Watch James Harden throw out first pitch at Astros game

Houston Rockets star James Harden took the mound before a Houston Astros game on Tuesday to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, and unlike some other athletes, he managed not to embarrass himself. 

There are a couple of things to watch closely here in the southpaw's delivery, though.

The start of the windup looks pretty good, although the leg kick doesn't generate a lot of velocity due to the skinny jeans being a little too restrictive. That leaves Harden throwing some Jamie Moyer junk, but it's straight and gets to the catcher, which is better than winging it wide left 50 Cent style or tagging the cameraman with some errant heat. 

Real quick though, we have to ask: are those Nikes or Adidas?

Yes, we're seriously asking...what are those?
