James Harden wants to give you life-size gummi sneakers
By Ian Levy
Like sour gummy candy like Trolli? How about some life-size James Harden sneakers made of candy?
Colors, sizes, styles — no matter what your taste is there is likely a basketball shoe out there for you. Now there’s even a basketball shoe for people whose primary “taste” is “sweet tooth.” Celebrating the release of James Harden’s new Trolli Sour Brite Sneakers candy, they have teamed up with Adidas to take the idea to the next level. The life-size level.
There are now three pairs of life-size sour gummi shoes out there, and all you need to do for your chance to win a pair is grab a $5 raffle ticket on StockX. If you win, you don’t just get the delicious footwear, you’ll also win a full prize pack including:
- One of three pairs of gummi sneaks (strawberry/blackberry, lemon/berry punch, lime/raspberry) in a custom sneaker box
- An official Stock X authentication certificate that guarantees they’re the exact specs of the Harden Vol. 2 sneaks
- An autographed pair of Harden Vol. 2’s signed by the beard himself
- A mega supply of Trolli, featuring the new Sour Brite Sneaks.
You have until midnight on Monday, Mar. 26 to get your raffle tickets. All proceeds from the sales go to 3 The Harden Way, a non-profit supporting high achieving students in the Houston Area.

If you were lucky enough to win, then you have the difficult decision about whether to keep the gummi shoes as a collectible, or eat them. They are the kind of thing that would look awesome in the background of your YouTube candy-review show. On the other hand, if you eat both sneakers in one sitting, you’re certain to experience some sugar-rushed visions of a bearded elf crossing fools and draining step back 3-pointers.
First world problems, I guess.
