James Harden‘s adidas Harden Vol. 1 has just received an upgrade courtesy of Pensole Academy in Oregon. Inspired by Harden’s “Brothers Through Everything” mantra, you’ll find a patterned mesh upper that’s met by textured overlays. The combination of burgundy and yellow are showcased on the model as this edition was the winner of Pensole Academy’s recent sneaker design contest. In addition to receiving a limited edition model that’ll be worn by “The Beard,” the lucky winner also landed a job with adidas.

The Pensole Academy x adidas Harden Vol. 1 will retail for $115 USD and is expected to drop on December 13 at select adidas Hoops retailers and adidas.com. Take a look at the imagery above and let us know if you favor this design in comparison to the Harden’s original signature debut.
