Hey Guys! Was THIS the new Harden shoe you were looking for? Let us know what you think of the newest sneaker in James Hardens signature line. And we want all your thoughts if you've actually gotten a chance to hoop in them. Thanks for watching!
I love the first 4 Hardens, so I hope you still take the time to test these on court and give us a proper performance review! I just hope they break in for your sake lol
these are rly good for I guess being able to stand your ground , not rly good for max jumping but really good for ig volleyball if you're a middle that doesn't max jump all the time or a defensive player in volleyball yea
@@learningguitarforchicks it’s such a departure from basically everything he’s worn as a pro. I do wanna hear his thoughts on his new shoe, but it seems like this shoe is a big departure from what he has put out
@@learningguitarforchicks I am not the guy that made the comment but I can assume that from Harden vol 1 to vol 3 it’s obviously made for players that do lots and lots of dribbling. Especially with vol 2 the rounded heels feel like wearing them just makes you wanna straight up do a step back jumper whenever possible. This one feels more like a life style design than anything.
Im 5”11 230lbs on the heavy side like harden And the heel slip disappears once you get the insole molded to the foot the fit is phenomenal just wear em around the house for a day and you will see how future natural molds to the foot it feels awesome. The materials mold to the foot when heat is generated from wear and that traction is sticky and crazy grippy dont believe others opinions and hoop in these i guarantee you will f**** love em
my feet hurt and feel sore (especially in the arches) trying to play in these (outdoor)... my knees feel fine so I guess the cushion isn't too bad. Some spots are getting blisters too because the shoes are basically Timberlands!
All of the early reviews that I've seen have destroyed this shoe, especially the traction and the lack of flexibility. That along with the preschool aesthetics and this is a hard pass for me, which is a shame because I love all of the other Harden volumes. If you like it, that's cool too.
What a shame, I thought it was gonna be like a primeknit with awesome comfortable boost. I really like how the shoe looks but if the materials are super stiff, that fkn sucks :/
Finally was able to try on a pair in stores in the mc donald’s all star pair i wear a 8 & the right foot almost killed me from being so stiff i could barley move in a 8 so i ordered a 8.5 in the black colorway since a 8.5 fit better but love the shoe for being so solid & i walk hard so i know they would last but don’t half size down go true to size or half size up so you can move in them mainly half size up from your main size cause that toe space tight tight
Damn that's a huge letdown.. I thought these were gonna be comfy as hell just based off the photos and the midsole/tech. Hoping they feel good on the court after breaking in!
i was about to grab these earlier, just choosing between this colorway or the pink ones, i thought the stiffness was just caused by the plastic shoe horse inside...
I agree with the bottom being EXTREMELY stiff, my heel keep coming out no matter how tight the shoes laces are. Really liked the design but had to return. One more thing, traction is bad on court.
Spend some time really looking at the materials. The 1's had the nicest of any of his signatures. I'm not saying his other shoes didn't have different material, Just that the harden had highest quality of all his shoes. Nike did the same thing with the PG Line
"So right of the bat man..." And then that lil batman poppin outta nowhere for a split second, genius 💀 As for the shoe tho... I never really disappointed with harden's shoes until this one. This thing makes the three looks good, from the aesthetic and the material perspective. And the three doesn't even look that special.
They changed the boxes from the simple white or black with gold harden logo. Hope they kinda don’t go back. Because it would stick out when you have a collection
I bought this with a US size 10 and it keeps my back foot sticking out due to how hard the design is. I bought another one with a US 9.5 and everything is so good then. I like how hard and durable it is and I can play with it. My other shoes are size 10 and they fit okay to me, this one is different though.
Hope the next hardens have a better implementation of the tech. They shld keep the shell super flexible and keep the boost drop in with minimal caging.
Has anyone broken them in, have you had a negative opinion in the beginning but then changed your mind? I really like the way these look and I'm thinking of buying them as a lifestyle shoe at least. I've found some colorways that I like on discount but I'd like to know if they're at least an average shoe as far as feel, comfort, stability etc after they're broken in.
I wanted to get these but after you and someone’s review stated they were too stiff, I decided to pass. Went with the Kobe 5 protros and no complaints!
Try to remove the plastic from the drop in midsole, at least from one side to see if that helps, I kwon it should be good at it is but just to see if makes a different
I watched this when I got them in and then it snowed in Texas, so I was stuck inside. Idk if you've played in them yet but I just got back from the court and my feet are KILLING ME. I went true to size and wore them out a few times and had no issues. Now that I've played in them ONCE and my pinky toes are blistering up. I think the sizing is a big issue, like I might be able to go a full size down just to fit. I own a shit load of Hardens and these might be the stiffest. I really hope these break-in better or something
I love the color ways on these, but they're some of the most uncomfortable shoes I've ever worn...every time I wear 'em, my feet get so sore and I get blisters on my toes 😭. I wish I could have my money back, terrible!!! These were my first hardens and definitely my last
Picked up a pair of black, they do look nice, very nice on foot, but they're kinda stiff, and they're just terribad at locking down your heels. My heels just keep slipping out and I already went down a size. If I go any lower, im pretty sure i'll be will getting a bunch of blisters for trying to squeeze my toes in... might just return them even tho I like how they look.
I think it says a lot if other Adidas athletes are not wearing the shoes. As a Raptors fan, I have noticed Kyle Lowry not wearing a Harden model anymore after always wearing them. Not a good sign.
I can't tell you anything about the Hardens, because I don't have those. But what I can tell you is that the KT6 does break in. I know there's a lot of stuff on there, and they do get hot with extended wear periods, but they start to feel much better after a few wears. The closest comparison for them I have is the Why Not Zer0.1, which is one of my all-time favourite shoes, and if I'm not mistaken, y'all liked that shoe too. That's just my thoughts👍 thanks for another great video as always🙏
Looks like the Jordan Delta breathe allot which was not made for basketball. These will shock me if they are even decent on court as they look flimsy af.
Do you think the added stiffness is a result out if necessity for the upper/mid/sole being made as a single piece, as a part of Adidas newest "innovation" in reducing shoe making footprint?
These look cool, cushioning sounds cool but those materials at the 130$ price is a hard pass from me. I can’t rock something stiff like that it wears my feet out like a mfer. Maybe these break in faster in the clubs with all those lights and all the heat 😉😂😂
@@apfc13 man these make me feel heavy on my feet just from a try on. Which is odd because I’ve never had an issue with fuse sneakers like a lot of people have. Idk these just aren’t for me
@@tylerbellows3749 It's possible. We heard it was to help reduce its footprint with an alternative route to manufacturing -- less glues used -- so they chose to heat weld everything together. Unfortunately, you can't heat weld knit/textile to TPU without glue so this looks like it was the option.
Kinda disappointed to hear you guys review on this sneaker. I was looking forward to them. However I need that shirt Mrs. Wing has on. The hoppery is shut down?
They look so damn good tho. Am I right? I'm so into the look of those.
No right or wrong mate to each his own !
Ya they look like a cool ass designed shoe.
For me no, I like the vol 3 and below though vol 4 is okay
They look very very nice and artistic

I just saw that the principal critic of the 4 be listen. They were way to much flexible. Dangereous shoes.
Yea it looks cool and stylish but looks so uncomfortable!!!🤷🏽♂️

This is a wild shoe. I feel like Harden wasn’t involved heavily with these
Why do you say that
@@learningguitarforchicks it’s such a departure from basically everything he’s worn as a pro. I do wanna hear his thoughts on his new shoe, but it seems like this shoe is a big departure from what he has put out

They are apparently selling like hot cakes too, because you can't buy these joints anywhere. Only been out 2 weeks too.
you just have to respect his honesty in all his reviews
That time when you feel like an idiot cuz you bought before you seen the review ...
i just bought the shoe too…
How are they?
@@jaylonz7390 same
@@bape7372horrible, run big stiff and kinda clunky
I seen that little Batman at 5:35. Nice touch.

Thanks. How long did you use them?
"It's thick and stiff." 😁
I'm a 6'7 guy who weighs 258 and these are money only took like 2 pick up games to break in

@@Erubiel.Moreno I just bought some today, I see like jalen green with them. So I’m pretty sure bro trippin. Also u gotta break them down right?
@@Money1Man yeah once you get them broken in they nice and comfortable
Nah go try them on i guarantee that you're going to buy them.
@@hongceequan2364 I got them, the only thing bro said was right was slippery in the gym and they do pick up a lot of dust
5:36 there's a B-Man. Cute! 😂
Mrs. Wing is an editing genius hahaha
Should have put crappy travis scott costume 😂
Love the vids & how honest you are w em🕺🏾 the sneaker heads & hoopers preciate ya☝🏾💜
the intro throwing little shade,but the kd unboxing with the snake still kills me lols

The ones I have once they broke in 🔥 my favorite shoes
Damn that's a huge letdown.. I thought these were gonna be comfy as hell just based off the photos and the midsole/tech. Hoping they feel good on the court after breaking in!
They will break in in 10 years
i was about to grab these earlier, just choosing between this colorway or the pink ones, i thought the stiffness was just caused by the plastic shoe horse inside...
All the way from Morocco Africa watching your reviews !!
Just got mine yesterday and they are surprisingly heavy and stiff. Comfort wise I like the Stepback 2 a lot better.
are these good for outdoors tho? cause I'm looking for outdoor shoes and the look of those are fire!
The hard plastic around the ankle is fir support
I agree with the bottom being EXTREMELY stiff, my heel keep coming out no matter how tight the shoes laces are. Really liked the design but had to return. One more thing, traction is bad on court.
I got the Dame 6s on sale for $60 and I have to say that they are awful. Only good thing about them is the cushioning.
I feel like the material quality has gone down since the Harden vol.1
Volume 3 was still really nice idk what they did after that
A lot of the Harden 4s color ways used premium materials like suedes so idk if that’s necessarily the case
Spend some time really looking at the materials. The 1's had the nicest of any of his signatures. I'm not saying his other shoes didn't have different material, Just that the harden had highest quality of all his shoes. Nike did the same thing with the PG Line

honestly these hella grew on me, hoping they hold up on the court
Cool hoody Chris, love the colour l,thanks for the honest review today.
As soon as he said its gonna yellow and piss like crazy I bust out laughing lol
these dont look like a harden shoe, doesn't really follow his style, i don't think harden was involved in the design as much as his other shoes
That slide across the table 🤣
Man NW, you have the face of a disappointed man. I hope these redeem themselves on court, but at least they look good!
Hilarious intro and I'm glad you all covered both shoes 😆
I hope the drop in midsole works with the Converse BBs.
Amazing video as always. When are we getting the performance review for the Curry 8? I'm interested to see how well that new outsole performs.
Really not liking the color blocking of the colorways so far with the patches. Prolly gonna wait for a cw without the colorful patches.
They changed the boxes from the simple white or black with gold harden logo. Hope they kinda don’t go back. Because it would stick out when you have a collection
Great review, telling us how it actually is! I hope you can get back on the hardwood soon.
Will these shoes attract strippers my way lol? Great review and funny intro!
Best intro of year so far
I bought this with a US size 10 and it keeps my back foot sticking out due to how hard the design is. I bought another one with a US 9.5 and everything is so good then. I like how hard and durable it is and I can play with it. My other shoes are size 10 and they fit okay to me, this one is different though.
Have you played outdoors in these?
@@ImH345 yes, it is heavy though.
9:40 Do not I repeat Do not look to see what Harden feet look like
Hope the next hardens have a better implementation of the tech. They shld keep the shell super flexible and keep the boost drop in with minimal caging.

I got an 11 - too big. Returned, got a 10 now, still too big. My heel is just coming out and out again. Wish I could just try them on in a store.
I really like the colors on these.
Where you get the hoodie tho?
I wanted to get these but after you and someone’s review stated they were too stiff, I decided to pass. Went with the Kobe 5 protros and no complaints!

Dang that's upsetting on the materials. Hopefully they do a primeknit version that redeems them.

@@winstonwolfwhiteshoes maybe a little bit but still super clunky. If you only get one pair of hoop shoes at a time, I would not recommend

Bruh, I’m not even going to lie!!! I’ve never liked any of his signature shoes but these aesthetically are GGGGRRREEAAATTT!!!!!
That Magneto helmet reference was so quick. Always getting good vibes from your videos 😊
they look so good and look very modern sad that its none of that.
I was waiting for these !!!!
Nelly said they don't get better with time 😭
POSSIBLY THE BEST TROLLING INTRO EVER!
Wanting the Rachel, and end up looking like Magneto with his helmet on is the best analogy so far this year!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯

Kinda has an Adidas Stabil next gen silhouette. Not exactly the same but similar design language
Man seeing that Jordan 2011 when talking about the drop in. I would kill for a remake of those my favorite basketball shoes I ever had.
Never comment but this was my favourite into one a long time 😂
How would you care for these? Anything to pre-apply to avoid stains? Best way to clean after use?
I play a ton of Basketball. cool video. your channel is awesome. cool shoes
Love that Weartesters shirt Mrs. Wing is wearing! I hope you release that one as well.
This was the best looking harden, but I thought it was going be very flexible like his last shoe
I love the intro.😁
You are the yoda of shoe reviewer. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Hey bro did you see the new Kobe seven pro troll black panthers they just released in the Philippines 10 hours ago

I played in mine the other day and they felt ok to me. The Stepback 2 is a little more comfortable to me which is odd.
Not a good sign when the take down model is more comfortable
@PATRICK John take down is like budget model. Not the true signature shoe. The Harden Stepback is Harden’s takedown model
I liked these more in the leak shots...something is iffy about them..might be the color.
Trout shoes?? As in Mike Trout baseball cleats?? I have 2 pairs of those and they are amazing
Yo the mini batman popping up was hilarious 😂😂😂
I wonder if your change the insole how would it feel
Some weartester videos are just fever dreams for Michael scott
2:00 idk why but I found this traction part funny
I should’ve snagged a pair when I had the chance, I’ll wait till the core black comes out
Why did you get rid of the omni1s in the backround
I’m still rocking with my Harden 3’s, nothing beats em
Harden Vol 3 was an elite level shoe.
Nice hoodie Chris!
Just joined the discord! 🙂
🙌
Need these in the red colorway and yes these remind me of the Yeezy 350v2
For us big guys its best you go up a half size not down. You have to break them in, if not they will hurt your feet like hell

@@apfc13 man these make me feel heavy on my feet just from a try on. Which is odd because I’ve never had an issue with fuse sneakers like a lot of people have. Idk these just aren’t for me
So, with the Nike Foamposites, the heat from playing eventually made the shoe conform to your foot... is that what they were going for maybe?
Foamposite is PU and will mold. This shoe is plastic.
@@WearTesters Right, what I meant was were they trying to replicate in plastic what Nike did with foam

They usually close between drops to get all the product out then reopen for the next drop.
can anyone lmk how it was playing in these? i love the style and im really interested in the sole
Which one do you think is worse harden 5 or dame 6
That’s hoodie is tough bro 👌🏼
First thoughts on the pg5?
Should've followed your advices, chris. It's hella big! Now i can't return it :(
