The adidas Dame X “Black Iron Metallic” is more than just Damian Lillard’s latest signature model—it’s a bold mix of function and form. With its abstract upper and street-ready aesthetic, this pair stands out, whether you’re on court or off duty.
The upper design breaks from tradition. Wavy stripes run along the full length, layered over breathable mesh. It’s sculptural, aggressive, and sets the tone for what this shoe’s about—speed and control. Iron Metallic overlays contrast the black base, while pops of Ludic Blue show up on the tongue and heel branding. It’s subtle flair that nods to Dame’s cool composure under pressure.
Performance-wise, adidas keeps things sharp. A lightweight textile construction ensures breathability, and the shoe’s shape supports quick movement. Underfoot, a Lightstrike midsole offers cushion without bulk, while the rubber outsole’s multidirectional traction grips well in every direction. Perfect for players who rely on agility and fast cuts.
The collar is heavily padded too—ideal for hoopers needing ankle support during longer sessions. And with Dame’s logos woven into the design, there’s no mistaking who this pair is made for.
