The adidas Harden Vol. 1 colorways will begin coming fast and the Three Stripes brand is doing something a little different this year.
This year’s “Christmas” colorway ditches the red and green for a white-out Harden Vol. 1 Primeknit edition — maybe Harden is hoping for a snowy Christmas Day. This build utilizes some pearl accents at the midfoot shank and three stripes branding and a milky white TPU cage around the Boost.
The Foot Locker release calendar has this adidas Harden Vol. 1 scheduled for December 20. However, Germany’s Kickz.com is releasing this pair in three days and four hours (so it will land on the 20). Primeknit colorways releasing in the U.S. retail price will be $160.

DOPE!!!
TOTALLY RAD !
Definitely clean. I used to be a sucker for all white shoes for casual wear but these are definitely going to be hard to keep clean.
Don’t get me wrong i love a pair of white on white AF1s but i really cant deal with the headache of keeping em clean anymore. Hapoy Duke blessed me with the triple black adidas uncaged
??? Love Those NYC streets
FTL sold these early in San Diego (UTC Mall). I picked them up since I’ve been loving my Pioneers. Retail was 160, and came as pictured above. I posted a pic up on the NT thread for the Hardens there if anyone wants to go there to take a look as well. Oh and that same FTL didn’t have the Dark Ops, so I’m wondering if their stock and or release got mixed up somehow.
For sizing, I have slightly wide feet, so I stuck with my Nike TTS in 11.5. They fit fine lengthwise half a size down, but they definitely cramp my toes a bit, something that I don’t think break-in would fix.
As someone who hovers between half sizes (I’m narrow), the length comments really make me unsure if I were to go full size down.
Would you(or anyone) consider the length half down for these = length TTS for other shoes? For example, an 8.5 Harden is as long as a 9 of something else that’s actually TTS?
Was there Xeno tech? If you snap some good pics of this colorway I’d be happy to post them
By Xeno, you mean the arch and logo having that oyster shell look to it like the production photos posted here? If so, they do.
My potato/iphone cam pics aren’t the best, but I can send some your way if you want. 🙂
I’d appreciate your photos of them! Just take them where there’s a lot of light and a neutral background.
SC posted these as having Xeno reflective technology on them, and got the price wrong. But you said that 1. they were 160 retail, and 2. the logos are iridescent but not XENO.
Sure, where do you want me to send ’em?
Meant to say abalone, not oyster shell. It’s been a long week.
Thank you! noahgoldowitz@weartesters.com
Is the toe covering made of leather or the elastic-like material I think comes on the black Xeno? Thanks!
We just posted a detailed look at this sneaker here: http://weartesters.com/detailed-adidas-harden-vol-1-jsrad/
It’s tough to say, but I have to agree with everyone saying to try them on to be safe if you can.
I guess to compare in my case, the Kobe 11 (in my TTS 11.5) fits more narrow for me around the forefoot area in comparison, but not in a bad way. I enjoyed the Kobe 11 plenty, just wish the traction was better.
I like all white concepts but is it just me (or my monitor) that the TPU part already looks yellow like white shoes do after years in the closet.
These photos are kinda crap, peep the detailed look we posted at these. They aren’t yellowed
Man.. I’m still waiting for the crazy explosives low and D Rose 7 low to compare the looks, as much as I want to cop this one.
