Official First Look at the adidas Harden Vol. 9 "Snakeskin"

adidas Basketball unveils the new Harden Vol. 9 “Snakeskin“, a bold continuation of James Harden’s signature line. The model combines cutting-edge technology with a striking and visually impactful design.

This version stands out for its versatility and explosive on-court performance, staying true to the competitive DNA of the Harden franchise. Its structure is engineered to maximise energy return, featuring a full-length Lightboost midsole that is lighter and provides a superior rebound sensation.

To enhance stability during Harden’s trademark quick changes of direction, the outsole incorporates a fragmented, multi-directional radial traction pattern, ensuring firm and reliable grip even in the most demanding movements.

Known as the “Green Snakeskin”, this edition is defined by its vibrant Solar Slime hue paired with Core Black. The upper mimics snake scales throughout, creating an aggressive and dynamic aesthetic that reflects Harden’s intensity. In addition, grid-mesh ventilation panels improve breathability and flexibility, offering greater comfort during play.
