James Harden and adidas Drop the Harden LS 2 Buckle Shoes
Amy Duong — June 1, 2018 — Pop Culture
Houston Rockets basketball star James Harden works in collaboration with sportswear giant adidas in creating the 'Harden LS 2 Buckle' shoes. The new collaborative shoe honors the player and marks Harden's newest lifestyle offering. The sneakers are a re-imagination of the adidas Harden Vol. 2 -- it boasts a buckle-fastening cross-strapped system this time and sits directly at the top center. It boasts an olive green colorway across its uppers in a blend of suede materials and full-grain leather.
All of which rests on top of a clean white midsole with the label's signature BOOST enhancement and an outside crafted from grooved rubber. The new Harden LS 2 Buckle lifestyle shoes are priced at $160 USD and are available beginning today at retailers including Renarts.
