THE OFFICIAL ADIDAS THREAD OF JAMES HARDEN - VOLUME 8 IN LOS ANGELES (CLIPPERS)

[thapointguy]

I think December 4th. Saw a IG post that kids release that day on DSG. I don't see that on the website calendar though.

Say what? Are the harden Vs all going to have colorways that look like decorations in a nursery or preschool classroom?

The Harden 5 design is terrible. Just looks like a bunch of stickers placed randomly over the sneaker

 

[thapointguy]

Maybe the all star shoe will have velcro patches you can stick on the odd shaped pieces lol

My first thought was grade school art class project.

Pink lemonade shows it can look good when everything isn't contrasting each other.

I love the silhouette and I’m intrigued by the Boost/Lightstrike combo but yeah those random contrasting patches thrown are a weird design choice

These honestly might be the worst signature shoe of the past 10 years aesthetically in my opinion.. why they gotta do Harden like that

 

[kg21]

It's too bad because the Vol. 5s look like they'd perform really well (besides maybe the traction) but the aesthetics are so polarizing,

The pink lemonade cw is the only one that looks remotely interesting to me at this point

Agreed. Hoping there are some more "normal" looking colorways in the pipeline.

I’m hoping the forefoot cushioning will be better than the Vol 4. Tried playing in them last night again and it was painful. Traction was also not what’s up either. The court was dusty for sure but my Vol 3 was doing much better. Looks like I’m stuck with Vol 2/3 for playing, unless they really improved these.

 

[si3n4]

I like the 3s better than the 4s too. Traction and cushioning just work better for me. I’m hoping the 5s are more like the 3s than the 4s.

[nickatnite]

Me too lol. Hated them at first but seeing them on feet I’m like”dang it, got me again....” lol. Based on the traction I’m passing on these since they have the same as the Vol 4 (which is trash for me on dusty courts). That Lightstrike/Boost looks money though

Silhouette shape looks really good on these, but that sticker design is ****ing terrible.

You hit the nail on the head; silhouette is dope but those patches ain’t doing it lol. In certain lighting in the promo video they look cool, but just looking at them without being on feet it’s hard to make sense of it.
