Harden’s seven-day Adidas Uno Fest kicked off on Aug 2 in Guangzhou to launch his ninth signature sneaker, the Harden Vol. 9. Adidas surprised Harden on Aug 5 by unveiling an outdoor basketball court in Guangzhou featuring his larger-than-life mural and the Uno slogan. The guard shared an emotional Instagram post expressing gratitude to Chinese fans and pledged to enjoy the rest of the trip. Thousands of fans flocked to his meet-and-greet events across Guangzhou, Foshan and Shenzhen. The tour follows his late-June re-signing with the Clippers on a two-year, $81.5 million deal, underscoring his global appeal.
