Some extra english was used by Damian Lillard in this difficult reverse layup against the Sacramento Kings.
On this play, Dame took a handoff pass from teammate Meyers Leonard that also picked off defender Ben McLemore. Lillard drove to the hoop only to be met by Anthony Tolliver. Lillard went up with the layup, then double-clutched a shot under the rim. The ball was finessed near the top of the backboard before dropping cleanly through the net.
The sneakers worn for this moment was the adidas Dame 3. This was the first signature shoe for Damian to feature the “Dame” moniker, as his previous shoes were dubbed the “D Lillard” 1 and 2. Full-length Bounce cushioning was used to provide a firm, yet springy feeling. A jacquard woven upper was utilized to provide a soft, durable structure.
Lillard rocked a black and red PE for this highlight, but you can find other colorways of the adidas Dame 3 at StockX and GOAT.
