James Harden

The Beard, as he's popularly known, James Harden's shoes are a reflection of his dynamic playstyle. His signature line with adidas is a testament to his versatility on the court, featuring both style and substance, much like the player himself. The adidas Harden Vol. 7 is the pinnacle of the series with its advanced construction including Lightstrike and Jet Boost cushioning. This not only makes the sneaker ultra-lightweight but provides optimal comfort for on-the-court play. Also adding to its performance is the bootie construction, providing a secure fit when underfoot.

Issue series is almost set to unveil its fifth iteration with the D.O.N. Issue #5. Though this version of Donovan’s line has yet to be released, and its tech specs remain under wraps, the D.O.N. Issue #4 is still one of the best sneakers from adidas’ lineup. Internally, the sole unit features Lightstrike Strobel cushioning for a super-light, yet, energy-returning feel while the Lightlock upper provides the ultimate lockdown with its snug fit. You can’t forget the outsole’s traction which is designed by Donovan.

Currently onto the third iteration of the adidas Trae Young series, the adidas Trae Young 3 celebrates Trae Young’s futuristic style of play while optimizing motion and stability. The engineered mesh on the upper pairs perfectly with the neoprene bootie inside and the dual-cushioned sole unit.
