Amongst all the hype surrounding his shoes, Harden has also been having a great season with the Los Angeles Clippers. It seems like the Clippers are title favorites in the Western Conference solely based on the roster they currently have. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have stayed healthy so far which means the playoffs could get tight. But it is what lies beyond the 2023-24 season that the Clippers have been waiting for some time now.

The Clippers will also have new Association Edition jerseys next season that will feature the new logo. James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George were photographed in these new outfits for the reveal.
