Harden Vol. 1 shoes launched at Titan Conrad
By: Paolo Manuel C. Fule
Harden Vol. 1 shoes was
recently launched on November 22, 2016 at Titan Conrad in Conrad Hotel, Mall of
Asia Pasay City. The event was well attended by media practitioners both in
print and online, with some celebrity basketball players who also graced the
launch of the new shoes from Adidas.
“As every young kid, you have dreams…you have aspirations. You ask for
things when you’re a kid and one day, I asked my mom for some money and I wrote
her a note,” Harden explained. “It said, 'Could
u wake me up at 7:00 and could u leave me a couple of dollars. P.S. Keep this
paper. Imma be a star.’
Designed in black Primeknit with flecks of gold, ‘Imma Be A Star’ exudes
Harden’s early confidence and is proof of the path he’s creating in the game.
Gold accents featured on the Harden Mark, lace tips and three stripes contrast
a black suede toe shroud and full-length BOOST TPU wrap, while the original
note is showcased as a repeating graphic print on the sockliner.
FIT TO CREATE
Asymmetrical
lacing provides adaptive support and removes pressure from the top of the foot
for quick cuts and deceptive Eurosteps, while a mix of knit and mesh material
executions across various colorways stay true to fine-tuned performance
benefits and Harden’s off-court style.
“James Harden’s creativity both on and off the
court is his true differentiator across all sports, not just basketball” said Ryan
Morlan, adidas' VP of Brand Communications. “James continues to reinvent the
game and his new position this season, by infusing his unique style
individually while creating opportunities for teammates at a record pace.
Basketball clearly needs creators to drive the game forward and James is the
torch bearer of this evolution.”
