Capitalizing on that lifetime extension deal with Adidas that we at Under The Laces reported on earlier this month, Milwaukee Bucks star guard, Damian Lillard, is taking full advantage of 'Dame Time.' Getting his official collaboration sneaker outside of strictly basketball sneakers, Lillard is releasing a collab with Adidas in the Adidas Superstar model.
The official images have been released showcasing Lillard and the upcoming sneakers showing off the vintage shell-toe look coated in cream and off-white upper and hit with dark green stripes and heel-tabs, a nod to Lillard’s current home team, the 2021 NBA Champions and 2024 NBA in-season tournament winners, the Milwaukee Bucks.
The hits on the heels give a nod to the known themes that have followed Dame's career- the D mixed with the dollar sign shows homage to his Dame D.O.L.L.A. persona in hip-hop, while the stopwatch looks toward the “Dame Time" catchphrase, often setting off the clutch gene in Lillard causing him to make unbelievable shots for his team.
Fans should not have to wait long to get their hands on the special sneaker as it is slated to drop in February of 2025. Only a couple of months before these shell toes can be a part of everyone’s collection. I find this to be a great addition to anybody's collection, no matter the age. It offers a vintage look with the cream base and gold hits that is truly complimentary to any outfit and can elevate a look to where one might want it to be.
