In Summer 2018, adidas launched the Harden Vol. 3 ‘Black Scarlet,’ which pays homage to James Harden’s basketball career at California’s Artesia High School, where he helped lead the team to back-to-back state championships. The colorway of grey and red references the team colors on the mesh upper and also features a black midfoot strap to offer locked-down support. A Boost midsole provides an abundance of responsive cushioning atop a red and white outsole with translucent accents.
