Adidas is on fire with the latest installment in their Harden series, which has taken the basketball world by storm in recent years. You're probably familiar with the AE1 and its wild popularity both on and off the court last year 🐺

These Harden 9s definitely look like something you'd see people wearing casually. Scrolling through the comments, I noticed a lot of folks hyping up this sneaker and praising Adidas for their recent streak of killer performance basketball shoes 🗣️
Some people mentioned a strong Kanye West influence, and while I don't entirely agree, I don't think Yeezy vibes are a bad thing. Kanye's time with Adidas led to major breakthroughs that boosted the public's perception of the three stripes 👇
I get why fans might see these as Kanye-esque, but I don't see it as Adidas being shady. The brand's identity evolved dramatically during the Yeezy era, and now they're running with the ball Kanye dropped 📈
