James Harden Says He Has The Best Basketball Sneakers

James Harden touted his adidas basketball sneakers as the best for two straight years.

A lot has changed for James Harden over the past few years. His coaches, teammates, and zip codes have remained in constant flux. However, the perennial NBA All-Star is still proud of his signature sneaker line and is not afraid of offending anyone with his rhetoric.

Harden is a signature athlete for adidas, with the eighth installment of his signature sneaker line coming out soon. On Monday morning, the Los Angeles Clippers guard took to social media to tout the excellence of his basketball shoes. Check out the Instagram post below.

Harden shared a sneak peek at six different colorways of his unreleased basketball shoe and added the caption, "When these drop that’ll be the best hoop shoe two years straight, no debate!"

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and judging sneakers can be very subjective. But it is hard to argue with Harden on this issue. The adidas Harden Vol. 7 and Vol. 8 are futuristic, stylish, and perform well on the court. Below is everything we know about the adidas Harden Vol. 8 at this time.

The adidas Harden Vol. 8 is scheduled to release in February 2024. There are no official tech specs or pricing information at this time. However, the adidas Harden Vol. 7 launched with a retail price of $160 in adult sizes, so fans should expect a price point in the range.

Harden's signature line has always drawn inspiration from his off-court fashion, but the adidas Harden Vol. 8 is bolder than ever. The hoop shoes feature a large foam lateral cage with minimal branding sans the three stripes on the heels. 

We have already seen Harden debut multiple colorways, all of which have been well-received by the sneaker community. In an era where so many athletes and brands play it safe, Harden and adidas refuse to back down in their marketing. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news.
