Made for basketball, the adidas Men's Harden Vol. 8 'Pioneer' features a black knit upper, reinforced by a large, teardrop-shaped EVA cage in a contrasting cloud white finish. A sock-like cuff creates a snug fit, and a molded heel counter provides rearfoot stability for quick cuts and pivots on the court. James Harden's logo appears on the heel pull loop, and black three-stripes decorate the heel of the Jet Boost midsole. The rubber outsole incorporates a 'JH' traction pattern for optimal grip when you're driving to the basket. This mid-top 'Pioneer' is ideal for guards and forwards.
