Jalen Williams kicked off the 2025 NBA season with statement energy, debuting the adidas Harden Vol. 9 “Championship Ring Ceremony” PE during Oklahoma City’s title celebration. The exclusive pair honors the Thunder’s first championship and highlights Williams’ growing influence as one of adidas Basketball’s brightest young stars.
This celebratory edition stands out with a striking mismatched gold and white design, symbolizing balance between legacy and future. Gold speaks to the hard-fought nature of the team’s success. The white shoe offers a blank canvas for the season to come. Wave-shaped midsoles, reflective metallic overlays, and custom J-Dub hand-sign graphics on the heel pull tabs make this PE uniquely personal. It’s that kind of storytelling detail sneakerheads will see at first glance.
Williams’ relationship with adidas has evolved into one of the brand’s most imaginative partnerships, without much fanfare. From his bold on-court rotations to limited PEs, he’s helping define adidas Basketball’s next era — one built on individuality and confidence.
While this “Championship Ring Ceremony” colorway won’t hit retail shelves, it perfectly captures the moment and meaning behind OKC’s rise. A golden start for the Thunder, and another chapter in Jalen Williams’ evolution with the Three Stripes.
