James Harden unveiled the much-anticipated Adidas Harden Vol 9 during the Clippers vs. Jazz game at the Intuit Dome on December 16, 2024, in Inglewood, California. Adidas Basketball generated excitement ahead of the debut with posters teasing the release all around Los Angeles, and Harden didn’t disappoint. Not only did he drop a stunning 41 points on the Jazz, but he also showed off his new signature shoe in style, solidifying the Harden Vol 9 as one of the most anticipated sneakers of the year.
Leading up to the game, we previously saw official images of some upcoming pairs such as the "Cloud White," "Hell Cat," "Metamorphosis," "Cyber Metallic" (the pair which he debuted at the game), "Ice Metallic," and a special "Year of the Snake" edition. The varied palette speaks to the versatility of the shoe, with each pair offering a unique aesthetic while maintaining the performance-oriented DNA of the Harden line.
This collaboration between Adidas and Harden has been on fire, with the Vol 9 looking to continue that streak of success into 2025. Fans can expect these sneakers to start hitting shelves in January 2025 state side, and late December overseas as revealed by James Harden via Instagram.
