8 'Pioneer' is crafted with black textile on the upper, supported by a large, teardrop-shaped EVA cage in a contrasting off-white finish. A sock-like cuff delivers a snug, sock-like fit, while a molded heel counter provides rearfoot stability. In addition to James Harden's personal logo on the posterior pull loop, branding elements include black three-stripes at the heel of the Jet Boost midsole. A rubber outsole features a 'JH' traction pattern for optimal grip.
