The shoe features a primarily black color scheme with different color patches on the upper and rear. There is minimal branding, consisting of Harden’s signature on the tongue strap and a small text on the inner side panel with his name and edition number. The adidas Harden Vol. 5 Futurenatural Core Black was first released on January 31, 2021, priced at $130.
