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.

The traction is phenomenal. It has a tough bite, and there is no break-in time needed. Just beware of dust pickup.

The traction works right out of the box, especially on clean courts. The shoe picks up dust quickly, though.

I prefer full-length Boost, but I still enjoyed the forefoot Lightstrike. It's bouncy despite being thin. The combination of Boost in the back and Lightstrike in the front is a balanced cushioning setup.

The shank beneath the Lightstrike foam makes the cushioning bouncier than expected. It's a nicely integrated setup of Boost and Lightstrike.

There's a surprising amount of heel compression, and the cushioning is one of my favourite aspects of the shoe. It's low-to-the-ground, responsive, and soft.
 More details
The Lightstrike in the forefeet provides an excellent court feel. It's thin, so it feels firm but bouncy. The Boost in the heel also offers plushness and impact protection.
