As the second half of the NBA season continues on, James Harden is looking to not only lead the newest statement level sneaker from adidas Basketball, he’s also looking to lead his Houston Rockets back into the playoffs after a slow start to the year.

In a mostly red Primeknit upper, this road colorway made just for Harden in his size 14 features a metallic silver heel counter and bonded taping line extending around the forefoot of the shoe. You’ll also find a merged 13 forming a “H13” icon along the tongue, James’ first custom icon since joining adidas, that we first spotted on his home PE.

Check out James’ road option of the adidas Crazylight Boost 2.5 in detail below, and stay tuned for more exclusive looks at several of this season’s PEs from around the league.

Stay tuned for a look at more of James’ PEs.
