adidas Harden Vol. 2 Athletic Shoes for Men

The second version of the collaboration between adidas and James Harden comes to fruition in the adidas Harden Vol. 2 athletic shoes for men. The signature James Harden shoes were first released in 2016 with Vol. 1. Since that time, loads of planning, measuring, and customizing has gone into developing the next volume. Fittingly, the NBA superstar's second endeavor with adidas, the Harden Vol. 2 "Maroon," was released February 15, 2018 during the All-Star Weekend.

How does the Vol. 2 compare to Vol. 1?

The newer James Harden shoes look completely revamped from the Harden Vol. 1, but the Vol. 2 comes with technical upgrades. The toe box is covered in mesh material made with Forgedfiber, TPU-coated (thermoplastic polyurethane) fibers, that allow for stretch, breathability, and support in the right places. The saddle now features a peg board-style panel made of synthetic material for lacing and also for added stability. However, some might find the extra hold to be a bit too much. A neoprene sock-liner gives the shoe a sock-like fit. There is also a plastic shank that runs the length of the shoe, similar to the previous model, that helps keep the foot stable and rebound from the floor. This shank is super-stiff and will require breaking in during play or manually.

A few other technical features of these adidas Harden shoes include:

  • Customizable lace-up system that conforms to your foot and allows you complete control over the shoe's fit.
  • Boost cushion that is laid through the full length of the shoe and extended on each side of the shoe for added support.
  • An extended heel that provides additional outsole traction.
  • An updated fractal pattern traction design that allows for quicker stops on the court.
  • Additional padding in the heel that might need to be broken in some.

Do these adidas basketball shoes fit true to size?

These shoes run a bit on the larger side. However, those with wide feet will need to order their regular size. Those with a narrow or regular foot width must order a half-size down. These shoes are available in men's sizes 4-14. For more information on sizing, check out the manufacturer's site.

adidas Harden Vol. 2 Multicolour Athletic Shoes

Are these fashion sneakers?

While unmistakable, these shoes might not be considered fashion Harden sneakers. There is, however, one model of the Harden Vol. 2, the "LS" or "Buckle," which has a unique crossover buckle closure instead of traditional laces. This accouterment gives the shoe more of a high-fashion or street feel instead of a solely "on the court" feel.

This model comes in trendy colors like black, grey, and gold and can easily accompany a pair of stylish jeans for a night out.

What colors are available?

The colorways on these adidas Harden shoes are vast and creative. Some are monochromatic black, grey, blue, or white, but many versions are multi-colored.

Are these James Harden shoes only for basketball?

With all the research and technology invested into the development of the adidas Harden shoes, this shoe is designed for basketball guards who are looking for tight support and stability. However, their unique style also makes them a casual shoe for those who want to creatively express themselves.
