Damian Lillard is about to achieve a rare milestone, becoming only the second adidas athlete, alongside Derrick Rose, to receive ten signature shoes. The highly anticipated adidas Dame 10 “Core Black” was first previewed during NBA All-Star Weekend and is now making its way into the spotlight.

The Dame 10 maintains the silhouette of the Dame 9 while incorporating a futuristic and abstract design. Its wavy side stripes stretch across the upper, complementing the breathable mesh underlays and an ultra-padded collar for enhanced ankle support. The Core Black edition showcases Iron Metallic detailing on the waves, while Ludic Blue branding on the tongue and heel adds a subtle pop of contrast.

When it comes to performance, the Dame 10 continues its legacy with Lightstrike cushioning, ensuring responsive energy return and all-day comfort on the court. The outsole traction pattern enhances grip, making it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor play.
