adidas Harden Vol. 3 Black Scarlet

The adidas Harden Vol. 3 Black Scarlet is a unique colorway of the Harden Vol. 3, the third line of basketball sneakers released by adidas as part of a continuous collaboration with NBA superstar James Harden. The shoes have a black, white, and red color scheme with black being the predominant color covering the upper. Red adds a vibrant aesthetic to the shoes by covering the tongue, heel area, and part of the sole unit. The upper is constructed using a combination of textile and other synthetic materials while the sole uses Boost technology to deliver responsive cushioning and excellent energy return. One feature that stands out in the adidas Harden Vol. 3 Black Scarlet is the elastic strap installed around the midfoot area, providing extra support and a secure fit, allowing for agile movement on the court. Released for retail on December 1st, 2018, for $140. Additionally, the adidas Harden Vol. 3 'Black Scarlet' pays homage to Harden's basketball career at Artesia High School, where he led the team to back-to-back state championships. The primarily gray and red colorway references the team colors on the mesh upper that features a black midfoot strap for lockdown. Underneath, a Boost midsole offers responsive cushioning atop a red and white outsole with translucent hits.
