James Harden Switches Up His Signature Silhouette on the All-New adidas Harden Vol. 11

James Harden is never one for stagnation. Sure, the Cleveland guard might spend a lot of time dribbling at the top of the floor, but when the time comes, The Beard is explosive, either to the rim or on his patented step-back jumper. And after two consecutive signature silhouettes in the same general shape, Harden is ready to step up into a new look.

Uno the Unc

In the middle of a “summer’s been great” Instagram dump from Harden (he just recently got the internet), the Cleveland star posted a photo of himself holding a brand new adidas signature silhouette, previewing the upcoming Harden Vol. 11 in white and blue.

Starting with a white base, the electric blue shade flows across the upper from toe to heel. On the toebox, a modified “M” shape stretches over the front for support, while waves of blue TPU on the side panels look like a tsunami springing up from the heel. The wave shape keeps a bit of the rippling accent motif from the Harden Vol. 10, and on the tongue, an UNO logo adds a blue-to-white gradient that shifts at the back of the “O,” leaving “Unc” in blue as a subtle nod to Harden’s vet status in the league and the sneaker industry.
