Cleveland’s home crowd saw more than just a new look James Harden on the floor; they got the first public glimpse of his next signature collaboration. In his Cavaliers debut, Harden stepped out in a still-unreleased designer take on his latest model, quietly signaling how his line is expanding beyond traditional performance aesthetics.
What’s immediately different is how the upper reads. Instead of the usual layered geometry of the Harden Vol. 10, the Willy Chavarria x adidas Harden Vol. 10 replaces it with a continuous, embossed rose motif that wraps the foam shell like liquid metal. The predominantly silver finish contrasts with deep black interiors and outsole, while thin crimson accents on the heel stripes and tread subtly tie back to Chavarria’s branding on the pull tabs. The construction keeps the sculpted, low-profile tooling intact, but the surface treatment pushes the silhouette toward something closer to wearable art.
The first official images arrived through Cavaliers social channels, suggesting adidas is treating this as a moment rather than a quick drop. It also hints at a broader shift for Harden’s line—less overt graphics, more refined material storytelling.
The Willy Chavarria x adidas Harden Vol. 10 will likely make its retail debut during NBA All-Star Weekend in L.A. before seeing a wider release via adidas and select retailers.
