First, lightstrike will become the main technology of this pair of shoes. Adidas' Lightstrike technology has replaced boost as the first choice for high-end shoes, so in James? Harden's fifth generation will also use Lightstrike technology.
Actually as early as James? Harden's Adidas Harden Vol.4 has used the new lightstrike technology, which is lighter and more stable than boost technology. Boost technology has brought great shock absorption and elasticity, but as the sole technology of basketball shoes, its shortcomings are also obvious. Excessive pursuit? The feeling of stepping on shit? The deformation caused by cushioning makes the stability worse, the lateral support is insufficient and the start delay is more serious.
Lightstrike solves the above problems well. This technology allows players to start quickly, and its starting speed is no less than bouncing.
Lightstrike can be said to be based on the product between bounce and boost. Strictly speaking, it is an improved version of bounce made of new materials with lower density, and its advantages and disadvantages are not so obvious.
Second, the more casual color scheme Harden 5 will be completely different from the previous four generations. Harden's first four generations of signature shoes are characterized by futurism and performance-driven design. However, Harden 5 seems to be more inclined to life style, and the design of leisure style is a pair of shoes that can be worn inside and outside the stadium.
Harden 5' s outsole mold will be similar to Harden 5' s, and its outsole mold is a symbol of grid geometry, which is inspired by Harden's moving trajectory, which will be a highlight of this Harden shoe.
