The adidas Harden Vol. 8 launches on February 23 for $160 in adult sizes.

Basketball fans will never forget when adidas literally backed up the sneaker truck to James Harden's house to announce their multi-year partnership in 2015. Since then, adidas and Harden have forged a legacy of futuristic hoop shoes that blur the lines between fashion and performance without sacrificing a thing. 

Today, the three stripes officially unveiled the latest evolution of Harden's signature sneaker line - the adidas Harden Vol. 8. The model is the pinnacle of performance basketball footwear inspired by Harden's style and vision. 

The adidas Harden Vol. 8 captures the essence of 10x NBA All-Star and leader of the Los Angeles Clippers. The new silhouette pushes the edge of pinnacle performance and elegant style, redefining on and off-court excellence with effortless versatility.
