Although James Harden has won the Western Conference title before, years ago with the Oklahoma City Thunder, this year’s opportunity to champion the west is vastly different. He’s now a superstar of his own team and likely the league’s MVP, leading the Rockets against the dominating Golden State Warriors and his former teammate, Kevin Durant.

With the series tied 2-2 and Game 5 in Houston tonight, Harden is gearing up for the biggest moment of his career thus far. In doing so, he’ll lace up his second signature silhouette — the adidas Harden Vol. 2. But when the season ends, whatever form that takes for Harden, the Beard will have a budding lifestyle variation of his signature shoe to canvas the summer.

The adidas Harden LS 2 Buckle stands as the second iteration of his Harden LS series. The model’s most noteworthy feature are criss-cross straps that lay overtop the smooth mixed material upper. A juxtaposition of tumbled leather and suede give the LS 2 Buckle a premium aesthetic, while full-length Boost midsole tooling below ensures comfort is also at its height.

A more traditional form of leather marks the heel of the striking new style while its outsole appears in a rigid textile with tiny grooves for proper traction. The adidas Harden LS 2 Buckle is set to debut in black/white and olive-green colorways. Expect the release on May 28 at select three stripes retailers.
