It was easy to understand the mission statement of the Los Angeles Clippers coming into the year, a veteran, savvy counterpunch to the rising youth and athleticism of the league. However, in the early goings, it seems that Father Time is winning out in the battle against Inglewood’s finest. Now sliding below a .333 winning percentage, the team’s sole real highlight has been the play of James Harden, unabated by his experience in the league and posting his highest PPG number since leaving Houston.
Will that mean that the Beard gets rewarded with his twelfth All-Star nod come February ’26? We’ll save awards talk for another occasion, but should the California native be on the roster, adidas will have some attention-grabbing wear at the ready. As the Harden Vol. 10 continues its introduction, a shimmering “All-Star” arrangement has just surfaced. The key design feature is a glittery silver exterior, still holding onto enough neutral tonality to match the black bootie interior at the very top of this shoe. That two-tone is more than enough to carry the shoe overal,l, but pops of orange and yellow define the concentric traction underfoot, perhaps as a nod to the scenic vistas of Harden’s hometown and of ASW’s chosen venue for its 75th edition.
This now adds to a growing slate of adidas basketball drops set for Inglewood. As the additional key faces on the Three Stripes signature roster, we can expect Lillard’s Dame X and Edwards’ Anthony Edwards 2 to join the festivities, but so far the adidas DON Issue 7 “All-Star” is the only other shoe to have emerged alongside Harden’s. Be ready for the Harden Vol. 10 “All-Star” come Spring 2026, likely in February, retailing for $160.
