They look nice on feet.

UPDATE: Man I can't even rock these casually! First of all they are gigantic on foot and there was a lot of heel slippage with my true size...Even laced up tight...and it's not even worth grabbing these a half size down....These are going straight back to adidas.

The initial thought video from Nightwing is up & the sentiments seem to be similar to what others have been saying about the Vol 5 so far.

I think you’re possibly right. They might be or have already made changes to the shoe and is why the release dates were moved. That’s the only speculation I can think of

Adidas isn't making changes. They have been pulling stock then bring them back (Green Don 2 and purple Dame 7) or have later release.
They're gonna take the L on this one, mark them down, and learn from this. I'll try on a pair still.

That is so strange that launch colorway is now slated for a second "launch" on Feb 5th. What is adidas doing?
Sometimes shoes are greater than the sum of their parts and sometimes shoes just feel like the brand threw a bunch of tech together and you get a disjointed, disappointing shoe. Too bad the 5s sound like they are just a miss in almost every area. I don't think adidas can make any quick changes to save these shoes.
I miss adidas having multiple good Boost hoops options. I had hopes this would be one of them, but I guess not. Ugh...

I'm actually really into the aesthetics on these but I was really disappointed by the 4 performance-wise and these sound like by all accounts they're horrible to play in?

I don't particularly like these, but if I was gifted them or saw them at an insanely low price, I'd probably buy this hoodie to match. The color and blocking reminded me so much of it

The cny vol 5 just dropped here in HK. The sizing is one of the weirdest bball shoes i have ever tried. From the vol 2 to 4 i wear 9.5 n is very consistent. In the 5 as reviewed by the wesrtesters, go true to size experience heel slippage. The toe box is wider, I tried my tts then went down half a size. Going down half a size is fine for me. No heel slip much better. My feet fits perfectly. In the predecessors, theres a elastic band to secure the mid to forefoot. In the 5 however, adidas removed it. But by going down 1/2 a size, whreres the band used to be this time i can still feel that lock down feeling in the forefoot. On to the cushioning, the whole midsole insert concept really borrowed from the kobe line. As u already knew the 5 was designed by Ken Link. The only down side which bothers me is the sticky rubber on the insoles. My socks tend to go out of place when i walk. But i havent this issue found in my kobe 7s. I suggest not to wear no show socks in these. The heel pads tends to rub against the socks alot. I agreed these arent for everyone. Some say going down fits tight n small. Good luck if u interested to get yours. Peace.

The black/white Stepback 2's been on the move on ADC since the Harden trade, but then again I think they had a promo this weekend so that may have a lot to do with it.

I would like to get a pair to rep the school but these reviews I’m seeing are keeping me from that

Maybe it's just the color but those Arizona State Vol 5's brought back memories of the Air Bakin's.

i swear i did a search and couldn't find it, thanks for the help.
Maybe we'll get better colorways with him going to the nets but glad to see him gone from the Rockets

Adidas Harden Vol 5 V5 Review
No need to drag out a long review. If you follow my IG, my initial impressions out of the box pretty much matched the on court impressions and all in all it’s a pretty sorry shoe in all aspects. Ho…
