Hey Guys! Was THIS the new Harden shoe you were looking for? Let us know what you think of the newest sneaker in James Hardens signature line. And we want all your thoughts if you've actually gotten a chance to hoop in them. Thanks for watching!
I love the first 4 Hardens, so I hope you still take the time to test these on court and give us a proper performance review! I just hope they break in for your sake lol
these are rly good for I guess being able to stand your ground , not rly good for max jumping but really good for ig volleyball if you're a middle that doesn't max jump all the time or a defensive player in volleyball yea
@@learningguitarforchicks it’s such a departure from basically everything he’s worn as a pro. I do wanna hear his thoughts on his new shoe, but it seems like this shoe is a big departure from what he has put out
@@learningguitarforchicks I am not the guy that made the comment but I can assume that from Harden vol 1 to vol 3 it’s obviously made for players that do lots and lots of dribbling. Especially with vol 2 the rounded heels feel like wearing them just makes you wanna straight up do a step back jumper whenever possible. This one feels more like a life style design than anything.
Im 5”11 230lbs on the heavy side like harden And the heel slip disappears once you get the insole molded to the foot the fit is phenomenal just wear em around the house for a day and you will see how future natural molds to the foot it feels awesome. The materials mold to the foot when heat is generated from wear and that traction is sticky and crazy grippy dont believe others opinions and hoop in these i guarantee you will f**** love em
my feet hurt and feel sore (especially in the arches) trying to play in these (outdoor)... my knees feel fine so I guess the cushion isn't too bad. Some spots are getting blisters too because the shoes are basically Timberlands!
Finally was able to try on a pair in stores in the mc donald’s all star pair i wear a 8 & the right foot almost killed me from being so stiff i could barley move in a 8 so i ordered a 8.5 in the black colorway since a 8.5 fit better but love the shoe for being so solid & i walk hard so i know they would last but don’t half size down go true to size or half size up so you can move in them mainly half size up from your main size cause that toe space tight tight
"So right of the bat man..." And then that lil batman poppin outta nowhere for a split second, genius 💀 As for the shoe tho... I never really disappointed with harden's shoes until this one. This thing makes the three looks good, from the aesthetic and the material perspective. And the three doesn't even look that special.
All of the early reviews that I've seen have destroyed this shoe, especially the traction and the lack of flexibility. That along with the preschool aesthetics and this is a hard pass for me, which is a shame because I love all of the other Harden volumes. If you like it, that's cool too.
Damn that's a huge letdown.. I thought these were gonna be comfy as hell just based off the photos and the midsole/tech. Hoping they feel good on the court after breaking in!
i was about to grab these earlier, just choosing between this colorway or the pink ones, i thought the stiffness was just caused by the plastic shoe horse inside...
What a shame, I thought it was gonna be like a primeknit with awesome comfortable boost. I really like how the shoe looks but if the materials are super stiff, that fkn sucks :/
I wanted to get these but after you and someone’s review stated they were too stiff, I decided to pass. Went with the Kobe 5 protros and no complaints!
I agree with the bottom being EXTREMELY stiff, my heel keep coming out no matter how tight the shoes laces are. Really liked the design but had to return. One more thing, traction is bad on court.
Has anyone broken them in, have you had a negative opinion in the beginning but then changed your mind? I really like the way these look and I'm thinking of buying them as a lifestyle shoe at least. I've found some colorways that I like on discount but I'd like to know if they're at least an average shoe as far as feel, comfort, stability etc after they're broken in.
I can't tell you anything about the Hardens, because I don't have those. But what I can tell you is that the KT6 does break in. I know there's a lot of stuff on there, and they do get hot with extended wear periods, but they start to feel much better after a few wears. The closest comparison for them I have is the Why Not Zer0.1, which is one of my all-time favourite shoes, and if I'm not mistaken, y'all liked that shoe too. That's just my thoughts👍 thanks for another great video as always🙏
Spend some time really looking at the materials. The 1's had the nicest of any of his signatures. I'm not saying his other shoes didn't have different material, Just that the harden had highest quality of all his shoes. Nike did the same thing with the PG Line
These look cool, cushioning sounds cool but those materials at the 130$ price is a hard pass from me. I can’t rock something stiff like that it wears my feet out like a mfer. Maybe these break in faster in the clubs with all those lights and all the heat 😉😂😂
@@apfc13 man these make me feel heavy on my feet just from a try on. Which is odd because I’ve never had an issue with fuse sneakers like a lot of people have. Idk these just aren’t for me
I love the color ways on these, but they're some of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn...every time I wear 'em, my feet get so sore and I get blisters on my toes 😭. I wish I could have my money back, terrible!!! These were my first hardens and definitely my last
They changed the boxes from the simple white or black with gold harden logo. Hope they kinda don’t go back. Because it would stick out when you have a collection
Try to remove the plastic from the drop in midsole, at least from one side to see if that helps, I kwon it should be good at it is but just to see if makes a different
Hope the next hardens have a better implementation of the tech. They shld keep the shell super flexible and keep the boost drop in with minimal caging.
I watched this when I got them in and then it snowed in Texas, so I was stuck inside. Idk if you've played in them yet but I just got back from the court and my feet are KILLING ME. I went true to size and wore them out a few times and had no issues. Now that I've played in them ONCE and my pinky toes are blistering up. I think the sizing is a big issue, like I might be able to go a full size down just to fit. I own a shit load of Hardens and these might be the stiffest. I really hope these break-in better or something
I bought this with a US size 10 and it keeps my back foot sticking out due to how hard the design is. I bought another one with a US 9.5 and everything is so good then. I like how hard and durable it is and I can play with it. My other shoes are size 10 and they fit okay to me, this one is different though.
These suit Harden perfectly.Waits at the top of the key until he gets the ball once he has it,dribbles until he’s wasted the shot clock down to nothing double step back travel jumper and life goes on.
Picked up a pair of black, they do look nice, very nice on foot, but they're kinda stiff, and they're just terribad at locking down your heels. My heels just keep slipping out and I already went down a size. If I go any lower, im pretty sure i'll be will getting a bunch of blisters for trying to squeeze my toes in... might just return them even tho I like how they look.
Looks like the Jordan Delta breathe allot which was not made for basketball. These will shock me if they are even decent on court as they look flimsy af.
I think it says a lot if other Adidas athletes are not wearing the shoes. As a Raptors fan, I have noticed Kyle Lowry not wearing a Harden model anymore after always wearing them. Not a good sign.
They look so damn good tho. Am I right? I'm so into the look of those.
No right or wrong mate to each his own !
Ya they look like a cool ass designed shoe.
For me no, I like the vol 3 and below though vol 4 is okay
They look very very nice and artistic

I just saw that the principal critic of the 4 be listen. They were way to much flexible. Dangereous shoes.
Yea it looks cool and stylish but looks so uncomfortable!!!🤷🏽♂️

This is a wild shoe. I feel like Harden wasn’t involved heavily with these
Why do you say that
@@learningguitarforchicks it’s such a departure from basically everything he’s worn as a pro. I do wanna hear his thoughts on his new shoe, but it seems like this shoe is a big departure from what he has put out
@@learningguitarforchicks cuz he washes Hardens clothes, might be his gf lol

They are apparently selling like hot cakes too, because you can't buy these joints anywhere. Only been out 2 weeks too.
you just have to respect his honesty in all his reviews
"You want the Rachel and you wind up looking like Magneto with his helmet on" 😂😂😂
I'm a 6'7 guy who weighs 258 and these are money only took like 2 pick up games to break in
Im 5”11 230lbs on the heavy side like harden

Thanks. How long did you use them?
That time when you feel like an idiot cuz you bought before you seen the review ...
i just bought the shoe too…
How are they?
@@jaylonz7390 same
Love the vids & how honest you are w em🕺🏾 the sneaker heads & hoopers preciate ya☝🏾💜
the intro throwing little shade,but the kd unboxing with the snake still kills me lols
"It's thick and stiff." 😁

5:36 there's a B-Man. Cute! 😂
Mrs. Wing is an editing genius hahaha
Should have put crappy travis scott costume 😂
The ones I have once they broke in 🔥 my favorite shoes
All the way from Morocco Africa watching your reviews !!
"So right of the bat man..."
And then that lil batman poppin outta nowhere for a split second, genius 💀

They will break in in 10 years
Just got mine yesterday and they are surprisingly heavy and stiff. Comfort wise I like the Stepback 2 a lot better.
The hard plastic around the ankle is fir support
i was about to grab these earlier, just choosing between this colorway or the pink ones, i thought the stiffness was just caused by the plastic shoe horse inside...
Amazing video as always. When are we getting the performance review for the Curry 8? I'm interested to see how well that new outsole performs.
are these good for outdoors tho? cause I'm looking for outdoor shoes and the look of those are fire!
As soon as he said its gonna yellow and piss like crazy I bust out laughing lol
What a shame, I thought it was gonna be like a primeknit with awesome comfortable boost. I really like how the shoe looks but if the materials are super stiff, that fkn sucks :/
He lying I got the same pair they comfortable asf
@@zarsbizarre152 I just bought some today, I see like jalen green with them. So I’m pretty sure bro trippin. Also u gotta break them down right?
@@Money1Man yeah once you get them broken in they nice and comfortable
Nah go try them on i guarantee that you're going to buy them.
@@hongceequan2364 I got them, the only thing bro said was right was slippery in the gym and they do pick up a lot of dust
Wanting the Rachel, and end up looking like Magneto with his helmet on is the best analogy so far this year!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
Nelly said they don't get better with time 😭
Hilarious intro and I'm glad you all covered both shoes 😆
Cool hoody Chris, love the colour l,thanks for the honest review today.
That Magneto helmet reference was so quick. Always getting good vibes from your videos 😊
honestly these hella grew on me, hoping they hold up on the court
I wanted to get these but after you and someone’s review stated they were too stiff, I decided to pass. Went with the Kobe 5 protros and no complaints!
That slide across the table 🤣
Man NW, you have the face of a disappointed man. I hope these redeem themselves on court, but at least they look good!
Bruh, I’m not even going to lie!!! I’ve never liked any of his signature shoes but these aesthetically are GGGGRRREEAAATTT!!!!!
Great review, telling us how it actually is! I hope you can get back on the hardwood soon.
I agree with the bottom being EXTREMELY stiff, my heel keep coming out no matter how tight the shoes laces are. Really liked the design but had to return. One more thing, traction is bad on court.
I got the Dame 6s on sale for $60 and I have to say that they are awful. Only good thing about them is the cushioning.
they look so good and look very modern sad that its none of that.
I seen that little Batman at 5:35. Nice touch.

POSSIBLY THE BEST TROLLING INTRO EVER!
I feel like the material quality has gone down since the Harden vol.1
Volume 3 was still really nice idk what they did after that
A lot of the Harden 4s color ways used premium materials like suedes so idk if that’s necessarily the case
Spend some time really looking at the materials. The 1's had the nicest of any of his signatures. I'm not saying his other shoes didn't have different material, Just that the harden had highest quality of all his shoes. Nike did the same thing with the PG Line
Really not liking the color blocking of the colorways so far with the patches. Prolly gonna wait for a cw without the colorful patches.
Best intro of year so far
Never comment but this was my favourite into one a long time 😂
I was waiting for these !!!!
I really like the colors on these.
I've been waitingggggggg for this video
Dang that's upsetting on the materials. Hopefully they do a primeknit version that redeems them.
This was the best looking harden, but I thought it was going be very flexible like his last shoe
Yo the mini batman popping up was hilarious 😂😂😂
These look cool, cushioning sounds cool but those materials at the 130$ price is a hard pass from me. I can’t rock something stiff like that it wears my feet out like a mfer. Maybe these break in faster in the clubs with all those lights and all the heat 😉😂😂
i’m sayin man ima adidas fanboy and these look crazy but i’ve already tried them on and just the stiffness alone is a pass such a shame
@@apfc13 man these make me feel heavy on my feet just from a try on. Which is odd because I’ve never had an issue with fuse sneakers like a lot of people have. Idk these just aren’t for me
Will these shoes attract strippers my way lol? Great review and funny intro!
I've been wearing the shoe for quite a long time and I gotta say....... it's greate,but It took me a while to get used to it.
Just bought the stepback 2 great shoe, probably cop these too
I love the color ways on these, but they're some of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn...every time I wear 'em, my feet get so sore and I get blisters on my toes 😭. I wish I could have my money back, terrible!!! These were my first hardens and definitely my last
I hope the drop in midsole works with the Converse BBs.
Some weartester videos are just fever dreams for Michael scott
They changed the boxes from the simple white or black with gold harden logo. Hope they kinda don’t go back. Because it would stick out when you have a collection
I play a ton of Basketball. cool video. your channel is awesome. cool shoes
Try to remove the plastic from the drop in midsole, at least from one side to see if that helps, I kwon it should be good at it is but just to see if makes a different
I’m still rocking with my Harden 3’s, nothing beats em
Harden Vol 3 was an elite level shoe.
One of my fave sneaker reviewers, Hoop and Life, dislikes it as well. I'd rather look for Vol. 3s over those.
I got an 11 - too big. Returned, got a 10 now, still too big. My heel is just coming out and out again. Wish I could just try them on in a store.
You are the yoda of shoe reviewer. Keep up the good work. Thanks
I am looking forward to buy these, but not for basketball, I prefer shoes that keep my ankles in place, these are more for style.....
Damn I expected the exact opposite just based off looks tbh. They look soft and flexible 😂
Just joined the discord! 🙂
🙌
That Racheal versus magneto thing was too funny 🤣😂
Man seeing that Jordan 2011 when talking about the drop in. I would kill for a remake of those my favorite basketball shoes I ever had.
Hope the next hardens have a better implementation of the tech. They shld keep the shell super flexible and keep the boost drop in with minimal caging.

@@winstonwolfwhiteshoes maybe a little bit but still super clunky. If you only get one pair of hoop shoes at a time, I would not recommend
@@winstonwolfwhiteshoes Update: Blistered again lol
Thanks dude@@WHITEPERSUAS1ON

I like how hard and durable it is and I can play with it. My other shoes are size 10 and they fit okay to me, this one is different though.
Have you played outdoors in these?
@@ImH345 yes, it is heavy though.
Should be the Harden Volume Strip Club: when you like it Thicc and stiff
They wont give u any extra goodies if u go to the strip clup
Had me dead😂😂😂😂
I love that these are getting dropped earlier in the day! It’s a nice thing to watch when I’m making breakfast
Love that Weartesters shirt Mrs. Wing is wearing! I hope you release that one as well.
These suit Harden perfectly.Waits at the top of the key until he gets the ball once he has it,dribbles until he’s wasted the shot clock down to nothing double step back travel jumper and life goes on.

Looks like the Jordan Delta breathe allot which was not made for basketball. These will shock me if they are even decent on court as they look flimsy af.
That’s hoodie is tough bro 👌🏼
JAJAJAJAJA CMON CHRIS! that intro lol
How would you care for these? Anything to pre-apply to avoid stains? Best way to clean after use?
I think it says a lot if other Adidas athletes are not wearing the shoes. As a Raptors fan, I have noticed Kyle Lowry not wearing a Harden model anymore after always wearing them. Not a good sign.
I'll definitely choose the Stepback 2 compared to VOL. 5!
Step back to has the same heel slide problem
Played in these. Jesus Christ I should’ve brought extra shoes with me.
They that bad huh? The Dame 6s were awful as well.
At first I'm like "Ughh , no".... then after awhile looking at them later on, i'm like... "OK OK OK, kinda fire"
Just got the shoe. And now im watching reviews
Kinda has an Adidas Stabil next gen silhouette. Not exactly the same but similar design language
I should’ve snagged a pair when I had the chance, I’ll wait till the core black comes out
Ugh I was really looking forward to these I had high hopes 😩 😭
Should've followed your advices, chris. It's hella big! Now i can't return it :(
Nice hoodie Chris!
