First glimpsed during the NBA Playoffs in April, this model follows the debut of the Dame 9 at NBA All-Star Weekend, signaling a new chapter in Lillard's signature line.
One of the first to release is the Dame 9 "Playoffs," — aka "Purple Burst" —a pair that distinguishes itself with a dynamic design. Purple leather encasing the base and a black knit upper for a sleek, performance-ready look are featured. The standout feature is undoubtedly the sunset gradient on the heel's midsole, adding vibrancy to reflect the heat of postseason play.
While Adidas has kept the technical details under wraps, the aesthetic updates suggest a shift towards more layered construction, maintaining the mid-top silhouette familiar to fans of the Dame series. This model appears to be a significant evolution from the Dame 8, promising enhancements that could elevate both performance and style on the court.
Set to release on Adidas.com and select retailers on September 13th, 2024, at a price point of $120, the adidas Dame 9 "Playoffs" is poised to be a pivotal part of Lillard's equipment as he takes on the challenges of the upcoming NBA season.
