Adidas Harden Vol. 11 debuts with new cushioning

The change is in the foam. According to WWD, the Harden Vol. 11 has a midsole made from fused supercritical PEBA foam beads, which the outlet describes as lighter and more responsive than Ultraboost.

WWD reports that the material favours bounce over speed and delivers 22 percent more energy return than Lightstrike Pro foam.

The white-and-blue version is called Year of the Goat, according to WWD. The outlet reports a December release through Adidas’ website and selected third-party retailers, though an exact date remains unconfirmed. The price is $160.
