Andrew Rizzo When James Harden’s relationship with the Philadelphia 76ers and Daryl Morey imploded in 2023, there was speculation that the former MVP would find himself with the Miami Heat. That never ended up happening as an early-season trade sent Harden to the Los Angeles Clippers, but hey, there’s nothing stopping his signature shoes from embracing alternate reality. Taken in Miami-inspired pink and teal, the adidas Harden Vol 8 “Miami Nights” aka “South Beach” arrives October 2024.
The significance of “South Beach” basketball shoes needs little preview. Nike and LeBron James popularized the aesthetic on the LeBron 8 “South Beach” in 2010 to commemorate his new team, drawing inspiration from Miami Vice and the city’s scenery and pastel architecture. Moreover, the Heat began wearing pink and teal “Vice” city edition jerseys on occasion during the 2017-18 season.
Clearly, the next James Harden shoe is an ode to his love for Miami nightlife, not a masked attempt to build a bridge with the Heat franchise. As covered at length by tabloids, The Beard is known to frequent Miami’s nightclubs during the offseason.
The adidas Harden Vol 8 “Miami Nights” will release October 2024 for $160, although no specific date has been confirmed at the time of this writing.
