The Adidas Harden Vol. 10 'Year of the Horse' is a testament to the enduring partnership between Adidas and basketball superstar James Harden. This unique iteration, part of the annual Chinese New Year (CNY) collection, celebrates the 'Year of the Horse' with distinct thematic elements. It signifies a dedicated fusion of athletic performance and cultural celebration.
Engineered for the demands of indoor basketball, the Harden Vol. 10 incorporates cutting-edge technology to optimize performance on the court. The midsole features a BOOST core, surrounded by a Lightstrike rim, providing responsive cushioning and support. The outsole, with its radial pattern and channeled grooves, ensures superior traction and allows for efficient dust dispersion.
James Harden, during his annual tour of China in August 2025, played a pivotal role in the shoe's initial unveiling. The 'Year of the Horse' theme, echoing throughout the design, firmly establishes the shoe within the broader Adidas Basketball CNY editions. This model follows the success of other celebratory releases, showcasing its cultural resonance within both basketball and sneaker culture.
The upper boasts a sculpted ripple exterior, rendered in a deep maroon shell, complemented by a black inner bootie and a textured toe box. A defining feature is the heel, enveloped in black faux horse hair, and embellished with red-and-white woven pull tabs. The design is further elevated by the inclusion of Harden's logo in red and icy blue outsole sections.
