Here comes the Harden Vol. 8! The eighth signature shoe of James Harden hadn't decided on purple yet. This is now done with this “Purple Burst” colorway, which is available in the same way as the previous ones.
We therefore find an upper mainly in purple with a hint of black on the forefoot and at the lounge level where the three adidas stripes stand out. A white plate appears under the sole as a complement.
The “Purple Burst” colorway is available on Basket4Ballers at the price of 160 euros.
Our Harden Vol.8 Verdict
Adidas started from scratch last year by releasing a redesigned James Harden Vol.7, with a more futuristic, even minimalist upper. The brand with the three stripes seems to have the right formula since it has generally reproduced the same pattern on this 8th version, with a reworked upper, and a sole that is still as efficient, and few unnecessary details or ornaments.
Beyond its design which stands out on the current market, the pair still offers just as many guarantees in terms of cushioning, support and grip. In this sense, the Harden Vol. 8 will be credited for its simplicity, far from the ornaments present on all other models of the genre, but also its effectiveness, the pair remaining one of the most complete on the market. In any case, we predict a great breakthrough for this model on the market, even if James Harden is no longer as “bankable” as in his heyday.
