We’ve seen plenty of previews of upcoming adidas Harden Vol. 9 colorways, but James Harden and adidas have more up their sleeves for 2025. Following the reveal of colors like the Blue Pony, Green Snakeskin, and Silver Aqua, a fourth rendition for the Fall 2025 season has appeared — Yellow Patent.
A two-tone finish is applied to the silhouette, with black and yellow shades combining the patent leather, mesh, and neoprene upper. Most apparent is the large patent leather paneling that begins at the toe and covers the entire profile of the sneaker, coated in a metallic yellow shade. We see slashes that create the Three Stripes logo in black on the midfoot. More black is found on the lace set, pull tabs, and neoprene bootie.

James Harden’s logo appears on the faux carbon fiber on the heel tab, while the insole features a V9 logo. Below sits a Lightboost and Lightstrike cushioned sole unit, contained through the yellow rubber that extends from the outsole onto the sidewall. Final details include adidas logos on the spine of the heel and the circular traction pattern.
The adidas Harden Vol. 9 Yellow Patent will release in Fall 2025 through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $160.
