Adidas Harden Vol. 9 Pure Ruby

Adidas Harden Vol. 9 Pure Ruby — James Harden's ninth signature shoe

The Harden Vol. 9 arrived in 2025 as the ninth chapter in James Harden's signature line with adidas Basketball, and its biggest improvement over the Vol. 8 is its weight: the silhouette is noticeably lighter, especially in the heel, without sacrificing cushioning. It's built for the type of play that has made Harden famous: sudden stops, changes of pace, and shots from way beyond the arc. Pure Ruby is its most intense colorway.

The Harden Vol. 9 — three-stripe cutouts and exposed Boost

The upper is synthetic, with cutouts that create the three stripes on the medial and lateral sides instead of layering them on top. Ruby red covers the shoe in an almost monochromatic finish, allowing the cutout structure and the windows in the sole to serve as the graphic element. Boost is visible through openings in the sole and strobel.

Materials and technology

• Upper: Synthetic materials with cutouts forming the three stripes on the lateral and medial sides; monochromatic Pure Ruby finish
• Interior: A combination of BOOST and Lightstrike in the midsole for lightweight energy return; Boost visible through the openings
• Outsole: Rubber with mapped torsion zones for traction and stability during changes of direction
