On Reddit there is a user (u/EfficientZone) that compiles people's thoughts on a shoe and it wasn't looking good for the Harden 5.That was very disappointing to hear all of the negatives with this shoe. Based on that, these wouldn’t even make a good casual option. Hopefully that’s not the reason he’s been playing in older models. Why use boost in something that results in a firm feeling on foot?
I stumbled across his reviews awhile back when looking for some sizing comparisons. I enjoy his simple, yet effective breakdowns...Looks like he rates the Stepback as a better option, and that fits with Lowry wearing them when normally he has been wearing the “main” signature model. That could all change after the vol. 5 is debuted on court, though.On Reddit there is a user (u/EfficientZone) that compiles people's thoughts on a shoe and it wasn't looking good for the Harden 5.
Here is what the preliminary report looked like, and it sounds like Nelson only confirms it.
I freaking knew it man, just looking at the shoe I could tell it was going to be a big disappointment (especially the traction). I thought the cushioning was at least going to be decent but nope. Right back to my Vol 2s lmao .
Just not a great year for team Harden...
I gonna start grabbing more 1-3s when I can find good deals.
Is the first color way an ADC exclusive or something? No footsites have this on their calendar for the 4th.
Seen Lonnie Walker from the Spurs wearing these. He wore the B/E 2s last year. Interesting.really liking the step back than the main line
i saw adidas exclusive and limited.
Once they restock, if they restock, I'm going a half size down. These things are huge! Hopefully the half size difference will eliminate the heel slippage.
That's a good comparison. FLZ with react should have been dope as hell. Nah, let's cage it completely.- cushion is awful, regardless of all the tech involved (KD 11 anyone?)
I don't even hate the way they look, but EVERY review I've seen thus far said they're complete trash.
- cheap, stiff materials
- no flex to the shoe

The Harden 5 is nowhere near as bad as advertised in my opinion from a tech and performance standpoint. I just dislike how inconsistent Adidas is in general
With the sizing of their shoes.
The 5's run at least a .5 half size big. I'm thinking almost a full size if you prefer a supreme lockdown. I went a whole size down on the 4's and had a nice fit. I hate the introductory colorway sold out because I want to exchange for a smaller size and will likely do so when and if they become available again.
I get that people can't get past the look of the shoe but that is another discussion altogether.
So you’ve played some in them? What are your thoughts?
