James Harden's BEST SHOE YET?! Adidas Harden Vol 8 Performance Review!

[@boardpapi]

Adidas has been killing it with their recent releases

[@rrbautista8930]

Definitely ✨️

[@Ramgaruda]

👍🏻 agree

[@kupalface]

💯 and at least you can pick them up at stores.😂😂

[@Boe3]

@@kupalfacecrazy how I can’t even find these in stores or the AE1s😂

[@marcolouissee4752]

The “dang” word counter off the scales in this vid! 😂

[@BigBaz__785]

adidas starting to take a leap in the basketball world, these recent hardens and the AE1s have been some of the best basketball shoes to come out recently.

[@DubbsWorld]

So i hooped in these Friday night. I am a huge fan of the Harden 7 (have 3 pairs). On the 7s the cushion is near perfect, elite traction & containment, good bounce back, and have great step in comfort. I was hoping the 8 would be a step up but I think its a very small step down. I LOVE the jet boost in the AE1s but its stiffer in the 8 for some reason. I also think the TPU on the medial and lateral side is too stiff and to make it not as bad, you have to bend it ahead of time and the creases are awful looking. The shoe is noticeably warmer than the 7s which I never had an issue with. I still think its a top tier shoe compared to everything else. Probably the 4th best shoe on the market (WOW, AE1, Lebron 20/21, maybe the Sabrinas). One warning: The weight of the shoe never bothered me but if you hoop for a long period of time, you will start feeling it when you get tired.

[@y2shuproblem]

The Harden vol 8 is super sleek and i finally got a chance to see them in person. I love how sleek they look. Definitely something i would rock casually.

[@davehe1dh]

Shoe is fuego but that damn toe is killin me 😂😂😂

[@jameshill8234]

A video 📸📷 from Sammy always makes a day 💯✅.

[@Daewonnni]

This shoe feels like playing ball in a sock. Amazing support and lockdown, so you don’t feel the weight. MUST GET HALF OR FULL SIZE DOWN. Sammy saying he went UP a size is insane! This shoe fits big as fuck!

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

Okay, so I’m not crazy lol. I just got the Solar Pink H8s, I have wide feet so it felt roomy af, but way too long for my and my play style. Definitely returning for a half size down.

[@Dallas77777]

I’m a semi wide footer and I hate tight shoes so Kobe’s I go up half a size but this shoe I went down half a size. Fits awesome and was a lot lighter than I thought 😅

[@renzayonayon9932]

Got the last piece in Athens! It looks sick damn!

[@certified9540]

I went tts and had a bit of room at the toe , maybe could’ve gone down half a size

[@ByJeffnology]

idk if you do but you should place your top picks or currently using shoes in the cubbies behind you on the left

[@RafaPoke24]

Dude the traction pattern is JH. For James Harden

[@thormolecules]

Which did you like more Harden 8s or AE 1s??

[@bobpar3403]

i’ve played in hardens 1,3,4, and 7. i would rank them 3, 1, 7, and 4. would love to know your ranking of the harden line!!

[@BreezyJC]

i still hoop in harden 3s they are perfect

[@bobpar3403]

@@BreezyJC same man my personal favorite shoe

[@ayesnipezy593]

@bobpar3403 so if I’m a size 13 in harden 3s what size do you think I should go for the hardens 8 and 7

[@ayesnipezy593]

Mind you harden 3s size 13 perfect… harden 5s size 12.5 too long… so confused for harden 7s or 8s

[@bobpar3403]

@@ayesnipezy593 i got a size 10 in all my hardens. so if you wear a size 13 in the harden vol 3 get a size 13 in the harden vol 7. i tried the harden vol 8 in stores and true to size felt fine but i never actually hooped in the shoe. the only harden i felt was not a perfect fit was the harden vol 1. but even then if you tie the laces tight, you should be good

[@marciaaaron6044]

Want those but in Brazil the price is 1499 reais it’s high imma wait for promotion cause they don’t sell a lot at high prices here and I want the blue and white colloway tho

[@lesterlouielibago4346]

Harven Vol. 3 is still the best of all harden shoe line.

[@Bentley-o4y]

Should i get the ae 1s or harden 8

[@knullcodm3911]

Hey bro, please do a review of the adidas bounce legends budget shoe, I think a lot will like that.

[@tombickerstaffe269]

Should I buy Harden 8 or ar1?

Picked up a pair a couple hours ago gonna play in them tomorrow

[@ThizChicoBeaTz_]

Where did you cop them ?

[@shamarbeckham2643]

@@ThizChicoBeaTz_ I’m in Indianapolis and they actually launched them here early for the all-star game! The official release date is tomorrow so you should be able to find them readily, but I got mine from JD Sports

How was the dust?

[@ric0-fg7by]

howd you feel

[@shamarbeckham2643]

They’re great! The grip is awesome and as far as the weight goes I couldn’t really tell they are as heavy as stated

[@mavmag4418]

These are growing on me

[@Puckpost34]

AE 1 or Vol 8

[@drezc5444]

i feel the heal support on ae1 is better the only draw back is that the ae1 is a little bit heavier. i have both shoes. one thing with hardens is get your size these fit kind of big, you can honestly go down half aize

[@Boe3]

@@drezc5444lows will be lighter so those are probably 10/10

​@drezc5444 so which one

can you review the kobe 8 protro?

[@JohnPerez-s1y]

Wow...nice and cool shoes..

[@nate1prtx]

I want to get these but at the same time the older I get I prefer a very light shoe or my knees will start to feel it

[@Chicago_Jayhawk]

Lighter shoes have less cushioning which is worse for your knees.

[@nate1prtx]

@@Chicago_Jayhawk jordan 38 has excellent cushion and very light but trash durability

[@nicolasherrera3423]

Harden 7 or Harden 8?

[@akikogonzales3244]

The black part of the outsole looks like a bunch of letter H.

[@c.d.j300]

I see it. Good eye.

[@Dave-ug4cd]

The middle on bottom of the sole is a bunch of "JH's"

[@JonasLevi-w3j]

Courts shud be taken care of for player safety. Shoes cannot be designed for unsafe conditions. Generally outdoor shoes are made for outdoors. Player sponsored shoes are not for outdoors

[@Chad5ter]

Just too bulky to me… well, I guess it represents well Harden’s shape. I’d go AE1 or watch for next Dame shoe for a more slick look.

[@zjebeusjsbbdj6310]

You should always remember to wipe..

[@user-li3fy7dm8e]

I had heel slippage

[@marciaaaron6044]

Adidas more innovative than Nike with different design that are simpler smarter and more beautiful than Nike also the cushion and traction are smarter too . Like the tatum1 they say it’s a lightweight shoe but the way it feel on top of the foot it’s what matters it’s total weight it don’t really matter the weight below the foot like the foam so adidas is smarter rn. Also geometry and more cushion for adidas even they plates are located in smarter places Nike needs to catch up
