Featuring a signature blend of Boost and Lightning Strike midsole technology, this shoe offers a propulsive feel and a secure lockdown fit, making it an excellent choice for dynamic playstyles.

FAQs
Is the Harden Vol. 9 suitable for outdoor courts?
While durable, the shoe is primarily designed for indoor basketball performance. Outdoor usage may accelerate the wear of the outsole pattern.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The shoe runs true to size, but because of the snug neoprene bootie, those with wider feet might prefer sizing up by a half size.
What is the benefit of the carbon fiber heel cup?
The carbon fiber component provides rigid stability, preventing the heel from sliding inside the shoe during high-speed lateral movements.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the leather and molded overlays.
How do I clean the white sections of the trainer?
A gentle cleaning solution specifically for leather or a simple mixture of mild soap and water on a soft cloth is recommended for the white overlays.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight or restricted
Ensure the laces are fully loosened before entry and consider wearing thinner performance socks to allow the neoprene bootie to conform to your foot.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and prevent permanent creases.
Loss of traction on court
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or a sticky pad to remove dust buildup, which is common on indoor court surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Harden Vol. 9 trainers, proper maintenance is essential.
Setup and Fit: The shoe features a snug, locked-in fit due to the internal neoprene bootie. If you plan to wear thick performance socks, you may find the standard sizing creates a very tight sensation initially. We recommend breaking the shoes in by wearing them during light practice sessions before taking them into full-contact games.
Cleaning and Care:
- Surface Dirt: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust or dried mud from the leather and mesh surfaces.
- Deep Cleaning: Wipe the leather areas with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesive and materials.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the molded overlays and carbon fiber components.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the Boost cushioning and prevent material oxidation.
