Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. To care for your adidas Harden Vol. 9 trainers, we recommend the following:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe down the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
