Adidas Harden Vol. 6 Review
Pros:
The traction is better than last year
Full-length Boost midsole is plush
Cons:
Materials don't feel premium
Performance of the Adidas Harden Vol. 6:
The Adidas Harden Vol. 6 is a much-needed improvement compared to Vol. 5.
Reviewers agree that the traction performs very well, and is minimally affected by dusty conditions.
Adidas's Boost foam makes a return on this year's iteration, and the shoe feels responsive. The court feel on the shoe is also fantastic.
The materials start out stiff, but they quickly become foot-conforming and comfortable.
The fit is also much more forgiving than previous Harden models. Most reviewers had no issues with the sizing.
When it comes to the support and lockdown, the materials and fit combine to keep your feet secure no matter what movements you're making.
Adidas returns to their roots with the full-length Boost, similar to the Harden Vol. 1, and they've revitalized the Harden lineup with the release of the Harden Vol. 6.

The Adidas Harden Vol 6 is the best Harden model I've played in, slightly edging out the Vol 1. There are improvements with both the traction and cushion. The only cons I can think of are the cheap-feeling materials and tight toebox.

This shoe is amazing. Just good indoor and outdoor for all positions. Traction top tier, cushion responsive and plush with nice impact protection. The heel is very padded. If you want more forefoot bounce go with the vol 7 cuz the lightstrike there is a lil elastic and bouncier, and the heel in there is still boost with very good impact protection. Overall one of my fav shoes rn, I put them over the Don issue 4 and under the PG 6 by a lil. I got it for 50% of and all my money were worth it.

The quality of the materials in the upper is subpar.
Anything else was pretty dang near perfect for what I look for in a shoe - the outsole is durable and grips extremely well on damp asphalt and indoor rubber and hardwood courts, even being tacky when the courts are clean, the midsole is full-length boost foam, which is soft and comfortable, providing an okay amount of energy return, which I like and they fit me perfectly! They hold on pretty tight and fit true to size on wider feet.

Pretty good, traction is almost top tier, cushion is the perfect medium between court feel and impact protection, support is awesome, BUT the materials are a huge let down, you literally can't play on them when it's hot on outdoors because there is no ventilation at all so you feel that your feet are burning, but a pretty good performer overall. They run a little bit long tho. And don't worry about the weight, the shoe is not bulky at all.

My experience with these shoes was on a dusty court, I cannot speak for how these shoes preform on a clean court. Overall, these shoes had pretty bad traction off the rip. I was constantly wiping and slipping. I’d say the cushion on these shoes is pretty good but the materials are cheap. The shoe is also a little on the bulkier side. If you plan to use these shoes on a court that tends to be dusty, I would not recommend these.

I liked the shoe…it was pretty durable as I wore it a lot outdoors…I liked the cushioning..traction wasn’t the best though..the only problem I had with the shoe is the laces were way too long so they kept untying and stuff…but that’s fixable…and the only reason I wouldn’t buy the shoe would be it’s way too heavy…like too heavy…definitely reuses your vert a bit
