It’s rare for me to see a performance basketball shoe in the modern era and think they look fantastic. These are incredible. Been wanting a pair since I saw J Dub rock the blue and white ones

What's wild is around 10 years ago Harden had a full collab with y3 and his own y3 shoe, so it's full circle

I had a 95 Toyota Camry that I drove over 300k miles and then sold to my brother-in-law, the pure definition of an A-to-B machine 💪 These shoes are intriguing too 😂

Harden shoes go hard as fuck and perform

My first car was a 1975 Cutlass Supreme Brougham! Such a cool ride. I was a hand me down from my brother. I put in a tape deck with house speakers.

Had a 82 cutlass brougham

my first car is a 1987 honda accord coupe, silver, and hatchback. my daily driver, so nice to drive and i absolutely love the pop-up headlights. truly a gem. weirdest experience was on my first date with my girlfriend driving that car, she slammed the door a little too hard and the window literally fell into the door. had to drive her back home with it down all the way, she felt so bad lol. luckily it was an easy fix

1992 Toyota Tercel with 210,xxx miles. Literally... Still running with oil spitting out of the exhaust for couple of days. Power of 90s Toyota.

My first car was a 1981 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham. I paid 450 for it in 1995. Power everything.

My first car was a 1983 Mazda Rx7. Have had it for 19 years.

Amazing vehicle, wish I could drive it one day!

That Accord looks so cool! I had a 1995 Nissan Sentra as my first car in 2003. It was a great car and was reliable. The Harden Vol 8 looks fun to wear. I can't wait! Is Adidas really confident with their styles so they don't have to brand? The brand is how unique they look compared to the rest of the industry.

Crazy that the seventh and eighth editions are both the best performing and best looking all of these years later. James Harden got better sneakers now than he did in his best years with Houston.

my first car was a Volvo 480 ES and yes it was from the exact same year I was born; 1989. Within the first ride the clutch broke and the repairs for it were just as much as the cost of the car. I had it for a year and loved it to death tho until the radiator broke. After that I was lucky enough to drive a lot of different cars but still casually hunting for a 480ES in good nick.

My car was 91 hatchback Honda civic 5-speed manual teal green . I used to rac😢 in NJ and NY. Me and my boys use to speed and everyone has their own car. Was fun

1993 Lexus es300 from my granny in 2009. I used to leave school with chicks all the time in 11th grade

My first car was a 1986 Chevy Camaro, but the V8 engine was replaced with another not V8 engine so there was space under the hood for more engine. My Dad bought it in ‘95 for $1000. My buddy’s girlfriend’s little brother got a go cart the same year for the same price. My Chevy was a turd and broke down on me constantly, but I did learn the little mechanic knowledge I have from that car.

My first car was a 66' Mustang. My dad and my grandpa restored some of the car and I found my one true love which was a 1991 Mustang GT. Thankfully I had made friends with the local junkyard for tires because I was doing burnouts every day lol! Oh to be a teenager again. I agree both of these shoes are hideous but I like how the new one is pushing the "futuristic" look.

Adidas is bringing back the Kobe 2 style, weird to look at and amazing to wear.

My first car was a 1984 Firebird that had a 4 cylinder engine...midnight blue w/blue vinyl interior. Bought it with a ruined engine for $300 and hoped my parents would let me put a V8 in it, but instead my father showed me how to rebuild it. It was the slowest Firebird ever, but my father and I putting all that work into it made it really special.

I wish I liked Harden more as a player to buy his shoes but thanks for the review and content Chris and Jodie!

been waiting for this one since the first ig post. oooooh boooooy. first car was a 2018 Corolla. I had enough for the down payment and first 4 months of bills after saving up for 2 years. now it's my sister's car and it still runs beautifully.

I've always thought that the Harden line was slightly mad, this confirms yet again. And I think they look amazing. These with the AE1 keep giving me QNTM vibes. 2013 Chrysler 300s when I was 37, lol. Never drove in my native country and when I moved I had to wait for my immigration paperwork to be resolved before I could drive.

Big fan of what Adidas basketball is doing. Taking that early 2000s Adidas era and putting an even more futuristic twist on it. These are great. Black 2-door 2000 Pontiac Grand Am. I thought I was so cool in a not cool car.

Those Harden Vol. 8 are🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 My first car was a brand new 1999 Chevy Cavalier 2 Door Coupe. I love and missed that lil car.......

My dude! Hell yeah! I've wanted a station wagon for a while. We did get a van since we had a 3rd kid and I love that thing. Don't have to fight for space, MIL has ton of room, and the kids have a TV. My first car was a 96 Mitsubishi Mirage (aka Lancer overseas). I beat that thing so much and had it airborne a few time. I was such an idiot when I was young.

Crazy stuff dude, your vol 1 review was the first weartesters vid I saw.

My first car is a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo. My parents bought it brand new and has been in the family since and they handed it down to me. I’ll always love it.

Time to get Chris into an RS6!

Make it happen!

This shoe actually looks nice. My first car was a 1991 Mazda MX-6 GT Turbo, which broke down in 3-4 months.

the silhouette is wild on these and the profile of the shoe reminds me of my first car, a 1990 Chevy Lumina minivan… yeah the one that looked like a cockroach had a baby with a VHS tape rewinder.

Damn, never thought i would buy 2 Adidas basketball shoes to wear casually but here i am. AND!!! These drop on my bday, thanks so much for the review.

My first car was a Chevrolet Malibu 2001 and it was amazing, it was so smooth and classy despite being old as hell, and i remember when I first crashed it It was raining and I fell on a huge pothole on the side of the road. Man those were the days

My first car was an 01 Honda Civic, which I had about 2 years go, with the windows you had to roll down, no a/c, and no aux. We had to get a portable bluetooth speaker to listen to our music instead of the radio, that car lasted me about 3 months, and now I upgraded to a 2018 Honda Civic ex with all the bells and whistles (push to start, sunroof, heated seats, and I can start the car from inside my house), treating me pretty well so far

I love adidas. Today, I just picked up the red vol 7 from Ross. Now I'm waiting to get my hands on a pair of vol 8.

My first car was a 2000 Toyota Revo GLX. It was a second-hand car but was handed down to my uncle and then to me. It was a reliable hauler. Small engine but powerful. Not fast but decent. I still have it today but it’s no longer my daily driver because there’s some electrical issues. One time, I drove it and it stalled on me right after crossing an intersection. The battery died. I had to fetch my other car’s battery just to get it back home. Oh do I love my first car. It’s still sitting in my garage. I still start it up from time to time. It’s kind of a moody car😅😅😅

That's how Harden like it just what he said in an interview. He wanted his shoes to be recognizable.

My first car was a 93 FORD Thunderbird. Its was a hand me down from my mother when she was getting a new car. It was a great car, but a bit of a gas guzzler. Its ok though because gas prices were pre 9/11. I had to get rid of it after I got into an accident at the mall.

My first car is a honda civic 99 model. Got them when I was 18 which is 2018. 😊 my Dad gave it to me when I turned 18 and got my license

My first vehicle was a 1987 Dodge Ram 50. Ugly tan/gold color. Two seats, AM (no FM option) radio. No power anything. I quickly removed the AM radio, and stuffed about $2k worth of sound system into it. This was summer of 1998. I can still hear the ridicule from my father as he could, "hear my truck from a mile away". Anyway, I'm a fan of the Harden line of shoes. The look definitely gets you curious. I gotta try a pair of these.

Only car I’ve ever owned is a 1999 Honda Accord. Parents drove it off the lot in 99. When I got my license it was “mine” but I paid for gas, insurance, etc. I started getting into modifying cars, so my dad just wanted labor. Slowly learning how to work on it, slowly tastefully modifying it. It’s been mine for the last 10 years now. Still running strong, I’m religious with the maintenance and fluid checks. Is it the coolest car? No. But it’s been the most reliable machine since the Nintendo DS

Red '89 Ford Bronco II. 2" lift with all-terrain tires. Pretty nice ride. Only thing was the radio didn't work, so I had a boom box in the back seat until I could get the radio replaced 😂

I ended up buying kind of a ridiculous number of Harden 7 colorways last year, and I'm going to have to get at least a few of these too.

It's a interesting looking shoe. Car wise same year I was born 1978 VW panel van / camper , lowered alot big stereo lots of mods and custom paint . I loved that bus and wish I still had it .

I had a 2000 Ford Mustang that I worked 52 hours a week after high school to save up for! It had an aux cable already installed and I was in heaven lol

Stationwagons are AWESOME. My first car was a beat up '68 Pontiac Firebird. The brakes barely worked, but did that stop me from driving (pun intended)? No. I used the emergency brake to help me stop. Every red light was an adventure.

Thats what i was about to say... the Adidas sizing is crazy!!!! Dame half size down, HV7 TTS AE1 half down.. its wild. One thing i do like that adidas is doing is making their shoes so unique that you can pick them out of anything! Sometimes Nike falls into a rut with the swoosh. IMO

First car was a 1990 Ford Aerostar in grey. That thing was a tank, but I’m grateful because it helped me learn to drive cars and trucks of any size. If I could whip that Aerostar around, I could drive anything haha

Love what adidas is doing right now. AE 1 is my favorite hoop shoe right now. First car: Grandma’s 94 Gold Honda Accord with iffy brakes. It did the job but it’s turning radius was awful

96 Chevy Blazer 4 Dr big white box. The thing was a beast, so much space in the back.

1996 Geo prism lsi!!!! I had it tinted out, had nice system in and i even had a goose neck tv that I put in there. So many memories, lol

My first car was a 1987 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer. I had it until after high school graduation in 2000. I have fond memories with that POS 😅

Back in 2001 (20 yrs old) 1999 Honda Civic LX aka Silvia bka C5 or bka "Is that a M5?" * Full Greddy Exhaust * 4-2-1 Headers * Black Widow side and rear kit * R32 skyline front kit. * 18.5 Velox wheels

I actually love the design of these! Adidas is going crazy. I feel like they are going back to the era of "The Kobe" and maybe proving that they were ahead of their time...

Back in 2008, my first car was a Grey 1992 Honda Civic hatchback! Now I’m rocking a Grey 2011 Toyota Sienna swagger wagon! #dadlife❤

These are too clean … giving me that “ rising sun” jordan 12 / Japan look 🔥🔥

First car was a forest green 97 Chevy Suburban that had been to NOLA and St Louis multiple times for family road trips since my parents didn't fly anywhere.

My first car was a fourth generation Honda Prelude. Not sure on the exact year, but it was probably early to mid 90's. Great looking car, but the backseats were super cramped. Friends always had to duck/tilt their heads in order to fit. Only drove it for about a year though. Unfortunately it was damaged beyond reasonable repair when my friends and I were driving back home from the park. Another friend got into the wrong lane and swerved into my lane while slamming the brakes. Didn't have enough time to brake so I crashed into them, fortunately everyone was fine.

As someone who works for adidas I also don’t understand why our sizing is so out of wack, I’m assuming boost has a lot to do with is since I usually size up with them. But I wear anywhere from 11-12

As wild as these shoes look, I think they look good! I agree with you about the branding on the heel; it looks way better. In regards to the question of the day, my first car was a 1996 Acura Integra. My parents bought it for me used, and despite not taking the best care of it (did some street racing in it), it lasted over 20 years. The only reason why I still don't have it now is because someone stole it a few years ago. I miss that car.

First car was a 1999 Toyota Camry which I was driving around in 2007. Every now and then it would start shaking and shutdown. I’d have to sit wherever it shutdown so the car could cool down and then i could start it back up and resume my day lol

I'm younger than most of y'all here, but first car I got to drive was a 2012 Camry, learned to drive on that car about 5 years ago but family's had it since 2014, 605k kms (375k miles), for ~5 years it was driven as a cab car hence the miles, never had a problem starting, dying & running, easy to maintain and replace, soooo damn good on gas too! We're in Alberta where it gets to -40 celcius in winter, -10 to -15 average (14 to 5 f), has never failed me even once. Still runs strong and fast, brake responsive, quick and nimble, only needs oil changes, tire, brake fluid and alignment check and haven't lost its edge. I'm confident this car's gonna run for another 10 years, this mf is built different, I refuse to buy another vehicle until this thing dies and no longer salvageable, and when it dies I will tattoo it on me.

I'm a big Adidas fan but more for running and lifestyle shoes (clothes are sick too). Wasn't really a fan of their basketball shoes but these are a must get!

My first car was 1983 Olds Cutlas Ciera 2 door. It was medium blue metallic color but looked like it had a white top cause the sun faded the paint. Well did a lot of crazy stuff with that car. I played chicken with another car in it. Then grabbed some air time with that same car like a foot or two off the ground landed it the hub caps came flying off. I used to double pump break and look like I had hydraulics on it. Chris feel your pain with Fords. My 2nd car was 85 Cougar LS with V8 and XR7 package. I had that for a couple of months till the main bearing went out.

My first car 2004 Buick LeSabre loved that car 250k miles and still running ❤

I love it. And its too clean and futuristic ❤ no over decorate on shoes

Old Dahtsun and VW wagons are REALLY REALLY COOL!!

2012 Kia Soul in a sand color. Worked great for seven years and I got a really nice trade-in value for it to help pay for my current Buick Encore. Oh and I like these shoes.

I like the question of the day to get ppl to engage. I haven’t been watching sneaker reviews Ina while. Taking a break from buying. Anyways I had a 1985 Nissan Sentra hatchback. Dull blue. Year older than me so u agree ppl first car should be a car from their year to see the change and lastly I had big home speakers I rigged to the in car speaker to have music throughout the car. My mother got more miles out the car than I did using it as a loaner when her car went down 🤦🏽‍♂️

i think the harden 8 are growing on me, its the weird design that makes them attractive

Adidas got the sneaker game in a chokehold right now, I just picked up the T mac LeBron and tmac blue suedes and added these 2 to my get list this month

These remind me of this one LiNing shoe. Forgot the model name tho😢 my first car was 92 Toyota Cressida

My first car was a burgundy 1992 honda civic lx sedan and the head gasket blew after a week 😂😂, and thanks for the review awesome work per usual 🙌🏽

First car is still my current car, a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid. I have almost wrecked it several times but my superior reaction times keep my record clean 💪. Probably jinxing it writing this though 😅

1997 Ford Taurus. Gaskets blew and I sold it on my birthday. It got me around. If you didn't slam the front passenger door it would fly open lol . The Green Goblin lol

I’m glad your back

That’s amazing. My first car was from the year I was born haha 1997 Red Saturn Wagon. Was a great car until I slid in the rain and totaled it.

Aesthetically, I pref these over the 7's for sure. Concept is spot on. Still haven't seen a pair of 7's in person though unfortunately. I would like to try either on court, esp after your review! I haven't played in Adidas since the Tmac 3 and 5 LOL. But these and the AE's look awesome. My first ride was a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX aka "Bugeye" I painted it with bedliner 😂 it was indestructible

Can’t wait to try these out! Adidas is killing it!

My eyes were drawn to the vol.7, especially the all red and the all black, and then when you put them on you're like man these are fire on feet

Had these on the court this week. They feel amazing.

1994 Toyota Corolla, which it locked it steering wheel in the middle of the road. Damn had to push rev it gently just to get to the curbside.

Get the station wagon! Also, my first car was a 2002 Kia Spectra LS, stick shift. The belts would never be tight enough so it would squeal nonstop and the dashboard was coming apart by itself. but it did get 31 miles per gallon and had aftermarket stereo so it would shake the ground 😂

Love the look of those 8's. I was born in 1975 and my first car was a 1979 Chevy Camaro.

First car: 1986 Porsche 944. Yeah. I realize that sounds super bougie. Story: I begged my dad to get me a stick shift. He said whatever I could find under $3500. I found this freaking Porsche with 169K on it for $3300 and it was awesome! Learned a lot about car maintenance (part of the deal) by undoing the brute strength of the fictional German mechanic “Hans” who had single-handedly torqued every bolt on the car within a millimeter of its life! Sold it 5 years later running better than when I found it to another first-time stick driver!

Oh man this is sneaker review not for a car😅, im waiting for this harden vol. 8 thanks Cris for another cool review..

Mine was a 1988 Pontiac Firebird 5spd manual that my grandpa bought for me , one time in the Rain I was drifting with the homies we were Hi as heCk and I slid right into a curb and blew my wheel up in was stuck in my wheel well and I drove it while the wheel was stuck in place and sparks were flying all over it was so Great hahaa miss that Car

I love the minimal branding that adidas’s has taken with these and the AE1. Once you brought up concept cars that’s all I can see on that pair now

These look so cool!! We definitely need a review on how they perform on court! Please and thank you!!

they look so fresh, unique like The Kobes (Adidas gen 1)

89’ Lincoln Towncar. And I want the orange Harden’s the most

My first car was a 1992 Ford Escort station wagon. Which I bought after immigrating to the US in 1995. I actually wanted a big ass American boat car - the Blues Brothers kind but luckily I got talked out of that. This being a Ford though, naturally it had plenty of disasters, the biggest one being the material between the rear axel and the bracket that holds it disintegrated, and the axel was banging around in the bracket. Going over a railroad crossing felt like a cave troll was hammering the underside of the car with a club. 😯 Oh yeah, and station wagons ARE cool! I still want an Audi RS4 wagon! ❤

Internal bootie is crazy 😂. Love the content. Always thorough and entertaining.

My first car was a 2015 ford Ka hatchback. A funny experience I had looking back was one time I left my at the time girlfriend at the bust station and when I when to leave the the hatch on the back right passenger door failed and wouldn’t close, so I had to drive in a really built city for about 30min with that door not closing, just opening and closing while in traffic until I could pickup my friend who could hold it in place until I got home

1989 Pontiac Tempest also had an old car that was long like a boat. Harden vol 8s looks like a concept car of the future that they would show at an Autoshow in 1992.

Sci-Fi modern art elegance for your feet?! These. Are. Effing. Dope.

My 1st car was a 1992 GEO METRO. That power rangers tee is dope.

reminds me of how nike/jordan would release playoff/elite/AE versions of their signatures…this is like the harden vol 7 elite version

Wagons are the best you should think about an Audi RS6. Mine was a 1995 Subaru Impreza outback sport which was a wagon.

2013 Subaru XV, blue color, 2.0 ltr boxer engine, still have it till this day

First time I saw these I was like WTH are these.. but now that I see them more they kinda grew on me. I would rock these now FR 😆🤩
