THE OFFICIAL ADIDAS THREAD OF JAMES HARDEN - VOLUME 8 IN LOS ANGELES (CLIPPERS)

Not sure the V3s are what you're looking for then. They have pretty good impact protection and good court feel but if you need more cushion I'd go for the V2s.

I concur. The V3s are very good but the V2s have more cushioning.

I don't know much about Nike hoops shoes but @bballkid11 may want to check out the upcoming Marquee Boost.

 

[si3n4]

Good call. That boost looks thick.

Yeah, though not all Boost is made equal. NMD have thicker boost than UBs but UBs feel way more cushioned/plush.

@bballkid11 one more reco for you lol, try the Crazy Explosives (OG/2016 version; 2017 version the boost setup is a little firmer). They've been referred to as the Ultra Boost of basketball shoes: https://weartesters.com/adidas-crazy-explosive-performance-review-nyjumpman23/

2016 and 2017 crazy explosives are both golden. My knees love both...

These look and feel really good from just walking around my apartment in them

 

[erock214]

New pics of these looking pretty good, anyone have any info on em?

Another guy posted them and said they're currently available in the Philippines but no idea if they're coming stateside. I'd assume so but with adidas you never know.

 

[kg21]

Kinda annoyed at the lack of CW leaks. My Cosmos are broken in and I'm trying to plot my next pair.

 

[si3n4]

More colorways or miadidas would be good. The reds and drew leagues look really good in person if you want something with more color in the meantime...

 

[puglife]

is there still a miadidas link for the uk or whatever? i can't find it. i at least want to be able to play around with it if possible for now.

 

[suchafraud23]

12.5 that I could order for the vol. 2 finally popped up on adidas today.

Not the $49 price I wanted but for $60 shipped I ain’t mad.

Hopefully they ship

I LOVE the turquoise outsole and speckles on the midsole/rubber band holder thing but the purple looks awful to me in person. It's too much solid purple, it needs a pattern with a secondary color mixed in.

Supernovas look decent but I use Hardens strictly for bball so a light colored based shoe doesn't work for me. It'll get dirty too fast.

[fabripav]

Damn, the leather upper looks amazing

 

[jamespatrick]

Leathers are the first ones I've actually liked.

Edit: just swiped. That graffiti on the medial side ruins it. Lol so close adidas

damn you ruined for me too i was like swipe right .....

 

[rbk93]

Any new CWs past the initial release run?

 

[si3n4]

Don’t like the leather pair. Waiting on miadidas to hit the US website and be discount code eligible...

 

[gundamzaku]

damn, love that all leather pair!

Yeah, the upper on the drews could use another color subtly woven in. I really like them as is, but I get why others would be turned off by them.

I'm hoping we get more colorways like the blue toes that released in Asia. I like having the toe be a different color.

Year of the Pig (if 2019 release), that pink accent color makes sense lol. The Year of the Dog Vol. 1 was designed by the same person (Ren Zhe) that did these.

 

[gundamzaku]

makes good sense, thx for the info ^

i have the vol 1 cny colorway and loved it, i think i'm going to get these if possible instead of the ibas since i told myself i'm only going to just get one pair...or try
