There's no question that James Harden has changed the state of basketball. An eight-time NBA All-Star and 2018's NBA Most Valuable Player, Harden's ability to change direction with the ball and his quickness on the court positions him as one of the top NBA scorers of our generation.

Inspired by Harden's evolution and success in the league, we introduce a new, innovative footwear technology, Futurenatural—a shoe mold designed to be an extension of your body, allowing you total freedom of movement. In anticipation of the Harden Vol. 5 drop, we're breaking down the promise of Futurenatural, how it functions, and why this innovation might just change the game.
受哈登在联盟中的进化和成功的启发，我们引入了一种创新的科技——Futurenatural，一种旨在延伸您的身体的鞋型，能让你完全自由活动。哈登5打破了Futurenatural的承诺，它的功能以及创新可能会改变比赛。
①shoe mold: 鞋型
For a basketball shoe to be practical, it requires a unique structure that gives players maximum balance, good grip, and the ability to move without restrictions. Players have no interest in compromising their strength, speed, balance, and control on the court, so we've developed a technology that allows those critical factors to remain.
为了使篮球鞋实用，它需要一种独特的结构，可以为球员提供最大的平衡性，良好的抓地力和不受限制的移动能力。球员对在场上牺牲自己的力量，速度，平衡能力和控制力没有兴趣，因此我们开发了一种新科技，可以保留这些关键因素。
①compromise: 妥协
This one-piece shoe mold works with the athlete's foot to support them as they move freely on the court. To develop this technology, we studied Harden's agility and play style to help with our production approach regarding the shoe's construction. Our process began with taking a close examination of thousands of scans of athletes' feet and conducting extensive research to determine each foot's commonalities and complexities. We were on a quest to determine what was needed to push our performance footwear further than ever before. With this data, we designed a mold that represents the average athlete's foot of today.
这种一体式的鞋型可以使球员在球场上自由移动。为了开发这项科技，我们研究了哈登的敏捷性和打法，以帮助我们设计有关鞋子构造的生产方法。我们一开始仔细调查了成千上万的运动员的脚，并进行广泛的研究以确定每只脚的共性和特殊性。我们正在寻找将鞋发展到前所未有的高度所需的条件。利用这些数据，我们设计了一个能代表当今普遍运动员脚的模型。

Futurenatural creates a formed and secure fit thanks to its seamless design.

Just like Harden himself, this shoe is one-of-a-kind. Designed with bright colors and bold shapes, Harden Vol. 5 reflects both the Houston Rockets' player's dynamic, fluid playing style and his fresh, expressive personality. Because this man isn't shy when it comes to wearing patterns, colors that pop, and abstract designs—we wanted to make sure this shoe reflects just that. To add a personal touch to all that performance technology, we incorporated a few special nods to those that mean most to Harden. On the upper, you'll see a butterfly that represents his mother, a flower symbolizing a close friend that passed away, and a dove that epitomizes his crew that supports him.
就像哈登本人一样，这双鞋是独一无二的。Harden Vol.5设计具有鲜艳的色彩和大胆的形状。哈登Vol.5反映了休斯顿火箭队球员的活力，流畅的比赛风格以及他精力充沛、富有表现力的个性。因为哈登对穿着图案、流行色和抽象设计并不感到羞涩，所以我们希望确保这双鞋能体现这些。为了给这双签名鞋增添个人特色，我们增加了一些对哈登最特别的元素。在鞋面上，你会看到代表他母亲的蝴蝶，象征逝世的挚友的花朵以及象征着支持他的兄弟的鸽子。
