adidas Harden Vol 3 Black/Blue/Grey Basketball Shoes (G26811)

Product Information

That’s a wrap for the Harden Vol. 3 review! I’ve gotta be honest – the 4th Harden might be a little more comfortable but if we’re talking performance AND versatility, the third one just hits home for me. And does so in a Boost-like fashion. What more is there to ask. IV. SUPPORT Pin image source: adidas.com

If you’ve had some adidas hoop shoes in the past – these should feel right at home with how the sizing goes.Didn't have any problems here either, the great fit combined with a wide outsole means stability is good even with it being a super low-top. Although its not unstable, the cushion is pretty soft so if you don't like that feeling boost gives you maybe try it on? It is slightly firmer than regular boost though. I dunno if the strap does anything tbh, didn't really notice it while playing but I like how it looks at least lol There’s also a midfoot plate going from heel to toe which provides torsional structure. A decent choice if you’re a flat footer and need a new pair. One gain to having tightly spaced grooves is they had been capable of % on a whole lot of the sample from heel to toe. So, while there has been dirt, and you will be in a scenario in which you cannot wipe, there has been sufficient insurance to subsequently get that chunk you would assume from this form of setup with excellent grip. It takes place to be something that many gamers do whether or not they want to or no longer, so it wasn’t significant trouble for me. Let’s go through over Harden vol 3 performance review.

The little extra piece at the top of the tongue and the heel portion with the adidas logo look like leather but those are actually synthetics. It does feel like leather upon touching it, which is a nice detail. Similar to the Dame 7 and the Crazy Explosive 2017, my laces loosen up pretty fast, no matter how hard I pull them down. While it doesn’t go all-out in one aspect (like the LeBron 18 cushion-wise or the Kyrie 5 responsiveness-wise), it provides all the qualities most player types will find extremely enjoyable.

I. FIT & COMFORT

The shoe sports a standard lace-and-loop lacing structure and there’s a large tongue for easy entry. Forget about all the one-bootie stuff, while some of those do work, I’d always prefer a traditional construction.

CUSHION Pin image source: adidas.com Wiping more frequently was needed there and I did slip from time to time when there was too much dust where I planted. Say what you want about a low top and its ability to support player’s movements as well as a higher cut shoe would, but the Harden Vol. 3 does everything it can in its power to provide a secure experience. But if you do though – just know that you’ll need to wipe these down a little more often and expect some slips here and there. It’s still fine. Pin image source: adidas.com OUTDOOR DURABILITY
