"Can't be out here mismatch" - James Harden flexes custom V9 Maserati inspired by signature 'Metamorphosis' Harden Vol. 9 kicks

James Harden posted a picture of himself on social media in his V9 Maserati that looked like his upcoming signature Adidas shoes. The LA Clippers star's latest collection of shoes, known as Harden Vol. 9, launched in late December 2024 overseas and in early January 2025 in the US. The initial release only featured a couple of colorways priced at $160.

According to sources, Adidas plans on launching several other colorways over the next few months. One of those colorways is known as 'Metamorphosis.' The colorway features a solid green design matched with a black tongue and Adidas' signature three stripes.

James Harden announced on Instagram that 'Metamorphosis' will launch globally on March 15. He did so by posting pictures of himself getting off of his custom V9 Maserati that shares the same design as his signature shoes. Harden also happened to wear the same pair he announced that will be releasing next.

"can’t be out here mismatch… #Uno “Metamorphosis” available globally tomorrow," Harden wrote on Instagram.
