Damian Lillard made history last year when he signed a lifetime contract with adidas, becoming the first NBA player to become a lifelong member of The Three Stripes. Of course, with this signing, we can expect more signature sneakers and lifestyle collaborations from Dame. Sole Retriever was fortunate enough to receive an early in-hand look at his next signature model, the adidas Dame X, during NBA All-Star Weekend.
In October last year, Sole Retriever revealed 3D renderings of the sneaker and showcased an array of upcoming colorways, but this is our first in-hand look at a physical pair. The “Dames Light” colorway pictured here takes inspiration from his kids, who guide him and give him energy. More specifically, the colors chosen are his kids’ favorites. A 3D TPU provides zonal support, running the entire length of the upper and resting below the neoprene collar.
