Chapter eleven is officially on the calendar. Sneaker News has official images of the adidas Harden Vol. 11 and confirms the "Lucid Blue" colorway releases December 11, 2026 for $160 at adidas, with a second "Year Of The Goat" edition also expected in December (exact date and price still TBA).
If you've followed the Harden line lately, you know it stopped trying to look like a normal basketball shoe a few models ago, and the Vol. 11 keeps that energy. A molded shell with raised, rippling ridges wraps the shoe like armor, but this time it's scaled down and paired with a mesh upper underneath, so it reads a little lighter than recent volumes. Up front, two fang-like extensions bite into the toe, which is either aggressive design language or the shoe's way of telling defenders to back up. "Lucid Blue" runs a bright violet-blue shell over a clean white base with three stripes on the outsole, while "Year Of The Goat" goes icy pale blue with burgundy stripes and a tan leather heel tab.
Our take: the Harden line is the most polarizing silhouette in signature basketball, and we kind of love that it refuses to apologize. Toning the shell down might win over people who found the last few too much, and $160 lands right where you'd expect for a flagship signature shoe.
