Even though Damian Lillard’s latest signature shoe was only revealed a few months ago, and he's going to be out for the entirety of the 2025-26 NBA season, it’s already developed a pretty strong following. And we’re not surprised. Building on the success of the Dame 9, the new silhouette refines everything that made its predecessor great and pushes performance even further.
Compared to a lot of other Dame 10s out there, the adidas Dame 10 Silver Metallic Lucid Red GS keeps things relatively low-key. It works on top of a lightweight Grey Two mesh base for enhanced breathability and performance, overlaid with a series of 3D-printed Silver Metallic panels that strategically support the zones of the shoe where it’s most needed, from explosive takeoffs to sharp lateral cuts.
