Michael Le While Jordan Brand delivers wide-sweeping changes with updates to shoes like the Why Not, adidas prefers upgrades far less extreme. With their Harden Vol. 6, which is being revealed for the first time officially, the Three Stripes are iterating only subtly on the version previous.
The most notable of changes is the construction itself, which changes out the paneling and materials but not at all the general shape. Whereas previous iterations dressed its side with Three Stripes, the branding here is all but removed, opting instead for a much cleaner side profile. Various heart-shaped overlays are spread throughout, matching the color of the robust leather upper. Elsewhere, the lace unit matches similarly, doing so with a mesh far more breathable than what was used prior. Various accents are then outfitted in contrasting hits, whether that be bright pastels or monochromatic additions.
Enjoy a close-up look at the Vol. 6 here and sit tight for its 2022 debut on adidas.com.
In other news, the Cool Grey 11s are releasing very soon.
