Adidas Harden Volume 7 Review
Pros:
Traction is phenomenal most of the time
Impressive balance in cushioning
Cons:
The shoe is not breathable
Materials are not high-quality
Performance of the Adidas Harden Volume 7:
The latest entry in Harden's signature shoe line features elite traction as long as you wipe on dusty courts.
Adidas' use of Boost in the heel and Lightstrike in the forefoot provide a firm but bouncy and cushioned ride.
The materials are comfortable but not high-quality or breathable.
Support comes from the form-fitting materials and solid base of the shoe. Reviewers did not have any issues.
The Adidas Harden Vol 7 is a versatile performer suited for most players.

This shoe is incredible as it has phenomenal traction, the cushion was comfortable and the support is great. The only downsides of this shoe would be the weight as it is extremely heavy and the ventilation as there is no air flow. But overall this shoe would be a great shoe for forwards and bigs but really questionable for guards. This might be one of hardens best shoes yet

This shoe is great . The only disadvantages that it has is that it’s a little heavy( but you don’t feel it that much), the materials are not breathable and your feet get hot easily and that it picks up a little bit of dust(I play in a dirty court) . Overall it is really good and I really recommend it for strong forwards/wings .

If people aren’t honest , then these reviews are worthless.
This is a very stiff uncomfortable shoe. Adidas hasn’t had a good Harden shoe in a long time. Cushioning isn’t good. Shoes run narrow on a normal width foot.
Try the Adidas Dame for hoops or similar sports.

The cushion in the heel is amazing, but the forefoot feels slightly stiffer than I’d like. Traction is absolutely amazing, even on dusty courts, never let me down. The materials show a little the wear, specially the side panels. Feels decently bouncy too.
