adidas Basketball is set to unleash the Harden Vol. 9 “Snakeskin,” a bold continuation of James Harden’s signature franchise. This new colorway, designed for versatility and explosive court dominance, pushes the envelope on performance by fusing high-tech specs with a striking, reptilian aesthetic.

The shoe’s construction is engineered for superior energy return, utilizing a full-length Lightboost midsole that is both lighter and provides a greater rebound sensation. For enhanced stability during Harden’s signature, quick changes of direction, the outsole features a multi-directional, fragmented radial traction pattern.

This particular edition is known as the “Green Snakeskin,” distinguished by a vibrant Solar Slime hue and Core Black. The design integrates a unique scale-like pattern across the upper, giving it an aggressive, serpentine look that embodies Harden’s fierce on-court persona. Functionality is maintained with grid-mesh ventilation openings that enhance breathability and flex during intense play. The Harden Vol. 9 “Snakeskin” is scheduled for release on October 31, 2025, for a retail price of $160 USD, available online.
