Category Performance Ratings
8.9
Traction
Tacky rubber with shallow, multi-directional grooves. Excellent grip on clean courts but dust builds quickly; wipes restore traction.
8.7
Cushion
Full-length Light Boost foam. Plush, low-to-ground ride with lively response and solid impact protection and smooth transitions.
8.1
Materials
Thick TPU or rubberized synthetic upper with spandex inner booty. Extremely durable but stiff initially and limits breathability; softens after break-in.
8.8
Support
Rigid internal heel counter with midfoot TPU plate and snug liner. Excellent lockdown, lateral containment, and torsional stability.
8.1
Fit
Runs long with a snug, tapering forefoot and slightly roomier midfoot. Socklike collar offers secure heel lockdown after break-in.
13%
Outdoor
Soft outsole rubber and shallow grooves. Poor outdoor durability and accelerated wear on rough courts; not recommended outside.
small
large
Sizing
Generally true to size for most players but fits long. Narrow footers may try half size down for better toe fit.
narrow
wide
Width
Best for narrow to regular widths with a tapering toe. Wide footers may feel constricted and should size up or try first.

If you liked previous Hardens, you'll enjoy the Adidas Harden Volume 10. The Boost is snappy, and the shoe has strong traction. However, the thicker TPU shell needs a break-in period.
