During the NBA All-Star festivities back in February, James Harden was spotted wearing a pink pony hair-covered rendition of his latest signature model with adidas, the adidas Harden Vol. 9. While this pair will remain exclusive to the Clippers superstar, the public will have a shot at securing a pony hair colorway of the Harden Vol. 9 in Fall 2025 with the Blue Pony rendition.
Unlike other colorways of the Vol. 9, which typically come with a mesh base layer and leather overlays, this pair opts for a single pony hair panel that coats the sneaker from the toe back to the heel. Still, the molded wavy linear pattern on the midfoot remains, but gone are the slash cutouts that reveal the mesh base layer. Contrasting this blue rush hue are black hits on the lace set, neoprene bootie, and the pull tabs on the tongue and heel.
Harden branding is reserved for the insole and the heel tab, featuring a V9 logo and Harden’s “H” design, respectively. Final branding details are found on the spine of the heel, where a black Three Stripes logo wraps up from the tonal blue rush rubber outsole. Inside, the sneaker is cushioned with Lightstrike and Lightboost.
The adidas Harden Vol. 9 Blue Pony will release in Fall 2025 through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $180.
