James Harden knows how to make an entrance. Scroll through his game logs for proof; in his initial appearances for the Rockets, Nets, and 76ers, he tallied a combined 96 points. While it was a more restrained debut for his current squad, his Clippers tenure has coincided with some of his best recieved signature shoes, allowing for that strong first impression to come through either way.

With adidas and Harden chalking off the release cadence far ahead of time, we’ve known that the adidas Harden Vol. 9 would be dressed to the nines for the start of the upcoming season for some time. Official images of the adidas Harden Vol. 9 “Snakeskin” have just surfaced, providing a granular look at an immediate standout from the Fall/Winter set. Fittingly, as the silhouette chalks off the latter half of its first year on the market, it’s given Three Stripes designers the chance to get truly experimental, spinning off the all-over coloring seen on the “Dynamo” or “Flamingo Pink” with a patterned, scaly outer cage.

The adidas Harden Vol. 9 “Snakeskin” touches down on October 17th, just a few days before tipoff of the 2025-26 regular season. A $160 MSRP is expected.
