A First and Only Look at Lil Baby’s adidas Harden Vol. 7 “Chrome”
A 1-of-1 pair he performed in for James Harden's 33rd birthday party.
James Harden is indubitably a star on the court, and balls like one as well off of it. As bold as he is when it comes to his scoring decisions, the same chutzpah bleeds into his outfit choices. Like any game he plays, he’s had some hits and misses—but nobody’s ever as audacious to take the shot.
The Beard, a monicker bestowed upon him for obvious reasons, is easily one of the league’s most fashion-forward players. While many basketball sneakers have thrived on a maximalist, multi-material, and oversized design, the entire adidas Harden line has always gone the other way, except for the sometimes vibrant colorway. Thus, there’s no surprise that the reflective “Chrome” silhouette is part of the family; loud enough to make you turn, just muted enough to make you listen.
During his recent 33rd birthday celebration, he commissioned an exclusive 1-of-1 pair for Lil Baby to perform in. The Harden Vol. 7 was first teased in purple a few weeks ago and speculation has kept swirling since.
Lil Baby’s exclusive pair has a chrome finish and curved panels that tips from the vamp, surrounding the eye stays, tongue, and collar—all in black. The branding elements are also non-existent, save for the Three Stripes on the heel. This is a friends and family exclusive but a general release should be upon us soon as the new NBA season approaches.
James Harden’s all-white party had a star-studded guest list attended by the likes of Travis Scott, Kevin Durant, and Future.
Here’s another adidas sneaker that’s seen it all, balling out on the court and in the clubs, the adidas Forum Low “Lakers Leopard”, an homage to the Showtime era of the Lakers.
