James Harden continues his love affair with muscle cars through his latest sneaker, the adidas Harden Vol. 9 Hell Cat. This release takes cues from the bold, aggressive styling of the Dodge Hellcat. While Harden doesn’t own one, he channels the power and design of this iconic car into the shoe’s aesthetics.

The Harden 9 features glossy black uppers that mirror the sleek body of muscle cars. Sharp red mesh underlays add intense energy and contrast. The outsole also uses a vibrant mix of black, red, and white — echoing tail lights and performance tire treads. The Three Stripes branding on the heel is bold and defined, resembling racing stripes for that track-ready vibe.

Additional touches include a plush black inner sock liner for comfort and durability. Performance details ensure it’s ready for the court, with responsive cushioning and top-tier traction. Whether you’re driving down the lane or matching kicks with your car, these sneakers stand out.
