There has been no shortage of offensive outbursts and spectacular sneakers in the NBA as of late. While his showing may have been overshadowed, James Harden did make a statement before the Los Angeles Clippers beat the Toronto Raptors 127-107 on Friday night.

Harden is known for his fashion-forward pregame outfits, and the 10x NBA All-Star did not disappoint as he made his way through the tunnels of Scotiabank Arena. Check out Harden's Instagram post below for a detailed look at his tunnel 'fit from Friday night in Canada.

With all cameras on him, Harden used the opportunity to promote his unreleased eighth signature sneaker with adidas in a colorway inspired by his wine company. Adidas designed a player-exclusive pink and black colorway along with a clear box that held a special bottle of his J-Harden Wines product.

While we do not know much about Harden's wine company, more details are starting to emerge about the newest installment of his signature sneaker line. Below is a detailed look at last night's kicks and a breakdown of everything we know about the highly anticipated hoop shoe.

On Friday night, Harden became the eighth player in NBA history to record 75 career triple-doubles. The timing could not have been better for his personal brand as it coincided with yet another exciting colorway of the adidas Harden Vol. 8.

While it is safe to assume that the black and pink kicks from last night will remain a player-exclusive model that does not get released to the public, we will hold out hope. The adidas Harden Vol. 8 is scheduled to launch in several colorways beginning on February 23, 2024.

Adidas has not yet released any official images, pricing, or tech specs. However, Harden has given athletes and fans plenty to fawn over with a steady rotation of colorways on the court this season.

The 2023-24 NBA season is barely past the halfway point, and there have been plenty of historic sneaker moments. With the All-Star Game and postseason still to come, the sneaker community can expect even more highlights - especially if Harden has anything to say about it.
