    I agree, I just got a pair of Kobe Venom 5s, real comfortable. KDTrey5's is a different story.

    These I could wear, all the other ones, not so much. I'm a old school guy, give me high tops, Converse, some old Nike / Air Jordan type stuff and I'm good to go. I do like these old Howard's Adidas:

    It was expected that Harden would be involved in the design of his sig shoe. Now that he's free from his Nike contract, he could get in the adidas lab.

    I think he'll have something ready around playoff time. Design and development of shoe technology takes a long time and I'm sure they want this shoe to be a real statement to nike

    The 2016 update look pretty terrible, or maybe it's just the color scheme.

    When is Harden getting his signature shoe? $200 million dollar better get him the sexiest shoes ever made.

    These are still my favorite adidas shoes though...

    ok so i guess they will ease him into the deal, and debut a signature line by xmas-next year or next season. i believe they did that with dame lillard. because the crazyboost light is like the generic adidas nba guard shoe. i believe adidas gave jlin the crazyboost light to wear.

    I wish the adidas logo in the back was more subtle.

    The whole shoe is so simple (which I like). I think you need the bold logo in the back.

    That white shoes harden was wearing look like his Nike shoes he wore last year with Adidas on the back lol. Not surprised I'm sure harden wants all his shoes to be low top like that

    generic and boring... doubt Addidas will continue to languish if this is their big roll out.

    Addidas better design a signature shoe for Harden that is much more interesting and captivating than these if they want to recoup ANY of the 200 million they'll invest in him.

    Until they do, they'll continue to fall behind Under Armour (passed adidas last year in sales of sports apparel) and even Sketchers (passed Adidas this year in total sneaker sales/market share).
