The Dame X represents Lillard's unwavering determination and poise under pressure, capturing the essence of his "Always Dame Time" mentality.

Designed for elite performance, the Dame X focuses on three key elements—comfort, lightweight construction, and traction. As the first sub-$100 basketball shoe to feature adidas' Lightstrike technology, it delivers premium innovation at an accessible price point.

The shoe's bold, dynamic design mirrors Dame's fearless approach to the game and his unwavering commitment to his community.
