Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden has found the perfect item to go with his signature J-Harden Wines.
According to Sports Illustrated, the basketball-playing entrepreneur arrived in Toronto on Jan. 26 to play a game against the Raptors and brought a special item to Scotiabank Arena. Harden, who has his own signature wine, J-Harden Wines, debuted his latest Adidas signature sneaker to show off the colors of the Harden sneaker that match the colors from the J-Harden Wines bottle.
His eighth version of the sneaker made by the German sneaker brand embodies the same pink, black, and blue colors that the wine bottle displays.
Harden was seen walking into the arena carrying the sneakers and the wine bottle in a see-through case, showing off the footwear before going out to help his team beat the Raptors by a score of 127-107.
The newly revealed sneakers helped make James Harden the eighth player in NBA history to have 75 games where he recorded a triple-double. The latest version of Adidas Harden Vol. 8 is slated to come out on Feb. 23, 2024. It is unknown if the same colors will be available for sale to the general public.
Complex reported that the details and color of the Adidas footwear were taken from the graphic on the 2020 California Red Wine bottle, which retails for $15.99.
“The Beard” is having a good year on and off the court. Last year, before he was traded to the Clippers at the start of the season, while in China, he sold 10,000 bottles of his signature wine within 10 seconds. If you blinked and sneezed, you missed an opportunity to buy a bottle, as it sold out within 10 seconds of announcing that it could be purchased during a livestream.
