James Harden didn’t just glide through China this summer—he unveiled the next chapter in his legacy: the adidas Harden Vol. 10. Mid‑cut as ever, the silhouette arrives wrapped in a bold, molded shell defined by concentric ellipses that seem to ripple out from the forefoot, pushing forward a sculptural aesthetic that feels both aerodynamic and unapologetically digital .
There’s a familiar hug beneath the exterior: the synthetic overlays embrace an internal bootie construction, the same foundation that allowed Vol. 9 to ride with precision. The weights, textures, and volumes may shift—but the intention stays: a shoe built for explosive movement, from step‑backs to sky‑high finishes .
As of now, adidas stays tight‑lipped on the tech spec sheet—but insiders expect the Vol. 10 to keep the BOOST + Lightstrike Pro combo: a cushioning signature for Harden’s game that blends softness with launch‑ability . Design-wise, long‑time collaborator Jalal Enayah is tipped to remain at the wheel, sculpting this tenth model with the same aesthetic signature that’s anchored the line since Vol. 5 .
Timing? The Harden Vol. 9 still reigns through the rest of 2025—but whispers already point to a full rollout of the Vol. 10 looming between late 2025 and early 2026, turning the page on yet another signature era
