To celebrate Harden's evolution in Tempe, Arizona where his No. 13 jersey now hangs from the rafters at Arizona State University, Adidas introduces the Harden Vol. 1 "Fear the Fork" edition.
The Harden Vol. 1 "Fear the Fork" features a black knit upper and gold across the toe, laces, three stripes and Harden Mark to reflect the desert sun and pay tribute to the gold in ASU's uniforms.
"I decided to go to ASU, do my own thing and it was all work from there. That was the beginning of who I am as a man," Harden explained. "I could've left school after my freshman year, but I felt like I wasn't mature yet and had more growing up to do. Arizona State helped me, and I got to show my love and how much they mean to me."
Earning consensus All-American and Pac-10 Player of the Year honors his sophomore season, Harden was selected as the third overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft - cementing his Sun Devil legacy.
The Harden Vol. 1 "Fear the Fork" will launch on March 4th at adidas.com for $140.
