adidas introduced the Harden Vol. 3 'Black Scarlet' during the summer of 2018 to honor James Harden's success in basketball during his time at Artesia High School in California. As a key player, Harden led the team to consecutive state championships. The design of this shoe incorporates the team's colors, primarily gray and red, on the mesh upper. To ensure a secure fit, a black midfoot strap is also included. Additionally, the Boost midsole offers exceptional cushioning and responsiveness. The shoe is completed with a red and white outsole that includes translucent accents.
