Jalen Williams Unveils New Adidas Harden Vol. 9 Ahead of June Release

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — Jalen Williams, an emerging star for the NBA‘s Oklahoma City Thunder, is set to expand his influence beyond the court with the upcoming release of his own colorway of the adidas Harden Vol. 9. Slated to debut in June 2025, the sneaker will be priced at $160 USD.
This collaboration highlights Williams’ rapid ascent in the league. The athlete, nicknamed ‘J-Dub,’ is currently in his third season and averages over 20 points per game. His impressive performance has secured him a position on the NBA All-Star roster this season.
The special edition Harden Vol. 9 features a vibrant design that begins with a base of “Footwear White,” transitioning into “Lucid Lime” at the mesh underlays, which form the signature Three Stripes of the adidas brand. The sneaker’s intricate details include pink accents, contrasting purple at the inner bootie and laces, and bright green pull tabs that showcase Williams’ jersey number eight at the front.
“This sneaker really represents who I am as a player and a person,” Williams stated during a recent interview. “It’s more than just a shoe; it’s a reflection of my journey and style on and off the court.”
Williams’ personal logo, “J-Dub,” appears prominently on both the heel and toe, while a blue outsole completes the design. The shoe is engineered for performance, incorporating lightweight materials that enhance breathability and durability, perfect for the demands of professional basketball.
The adidas Harden Vol. 9 has gained attention not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its functionality. Designed with basketball players in mind, the shoe promises high stability and responsiveness, which are essential for guards who rely on agility and quick movements during games.
As interest builds around the Jalen Williams edition, sneaker enthusiasts are encouraged to keep an eye out for further announcements from adidas as we approach the June release date. The sneaker will be available through adidas and select retail partners.
