The adidas Harden Vol. 4 Scarlet is a performance shoe designed as a collaboration between the brand and American basketball star James Harden. This iteration features an upper made of durable textile in different shades of Scarlet, forming an interesting pattern. A shiny transparent overlay forms the mudguard around the toe, while a Scarlet support strap with white lettering appears over the forefoot under the laces on each side, attaching to the midsoles. Curved Scarlet leather also appears on each side. The heel contains white branding elements, while the tongue features an iteration of the adidas three stripes. A curvy and chunky scarlet midsole completes the look. The adidas Harden Vol. 4 embraces James Harden's creativity on and off the court. This Solar Red variant updates the signature textile upper with a printed midfoot band for a locked-in feel and a tonal film overlay on the toe. Its laces are anchored by curved eyestays. The matching Lightstrike midsole gives the sneaker an explosive boost, while the rubber outsole's generative tread enhances traction and control.
