    the Dame 4’s are hideous

    the Vol. 2’s were so comfortable, but I’m not about to buy either of the 2 colorways that initially dropped

    when those white and black ones come out I’ll cop

    I went back and tried on the Vol. 2’s again today, and they didn’t feel as comfortable...they felt heavy and clunky

    the main thing I like better about the Vol. 2’s in comparison to the Vol. 1’s is the removal of the leather toebox...maybe the Vol. 2’s will feel a lot more comfortable once broken in, but Idk about this shoe yet...I don’t like heavy shoes

    I never noticed how much people wear Harden's around Houston and the NBA.

    Ive only tried the 2s on once so far.

    I do have a wide foot, but I absolutely could not fit my foot in them. They were extremely tight and snug around my foot and ankle.

    Flexing the threads out badly

    Good to hear. Adidas typically isn't my style, but the main thing is Houston representing.

    yea it is bottom heavy since the boost is so thick in the shoes. I heard it gets better as you wear out the shoe a bit, does kind of suck it's not light out of the box

    right now, I think I’m gonna pass on this shoe

    I was able to get my feet in them with little issue, but I just can’t see myself hooping in something that heavy

    the Vol. 1 LS is still easily at the top for me

    they got rid of the toebox which I liked, but then they made it too heavy

    Adidas, why?!?

    I also wish the lacing system wasn’t there

    yea it's kind of weird, the top is light but it's bottom heavy with the thick boost sole. I think James is struggling since he has to adjust to the new shoes

    Question: Did you just buy a pair?

    It might be you're hyper aware now. The frequency-illusion

    hoopshype.com used to list every player and what shoes they wore. It looks like they dont have that feature anymore.

    I love my Vol 1’s. I have the suede camo ones.

    Personally, I think the most comfortable Harden’s were his Adidas before he had his own signature sure.

    No Homo, I like them. I can see myself giving Steph Curry The Worlds Strongest Slam after a quick three coming out of a timeout. Or even A Worlds Strongest Slam to Zaza Pachulia in those new Hardens. Or if things get really bad, Reggie Miller can get one as well in my new Hardens once he starts running his mouth.

    These guys have never steered me wrong.

    They say that the traction is heavily dependent on which color way you get.

    With the Vol. 1, the translucent rubbers performed the best so I would expect that to be the case here as well.
