As of right now, the NBA team of our hero from today’s story has been decimated by injuries yet again, just like over previous years.

First, there is the latest and perhaps most significant situation with CJ McCollum, Jusuf Nurkić was hurt earlier and Zach Collins is not in the lineup either. That’s why Damian Lillard can truly be called a hero because it is time again for him to put the Blazers on his back. For something like that, he will probably have to return to the level when he was the unanimous “bubble” regular season MVP and that will surely delight all fans of great, brave and spectacular basketball moves.

After a short test, his new adidas Dame 7 sneakers are somehow just like that! Before we take the time to get into specifics, we still need to say a few things about the entire line since seven is definitely a number that gives any signature line added value. On the aesthetic side, each of the seven editions always had great colorways, which is why everyone could find the model that fits with any jersey, team uniform or any other outfit. The way how everyone found the right model for themselves is best seen in the fact that the stock of Lillard sneakers is always relatively low in our stores, so we emphasize in advance that you should follow all of our social media and then be extremely fast when shopping ;D

Now it’s time to take the magnifier and get into the review! First we should definitely mention the return of Lightstrike technology (full length) which is now used in a large number of adidas basketball sneakers (including last year’s Dame 6) and the reason for that is of course the comfort it provides.

It seems that a certain modification was made here, due to which the heel is raised in relation to the toes, and this undoubtedly enhances the feeling of speed and responsiveness. Below, on the rubber sole, there is an interesting “Z” pattern (or maybe it is the number 7?), which according to some tests was proven to be a reliable solution even for outdoor courts. Note that these were smoother outer surfaces, so this could be useful to keep in mind when buying. We said the sneaker is brave, and that includes the decision to be in a lower price range than most signature models which is a great move – just like some Lillard long-range-buzzer-beater-game-winning three point shot.

We are especially happy that this did not decrease the quality or durability of the sneaker, even though there are no premium (i.e. leather) materials as mesh is used.

One very good thing that we can already see on announced colorways is that the mesh is layered and very well used for awesome combinations of colors, details and messages. Furthermore, the entire upper provides stability for the foot and this was reinforced by side-stitched parts that were also used as additional eyelets for shoe laces. It seems that this could give another dimension to the sneaker due to the various lacing possibilities. Of the functional details, the padding in the inner part above the heel or around the ankle should be pointed out as it gives more comfort and lockdown. When it comes to comfort, the whole “fit” is great and we can generally recommend to choose a pair in your standard adidas size (true to size).

If you still can’t make a decision after reading this, maybe it’s time to take a look at this sneaker not only on NBA courts but also in the NBA2K21 video game for which Lillard is the cover athlete and within which Dame 7 was officially presented!

You may have noticed that we used the word “time” several times in the blog, and not once the battle cry of our hero. We thought we might be able to do the whole text without it, but – it’s Dame time!
