FAQs

What type of cushioning is used in the Harden Vol. 7?

The paisley print is part of the heel overlay. Clean it gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap solution if necessary. Avoid abrasive materials.

What is the primary benefit of the knit collar?

When was the adidas Harden Vol. 7 released?

This specific colorway of the adidas Harden Vol. 7 was released on October 1, 2023.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The knit collar may require a few wears to fully conform to your foot.

Traction is reduced on the court

Wipe the outsole clean with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may be obstructing the traction pattern. Ensure court surface is clean.

Discoloration of the upper or sole

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean only with mild soap and water as per care instructions.

Excessive heat around the ankle/foot

Ensure socks are made of breathable material. Allow shoes to air out between uses. The padded construction is designed for support and may retain more heat.

Care: To maintain the condition of your adidas Harden Vol. 7 trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn stains on the textile, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A brush can be used to remove dirt from the rubber outsole. The Boost and Lightstrike cushioning should also be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Note: Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, as these can damage the shoe's construction and materials.
