The Nets' James Harden is already finding his footing within the local Brooklyn, New York, community that he’s called home for just a couple months now.
Beginning this week with the launch of his new white and black Harden Vol. 5 sneaker, Harden and Adidas are partnering with more than 25 local minority-owned businesses, displaying sneaker signage in storefronts and infusing cash and awareness into the local companies.
