Adidas drops new Harden collab honoring Nipsey Hussle.

Recently, Adidas unveiled their newest creation - the James Harden sneaker, a special collaboration with Marathon Clothing to pay tribute to the late and beloved rapper, Nipsey Hussle. According to USA Today, the latest release from the Cleveland Cavaliers guard, known as the Harden Volume 10, will showcase a stunning royal blue design with the initials "TMC" displayed on the back of the shoe. And that's not all - the insole also features a nod to Harden's hometown of Crenshaw, making this sneaker a personal and meaningful piece for the player.

The highly-anticipated sneaker, priced at $160, hit the shelves on April 12, and within moments, it was completely sold out. Fans and sneaker enthusiasts rushed to get their hands on this exclusive release, proving just how much love and admiration there is for both James Harden and Nipsey Hussle. In addition to their friendship, Harden and Nipsey also shared a connection through their shared roots in Southern Los Angeles.

While Harden hails from Compton, Nipsey grew up in the Crenshaw neighborhood. Their bond was evident in Harden's tribute to the late rapper during the Cleveland Cavaliers' game against the Lakers on March 31 - the anniversary of Nipsey's tragic passing. As he warmed up before the game, Harden proudly sported the new sneaker, paying homage to his friend and his legacy.

Nipsey was the proud owner of Marathon Clothing, a company that he built from the ground up. However, in 2019, the world was shocked and saddened when the 33-year-old was senselessly murdered in front of his store in the Hyde Park area of Los Angeles. In the wake of this tragedy, Harden spoke to reporters and expressed his profound grief and disbelief.

He described Nipsey as a powerful leader, not just for a specific city or community, but for the entire world. He also addressed the senseless violence that took the rapper's life, stating that it's a loss felt by many across the globe and one that still doesn't seem real. As he prepares to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA playoffs as the No.

4 seed, Harden carries the memory and inspiration of his friend with him. The first game against the Toronto Raptors is set to take place on April 18 at Rocket Arena in Ohio. And while Harden and his team focus on their performance on the court, they will also carry the legacy of Nipsey Hussle with them, reminding us all of the enduring impact he had on the world and the lives he touched.

This is just one of the many ways in which the beloved rapper will always be remembered and honored, including the recent announcement that the intersection of Crenshaw and Slauson will be renamed "Nipsey Hussle Square" in his hometown of Los Angeles.
