James Harden Debuts the adidas Harden Vol. 10
In a move that has sent sneaker enthusiasts and basketball fans into a frenzy,James Hardenhas officially unveiled his tenth signature shoe, the adidas Harden Vol. 10, during his annual tour of China. While the silhouette has been subject to leaked images for months, Harden's personal reveal on Instagram provides the first clear look at the shoe in a black and metallic silver colorway.
The Harden Vol. 10 builds on the futuristic design language of its predecessors, the Vol. 7, 8, and 9. It features a similar mid-cut upper but with a newly designed molded shell on the sides that adds a striking, ripple-like texture in an elliptical pattern for the forefoot. This aggressive, contoured design is a subtle nod to the sneaker's predecessor, but with an updated aesthetic. The shoe maintains a minimalist yet futuristic feel, with Harden's signature logo stamped on the heel and adidas' Three Stripes branding appearing on the heel of the outsole.
The choice to debut the shoe on his China tour is a powerful strategic move. Harden's relationship with Chinese fans is legendary, with his annual trips drawing massive crowds and his brand transcending basketball. By launching the Vol. 10 here, adidas is directly acknowledging the importance of this market and rewarding his loyal international following. While a wider global release is rumored for November 2025, this exclusive first look in China solidifies Harden's status as a rock star in the country and a global force in the sneaker world.

Alexander Isak's CONTROVERSIAL move will give Liverpool pause
Liverpool are bound to pause after witnessing Alexander Isak's controversial move. Should a deal still happen? The Alexander Isak saga continues as Liverpool do what they can to sign the striker. The Reds have had him at the top of their shortlist all year - now things are starting to accelerate. The Chronicle goes as far as claiming insiders at Newcastle United feel Isak has played his final game for the club. That's perhaps the strongest line yet that he'll be on the move.

LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 'On the move', of course, means to Liverpool. That's Isak's destination of choice and the only club willing to stump up the kind of cash Newcastle want. It would take a record fee for them to even consider a sale. And even then, they haven't wanted to let go of their star player. The result is Isak trying to force their hand and things continue to escalate there. Enough so that it may give Liverpool pause. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Alexander Isak's attempts The Chronicle report is not the only one to say that Isak reacted incredibly poorly to Newcastle's latest attempts to reintegrate him. "It is understood that the prospect of reintegration was put to the 25-year-old in the build-up to Newcastle's friendly double header," writes Lee Ryder. "But Chronicle Live understands that Isak's reaction to that idea made it impossible for him to be selected - regardless of being fully fit." Impossible? That's a remarkably poor reaction - one that isn't reflecting too well on a player who still has three years remaining on his contract. Liverpool, after all, massively value a player's personality and attitude before signing them. Isak completely isolating himself from Newcastle's squad - to the point where he heads to the training ground after the rest of the squad has left - isn't a positive sign.

Liverpool Transfer News: Centre-back signing is now IMMINENT
Liverpool are in need of a centre-back. It's paramount that we sign at least one this summer. The dangers surrounding Liverpool going into the season without another defensive signing have been laid out and you feel it's too big a risk for the club to take, given the size of their ambitions. 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Money has been brought in from Jarell Quansah and Trent Alexander-Arnold, although their income will likely have gone towards affording the moves for Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range But another defensive departure now looks to be inevitable and now we're convinced that a centre-back signing is imminent. All the signs are pointing towards immediate action being taken. Tsimikas is expected to leave Since the experience of Andy Robertson is essential to helping Kerkez get to grips with his surroundings, and given the Scot is still able to deliver stable and mature performances, it feels likely that Kostas Tsimikas will be the left-back that departs and Paul Joyce has given us an update on him. In a post on X, the Times' journalist said: "Kostas Tsimikas not in Liverpool squad. "Nottingham Forest asked earlier in the transfer window about the left-back and there has been more European and domestic interest. Liverpool would only consider a permanent deal at this stage." Of course, the squad that the Green Scouser was left out of was for the Community Shield match against Crystal Palace, held at Wembley on Sunday afternoon, and it's an ominous sign. Not every player absent from the contest is set to leave - Ryan Gravenberch missed the game due to his partner giving birth on Saturday evening - but Tsimikas' Liverpool future is definitely in doubt now. Of course, during pre-season, the Greek left-back was positioned at centre-back on occasion, since Joe Gomez is currently injured and Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate couldn't play every minute. With another one of our centre-back 'options' as Slot calls them set to leave, you feel it's now even more likely that a new defender will arrive and many will be hoping the arrival is Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi - who excelled against the Reds in Sunday's match. His quality was clear for all to see. But the young protege at Parma in Giovanni Leoni is also considered a target and a move for him could materialise over the next few weeks. Ideally both of them would join to bolster our ranks. For now, we'll have to sit back and wait for any movement, but it seems the writing's on the wall now.
