THE STORY
Archrival partnered with adidas to launch the Harden Vol 3 shoe at ASU, the place where it all began for NBA athlete James Harden. adidas + Harden invaded and upleveled the intramural championship games held at the Rec to give players and fans a taste of the big game heat Harden thrives in.
adidas lives at the intersection of sport and culture. Harden exemplifies that better than anyone else. The intramural championship takeover provided an “only adidas would do this” experience that ASU will never forget.
7 leagues, 7 championship games, a 7 hour long event.
