This Adidas Dame X Honors Lillard's Brookfield Village, Oakland Roots

Adidas is gearing up for the launch of the Dame X, Damian Lillard’s milestone tenth signature shoe, and while early leaks and the official All-Star Weekend unveiling showcased a burst of vibrant colorways, a newly surfaced “Core Black” iteration opts for a stealthier approach inspired by the blacktop courts on which Lillard played in Brookfield Village, East Oakland, California.

Official imagery reveals a sleek, monochromatic base with black mesh uppers, tonal overlays, and a fully blacked-out sole unit. The shoe’s subdued look allows the streaking Iron Metallic profile overlays to stand out, giving the sneaker a refined yet aggressive aesthetic. A final pop of Lucid Blue appears on the tongue and outsole Dame logos, injecting a subtle contrast to the otherwise dark palette.

The pair has launched in Youth sizing via Adidas.com. You can shop all things Dame via Kicks Crew as well.

Elsewhere in Adidas Hoops, the brand has teased a first look at the highly anticipated Anthony Edwards 2 (AE2).
