Many NBA basketball stars wear fashion-forward designer clothes while walking into an arena, knowing they will be photographed. James Harden of the Philadelphia 76ers is no exception.
When the 33-year-old California native shared the photos and video below, he wrote: “‘above all create something to be proud of, that’s my goal…’ wanted to perfect the on and off the court shoe I think we did it” and tagged his sneaker partner Adidas.
In 2015, Harden (then with the Houston Rockets) signed a 13-year endorsement deal with the sports apparel company worth about $200 million.

Harden fans are liking the “fit look” and “can’t wait for the shoes to drop” but as one fan pointed out: “wearing ya balling kicks to work is nasty behavior” and explained when asked by another fan, “balling kicks only touch the court.”
