you can try this way:

'tax_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'AND',
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
            'field'    => 'slug',
            'terms'    => array( 'red' ),
        ),
        array(
            'relation' => 'OR',
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
                    'field'    => 'slug',
                    'terms'    => array( 'hard' ),
                ),
                array(
                    'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
                    'field'    => 'slug',
                    'terms'    => array( 'soft' ),
                ),
        ),
    ),

Is untested, but it should work!
