James Harden's very first signature sneaker, the Adidas Harden 1 will reportedly be releasing in December and although Adidas hasn't officially unveiled the much anticipated kicks- they have already leaked online.
And just like many of the other new signature basketball sneakers (CC: Stephen Curry's Curry 2 Low and Andrew Wiggins' Adidas Crazy Explosive), the initial reaction was disproportionately negative.
The overall response was that the shoes looked like a cross between the gunk up that builds up in your ash tray and Harden's defensive ability. A shoe that a coal miner from Zoolander might even turn down, or something straight out of a rhino's ass. In other words, it wasn't pretty.
It's worth pointing out that these grainy, leaked images are never a true representation of what the sneakers look like on-foot but that hasn't stopped the internet from roasting the Adidas Harden 1 with the power of a thousand Suns.
