Published June 24, 2024

James Harden's partnership with adidas has consistently pushed the boundaries of basketball footwear design. With the Harden Vol. 8, the brand continues innovating and captivating fans and players. As the 2024-2025 NBA season approaches, adidas is preparing to release several new colorways of the Harden Vol. 8. Following the looks at pairs like the White Toe, Black Yellow, and Red Black, and a colorway of the Harden Vol. 9, the latest addition to the Vol. 8 lineup is the eye-catching Purple Burst.

The adidas Harden Vol. 8 Purple Burst features performance-driven materials and a vibrant aesthetic. The sneaker's upper incorporates a reworked construction with a jersey mesh base on the midfoot for enhanced breathability and support. Black patent leather on the toebox adds a touch of sleekness, while the signature purple burst hue dominates the foam overlay on the profile, mesh base, tongue, collar, and heel counter. The neoprene bootie, also in the bold purple shade, ensures a snug and comfortable fit, which is crucial for on-court performance.

The outsole is designed with both functionality and style in mind. Combining black, purple, and transparent rubber creates a visually appealing look while housing the full-length JETBOOST cushioning system. This advanced cushioning technology provides optimal energy return and comfort, making the Harden Vol. 8 Purple Burst a statement piece and a performance powerhouse.

The adidas Harden Vol. 8 Purple Burst will release on October 1, 2024, through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $160.
