The sneaker sold out on the day of release
Adidas has recently released the latest James Harden sneaker, a collaboration with Marathon Clothing to honor the late rapper Nipsey Hussle.
Harden and Nipsey were both from Southern Los Angeles; Harden is from Compton, while Nipsey grew up in Crenshaw.
After the rapper was killed, Harden spoke to reporters several days later and talked about what he meant to the world.
“He was powerful. Not just to a certain dynamic or a certain city, but just to the world. He was a leader. He was so many things. His life got taken away off nonsense, off BS. It’s been sad, man. Not only myself, but a lot of people around this world were affected by it. It doesn’t seem real.”
