has a twist on it. It will be a Minnesota Timberwolves Andrew Wiggins colorway. Yes, the number 1 pick in the 2014 draft is signed by Adidas, and he has his own colorway which is VERY interesting.

    Now, they're pretty good, right? They'll look good on Wiggins when he's playing on the road, right? The Canadian maple leaf being patterned over the shoe doesn't look ugly at all. His logo isn't ugly either. AW with a maple leaf in the A. These are probably the shoes James Harden will wear next season. They're called Adidas Crazylight boost 2015s and he'll like get his own white/red home and red/yellow away versions as soon as October comes. Harden likely won't come out with his very own signature shoe until next season or when he turns 27. Much like Stephen Curry.

    I trust Adidas and Harden to make fashionable BUT elite basketball performance shoes.

    Adidas biggest weakness is creating high tops shoes. They are all painfully ugly. But I really like their low tops. Harden will have a lot of cool color ways dropping throughout the season. Hopefully they also work on signature socks.

    i hope adidas gets their **** together and comes out with some bomb ass shoes for harden.

    do something new... not like tmac with the wires... but something new - he's your new face, if they want to compete with nike/jordan and these new asia brands they gotta step up their game

    that and they need to mirror the nike sizes in apparel
