James Harden and his Los Angeles Clippers are holding their own in the Western Conference as the team currently sits in the 6th seed as we approach the All-Star break. The Beard’s performance on the court has been elevated through his signature sneaker line with adidas. It recently debuted its 9th model, the adidas Harden Vol. 9, over the weekend in the Cyber Metallic colorway. After previews of pairs like Red Metallic, Ice Metallic, and the Hell Cat-inspired rendition, images of a new colorway in Core Black Warm Vanilla have appeared.
While the color palette doesn’t stray too far from the upcoming Pearlized rendition, the material makeup of this new Harden Vol. 9 sets it apart from other sneaker versions. Typically, the sneaker features mesh ventilation slashes along the midfoot that rest between the leather overlays, helping create Three Stripes branding. However, this pair coats the entire upper, sans the internal bootie, with one piece of smooth black leather.
