adidas Harden Vol. 2
The signature shoe of James Harden.
Designed around the way Harden plays. Euro steps, hesitations, and lightning-quick crossovers, all built to create separation. The fractal traction outsole was developed from pressure points mapped directly from his feet and playing style, placing grip exactly where his game demands it, while a stitched fiber upper and sock-like construction keep support light through every change of direction. The colorways carry the story he wanted Vol. 2 to tell, one that is fun, creative, carefree, and an inspiration to the kids.
Limited Edition [ MVP Version ]
The Vol. 2 carried Harden through the 2017–18 season, all the way to his first NBA MVP title. To mark the moment, a limited edition was created in his honor. A black and gold colorway where every detail celebrates the win, from the MVP lace jewel to the star-shaped packaging, down to insoles that trace his road to the trophy through California, Arizona, OKC, and Houston.
