Roughly mid-way through the NBA season is when new signature shoes across all brands are typically brought to market. One to look out for is the latest from adidas Alpha and Damian Lillard – a dynamic duo that is ready to embark on an eighth chapter of their signature shoe journey. Boasting a lightweight Bounce Pro midsole, the Dame 8 offers the competent blend of speed, stability, and durability, mirroring Lillard’s boxer mentality and relentless training routing.
Kicking things off are two renditions of the “4th QT K.O.”, a nod to Dame’s insanely clutch buzzer-beater shots in crunch time. Following those two is the “Dame Time”, featuring classic Portland colors, and a “Respect My Name” covered in a vibrant teal and hot pink.
The release info is as follows: the Bold Purple/Electric Yellow leads things off with a December 19th release for $120, while the remaining three are expected to hit adidas.com and partnering retailers in early 2022. See a first look at all four colorways and stay tuned for release.
