adidas Harden Vol 3 Performance Review

[@WearTesters]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@agentk1930]

How tall are you ? 5'6?

[@leoshteynberg3013]

WearTesters nightwing, this is weird, but I absolutely adore the intro music to your video, and it’s stuck in my head. I gotta know where it’s from

[@babygoat_szn2548]

So you're a hooper hooper!

[@harrychev8625]

really enjoyed the info at the end, so spot on

[@shantmanoukian2430]

Do you like these better than the Harden 2s?

[@dukestarfighter]

You said something extremely important at the end of the video that I hope people take notice of. “You gotta be able to fine tune the information found in the video, and really apply it to yourself.” There have been many shoes I try on that don’t work for me personally, but you’ll say how amazing the fit is, or “wide footers should try these on” and it doesn’t make what you said wrong by any means. A great shoe is a great shoe no matter what. And sometimes what you may feel like is a is a bad fit or an ok shoe might work for someone else (the D Rose 9) and be a great shoe for them. Any which way, I thought that bit in the vid was great along with the review. Thank you for continuing to make incredible content.

Just watching you shoot makes me wanna play with you haha maybe one day ill run into you on the court! Thank you for the review! Def gonna get this for my brother!

I like how you mentioned walking bare feet is the natural way of moving. A lot of people need to get a better understanding of that concept

[@Will_ly]

Every time I hear, "Wide footers...." I cry a little on the inside.

Yeah no kidding bro. I can't do it.

[@davidly4083]

Bought a pair of these to replace my PG2s and I'm really pleased with them! The cushion all around feels nicer, especially if you're playing multiple games. The PG2s felt better for lockdown support, but after a long outing, the PG2s left my toes pretty sore. It's only my third ball shoe, and I play 90% indoors, but I'd rate the Harden vol 3's 10/10, whereas the PG2s would be 8/10

[@MaddNomad1015]

The information at the end was like listening to Tinker talk about Air Jordan’s. A lot of passion.

[@Veteran6]

Awesome. Thanks Nightwing and Weartesters.

[@variandavid377]

Great video. I especially appreciate the bit you covered about fit and support with ankle movement restriction. It always bothers me when I see someone wearing an ankle brace that's rigid, like Curry's...which ironically reminded me of the ones Glen Rice used to wear and those were known to cause knee injuries.

[@primeplayer5899]

Man I’m not really an Adidas guy when it comes to hooping but I think it’s time for a first

[@TheZombieeeeeee]

you wont be let down with this shoe. by far the best addias shoe i have (own dame 4, drose 8, pro bounce)

I never get tired of these intros! Always excited to watch your reviews.

[@hardrive28]

I recently bought Harden Vol. 3 Supernova and it is awesome!!! Thanks Nightwing!

[@lisaholic123]

Went down to Champs today, and they had these for $89.99. ($99.99 for the black boost).

[@badasazninvasion]

i love it every time u describe support. i spread the message whenever i can to improve consumer knowledge for my baller friends.

[@TCGcart]

I just bought these shoes on StockX for $104 plus shipping! Thanks man I love basketball and they way you explain your shoes is amazing thank you for helping me out!

[@Somebody-lk7dm]

I love these shoes but I have a few complaints. -they can get hot asf -not much arch support -bottoms get torn up on outdoor courts. Since gyms closed, I’ve gone right through the rubber and you can see boost (I don’t use that pair anymore). On indoor courts, these are my favorite hoop shoes and I highly recommend them

[@Dropping_Dimez]

Up to now, my harden 3 with translucent outsole is still my go to shoes to play basketball. Can't wait for my harden vol 7 soon!

[@benjaminhiggins3194]

That whole section at the end made me think it would cool to watch a video of you explaining how to interpret or “translate” your performance reviews to apply to individual players. Or even if you talked about how your reviews could apply to shooters vs. drivers or post vs. guard players. That could be a good Weartesters Talk

[@portergraf9481]

One of the best shoe review videos I have ever seen. Well done and thank you.

[@renatoruiz8534]

I'm 5'10" 200 pounds. I have a pretty wide midfoot. These shoes fit me great and hold up to the abuse I throw at them.

[@joselorenzolat4251]

I love your reviews. Bought the harden shoe because of your amazing reviews!

[@marcalhanaty4636]

The best reviews anywhere!!! Honest and down to earth!!! Great stuff, thanks!!!!

[@Charlessssss85]

Thank you for the vid sir, love Mrs. Wing's questions they add a new dimension on the shoe review.

[@dnell860]

Just played in a pair, by far the best Harden shoe...very comfortable and zero to no break in needed

[@locosmiley2008]

i've always worn Nike shoes in the court, until i got the harden 2 and its been the only shoe I play with, and it was half price of a Nike, very nice material and strong build. if you want cushioning and grip get a harden. im 6.6 and weigh 230 pounds.

[@xXSupreme45Xx]

I like that discussion at the end, great vid as usual!

[@fluxcorenz]

Interesting that one of the colourways of this shoe in the New Zealand store calls it the "Crazy X 3 (BK F)" instead of the "Harden Vol. 3" like the other colourways. I still think the heel collar looks ridiculous, and they look like a team shoe, but will consider getting a pair when they go on considerable sale.

[@vizard350z]

For anyone still looking they have colorways on sale for $70 now

[@theman4u34]

Young Wizard $56

[@vizard350z]

Brandon where at??

[@theman4u34]

It was part of the adidas sale with the code JUNE20 but I think it’s sold out already depending on what size you are

[@KenEdwardC]

Man I'm so glad these had ur stamp of approval. Haha. coz I bought mine way before this performance review. Only played in it once and I haven't broken em in yet, the fit is what stood out to me the most when I played in them. Great on court performer. 😎👍

[@99sneakers49]

just bought them! convinced by your video!

[@JustinSheu]

Man love the review!! Everything agreed with mentioned, however my friend owns this pair, and I don't know if it's an isolated issue, but lots of dust collects on his pair, and wiping is no go :/, only when we get back home cleaning the outsole does fine, but then after getting back in the gym a few plays and lots of dusts collects again. Love your vids and always wish you the best!

[@wscr2011]

Anybody here after seeing the Harden 3's on Black Friday sale on adidas?

[@michaelsanford4891]

A dope review and a knowledge bomb. The end part should be a future "Nightwing knows" video

Great review as always. Isn't he like the only honest reviewer out there? Keep it up bruh!

[@quanvominh9499]

Great video, I like the extra information at the end. Btw can I get the name of the song at the beginning?

[@rosasalinas7621]

Great review on the Vol 3. Do you know what the heel to toe drop is on these shoes? I'm after a minimal shoe with court feel and a little impact protection as I like being low to the ground.

[@jensenmansen7361]

Hehe its so funny... I was watching the Video and was thinking of you interviewing all those players and asking them whats the aspect of the shoe they value the most and then started wondering what you might say when asked the same question ... and Boom there your wife asks that question. You guys just always get what i would like to know before i even know. 🙌👍

[@marcvsalexandrvs]

speaking of having the feeling of (being) bare-foot.. growing up, we use to play in (thong) slippers and has no traction nor support whatsoever but we run faster than when we wear actual shoes (whatever we could afford at that time). The closest to that (feeling) was the Kobe 5's (low/lightweight/traction). I ran it to the ground until it ripped the synthetic/plasticky upper material. While most are now into the 'looks' of the shoes than fit/performance, this is quite refreshing that a shoe (could) perform this well

[@dparkertex]

Go a size up ...idk what he's talking about they run small as hell and they are super tight where the strap is.....

[@vincentlow7306]

True to size as in... the same size as you get for jordan's and nikes? or your adidas true to size?

[@nicolasvega-frey4543]

i know, they never specify in these videos or give a comparison

[@erik472]

Just scored these for about 95 bucks off champs on sale and with a coupon... great review made me go this route. They are ugly and not nikes so im going out on a limb trusting your professional review. Thanks Nightwing.

[@italyfalife]

Hey great video Chris! Would you say the crazy explosives are better than the Hardens 2 & 3?

[@Thistlebee]

Great review, nightwing. You think the strap would be good to hold your laces If they come down to far?

Cyber monday @ adidas.com is the best price i found. 30% off.

[@PlantainSupernova]

Cats have very abrasive like texture on their tongues. Can't believe they went maximum effort on that and made it too grippy. I love that they made a super purposeful shoe over the storytelling, just like you said plain and simple gets it done right.

[@flightfx]

Hey NW, love your reviews. Just wanted to know, did you find the front of the strap dug in just behind the big toe when walking?

[@wilfredbalmores8440]

I'm still for the cushion, however the fit is a close 2nd for me.. Again ur content is 🔥 cheers Mr. & Mrs. Nightwing, wait she should be Starfire if that's the case 😁

@@csmith2118anything with boost is really doing it for me, fit is a little tricky tho..

[@csmith2118]

Wilfred balmores thanks

[@bojunli7551]

I absolutely love this harden except being a 200 pound 5'11 guy....some times i planted my foot hard during lets say a step back...the combination of the exceptional traction and thin cushion underneath creates so much of a stress and hurts my heel like i was running and jumping on bare foot....guess illl have to lose some weight before i put this one on the next time

[@bojunli7551]

Well i twisted both of my ankles during April and May, and that plays a factor in hurting my foot. My friends said that my ankle just dont look strong enough after the injuries. I think some ankle trainning will help releasing the stress off of my foot as well.... But heavier guys i say over 200 pound should be ware of buying these shoes.

[@EE-ie1bo]

@@bojunli7551 yeah. You might need to opt for something with a little less traction

[@nicolasvega-frey4543]

elevate your feet on a wall with your butt sitting on the lower part of the wall, and your back on the floor

[@j03yyy]

I'm picky for this reason for not getting this shoe earlier. The "heel tongue" (i called it) was so high I thought it was kind of ugly and that the shoe wouldve been perfect if they didnt put that there. But now this shoe is just growing on me so much. But is till need to try it on and get a good feel for it.

[@eric-is2ix]

Some guy just sold me a pair for 25 bucks that's basically new lol. Patience is key in the shoe game especially here in the Philippines where they don't go on sale beyond 40% and usually they're at 20% even in outlets

Finally! I've been waiting for this review. :) I never buy shoes without watching your reviews man. I've been fitting these shoes in the mall just to know my proper size but I had to wait on your insights before buying them. They feel like the kobe 5/6 on initial fitting. Hopefully they feel the same on court as well. I just bought 2 pairs online on a great discount after watching the video. :) Great job sir!

[@Athleteforeverr]

Adidas have been killin the bball game and this shoe is great. I did have to go a full size down tho from a 10 to a 9

[@wanabdulhadi1268]

Great video, man! If only the traction was more durable though. I was seriously considering this as an outdoor option, but I guess it just won't last too long. I play primarily outdoors. But I was just wondering, you know how nike has these new shoe models called the EP's, (like the kobe ad exodus EP's), designed to perform better outdoors, do you think adidas has something like that, or that they have asian models more catered towards outdoor use, like how nike's asian models have xdr rubber outsoles?

Originally thought they looked ugly when first announced but seeing them in person they look much better and felt amazing trying them on. Footlocker had a 25% off everything and for $165 AUD I couldn't pass it up. Only managed to play in them once but my lord were they great. Fit is near perfect, comfort was amazing and traction was good after a couple of wipes (court is extremely dusty). Definitely a winner.

I’d say TTS

[@sb632]

Finally got to try a pair on. Tried em in both true size and half a size up. The shoe is just a bit narrow for my wide feet. But they are a huge step up in quality from the 2 imo. Cushion was exactly how you described. Not to mushy and not to firm. Great floor feel in my fore foot. I just dont think even after breaking a pair in that they would be comfortable. Which sucks because I love the look of the shoe. If only adidas made a W size lol.
