UPDATE 12/1/25: Official photos of the adidas Harden Vol. 10 “Imma Be A Star” have been added below. Expect a release December 15, 2025 for $160 USD.

UPDATE 11/25/25: James Harden officially unveiled the adidas Harden Vol. 10 on the court during the Clippers vs. Lakers matchup. The sneaker gives fans their first real look into the next installment of his signature line. Rather than a completely new direction, adidas makes a calculated leap forward from the popular Harden Vol. 9, keeping the familiar shape while leaning into a bolder, more experimental design. The Vol. 10 features a sculpted TPU upper with concentric oval panels wrapped around an internal bootie for a snug, supportive fit, trading last year’s ventilation zones for a cleaner, streamlined build. Harden also showed love off the court, gifting early pairs to kids at the Boys & Girls Club of Los Angeles before heading into the arena. Retailers currently expect a December 15, 2025 release for $160, though adidas has not yet confirmed the date.

Original Story 11/4/25:
The adidas Harden Vol 10 is a momentous release for James Harden. Harden becomes the third adidas basketball player to achieve 10 signature sneakers with this launch, joining Derrick Rose and Damian Lillard. It’s not the type of thing that’s going to make headlines in today’s sneaker game climate, but it is still an impressive feat.

The colorway for this first release dubbed, “Imma Be A Star”, is a blend of Ice Gold Metallic, Core Black, and Lime Burst. The silhouette keeps Harden’s sleek, low-to-ground profile, but adidas swaps last year’s curved overlays for embossed oval paneling that radiates from the forefoot, adding depth without loud branding.

The outsole now includes radial traction pods at the heel and toe for more controlled planting and step-back movement — a clear nod to Harden’s signature pace-and-pause style. Cushioning hasn’t been confirmed, though early pairs suggest adidas may stick with the BOOST + Lightstrike combo seen on the Vol. 9.

According DICK’S Sporting Goods release calendar, the adidas Harden Vol 10 “Imma Be A Star” releases December 15, 2025 for $160 USD, via adidas.com and select retailers.
