Damian Lillard, unfortunately, suffered a career-altering injury last month when he tore his left Achilles. We all wish Dame Time a swift recovery and hope he can return to form, though realistically, the severity of this injury and his age will likely cause his play to decline. Still, the adidas athlete, who just signed a lifetime contract (the first basketball athlete to sign this deal with adidas) at the end of 2024, is expected to launch his latest sneaker, the adidas Dame 10, over the summer.
Sole Retriever can exclusively reveal first looks at the $90 performance basketball sneaker’s All-Star colorway, slated for a February 2026 release to coincide with the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. Like Anthony Edwards’ upcoming adidas AE 2 All-Star, Dame’s 10th model opts for an orange-based color palette, applying a gradient from yellow to orange to blue on the base of the sneaker. Wavy molded striations run the length of the entire upper, rendered in an orange hue and helping reinforce the mesh base.
Moving up, we see black details on the tongue and neoprene collar, while Dame’s logo and the adidas Three Stripes on the heel are finished in a pale orange. Final details on the upper include the blue sockliner, black Three Stripes on the lateral toe, and tonal orange laces on the tongue. Below sits a Lightstrike-cushioned midsole with a bottom-loaded Y-shank for torsion support in a tonal yellow and orange shade.
The adidas Dame 10 All-Star will release on February 13, 2026, through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $90.
