The Harden Vol. 5 sneaker is the first of its kind to debut the brand’s latest footwear innovation – Futurenatural. Here's what we know about the cool pair of shoes so far:

When is it releasing?

Where can you buy them?

The official Adidas website is one of the best options to consider. It remains to be seen if Adidas also uses Fanatics as a platform to sell the shoes. The price is yet to be revealed. 

What is Futurenatural?

The brand looked at three factors—Fit, Lockdown, and Freedom of movement to design the shoes. According to the official news site, here's how the sneakers were developed:

Fit: We looked at the foot scans of thousands of basketball athletes worldwide and conducted extensive research to create a new last, or shoe mold, that delivers an anatomically correct representation of an athlete’s foot. This creates a revolutionary fit that closely represents the shape of the actual human foot and acts as an extension of the body.

Lockdown: For a superior lockdown, we produced a seamless design. Our design team created an evolved process to forge the textured upper of the shoe using extreme pressure from all directions (360-degrees) and 135-degree heat. The outsole is then assembled to the forged upper of the shoe. The seamless upper and outsole give athletes full ground contact for a natural feel like they’ve never experienced before.

Freedom of movement: Futurenatural also features an athlete data-informed traction pattern that delivers a better grip for quicker cuts and dynamic movement.
