PHOTOS: James Harden sneakers through the years
James Harden‘s sneaker endorsement history is quite interesting. Initially, Harden signed with Nike, inking deals in 2009 and again in 2013. However, in 2015, he made a significant shift, signing a deal with adidas reportedly worth over $200 million across 13 years. Since joining adidas, the 2018 MVP has released eight signature shoe editions.
Take a look at the Nike and adidas sneakers he has worn throughout his NBA career below:
