The early returns on James Harden’s first signature shoe are not very good.
The “Triple Black” colorway for James Harden’s first signature shoe from Adidas leaked via Sneakerwatch on Tuesday, and the reactions are coming in quickly.
Unfortunately for Harden, Twitter is treating his shoe the same way it treated Stephen Curry’s Curry 2 Lows, that is to say they are roasting the shoe mercilessly. The shoes certainly haven’t reached the full-on meme status of Curry’s, but people are already having some fun:

Fortunately for James, he can stay out of the spotlight because it’s the off-season. As long as he never brings those shoes anywhere near a court, he should be fine.
