adidas Presents the Harden Vol. 9 in a Molded Leather Look
adidas introduces a monochromatic and dynamic update of the Harden Vol. 9 sneaker model with the launch of the Molded Leather update. The model is set to launch later this year in July 2025 and it features a simple palette of black and white throughout the silhouette. The athlete works with Adidas to move closer to a lifestyle-wearing approach.
The signature shoe adds to the six colorways that have already been confirmed and is launching to markets in April. The summer variation is a lifestyle version of the performance model. The upper is coated with leather materials and the Three Stripes logo is stripped back from the heel and the usual cut-outs in an oblong shape are filled.
