Someone leaked James Harden’s new first signature shoes for Adidas on Tuesday and reaction was swift and unkind.
The alledged shoe, called the “Adidas Harden 1” or “Triple Black” colorway, might be released in December but this shoe is getting the same treatment as Stephen Curry’s “Curry 2 Lows” on twitter:

James Harden shoes come in a box that says “SHOES (ONE SIZE FITS ALL).” No logo, nothing. Just that cryptic text. pic.twitter.com/jnxDVeq9nF

In August of 2015 Harden agreed to a $200 million deal over 13 years with Adidas after previously being with Nike.
“We’re a brand of creators and James embodies that more than any athlete in the game,” Chris Grancio, adidas Global Basketball General Manager, said in a statement, at the time of the agreement.
Honestly, that leak is probably just to see what the response would be. After this reaction they’ll probably switch it up to something else before it drops or maybe the whole thing is a tennis shoe hoax.
We gon’ see!
