James Harden's Adidas Basketball Shoe Expected in "Yellow" Makeover Fall 2025

The Adidas Harden Vol. 9 blends performance with fashion unlike many other sportswear products on the market. The ninth signature sneaker for NBA star, James Harden, the silhouette is expected in a "Yellow/Core Black/Maroon" makeover come Fall 2025.

Potentially inspired by the guard's alma mater, Arizona State University, the pair would add another tally to Harden's homages to the Sun Devils. He laced up a commemorative Player-Exclusive edition against the Phoenix Suns earlier this month, confirming the idea has been contemplated by the Three Stripes' Basketball branch. A representative from the brand confirmed to House of Heatº that a pair donning the aforementioned color trifecta is on the release calendar, but didn't disclose specific color-blocking.

It's anticipated that.the pair features a mostly-tonal finish across its futuristic shell-like upper and tried-and-proven sole unit. Final versions of the product, however, could differ from initial mock-ups—just as they have with Anthony Edwards' AE 2. Nevertheless, Harden and his Adidas Basketball family will continue to deliver compelling offerings for the hardwood, which should include the Harden Vol. 10 by Fall 2026.

Official photos of the yellow-and-maroon-animated style haven't surfaced, but that's expected to change as fall inches closer. For now, enjoy a speculative mock-up of the Harden Vol. 9 as you wait to secure your pair via Adidas.com for $160.
