The adidas Harden Vol. 10 Shimmers In “Metallic Gold”

Could this be the Cleveland Cavaliers year? Game 1 served up a crushing blow to hopes that this was a team of destiny, but as Donovan Mitchell so eloquently put it, losing by 1, 40, or with a 22-point blown lead still counts for the same one-game deficit.

Regardless, this still stands as the closest that this iteration of the Cavaliers have come to the NBA Finals, and perhaps James Harden and his signature line are thinking parade already. To briefly zoom out, adidas has taken a rather unconventional strategy with The Beard’s efforts of late, plotting out a majority of the color options for the Vol. 8 and Vol. 9 functionally as soon as they were unveiled.

Bucking that, his 10th has been a bit cagier with its plans; we’ve uncovered several looks that were unknown at the time of the silhouette’s debut as its story has stretched on. That includes game-worn editions like the Harden Vol. 10 “Clear Cyan” and this pedestal-worthy Harden Vol. 10 in black and gold. In terms of color-blocking, there aren’t many surprises here; black anchoring down the midline and gilded exteriors align with the inner/outer split sticks to the script adidas Basketball has favored so much in recent work. Flares of crimson red underfoot round this pair out.

The adidas Harden Vol. 10 “Black/Gold” is expected to release on June 6th. Canadian retailers have it pegged with a $210 CAD price tag, indicating that in the US, these should clock in with the usual $160 MSRP. Catch official images below.
