Spoiler alert: Damian Lillard hits another game-winner, this time toppling the Los Angeles Lakers.
The game was tied 110-110 with Dame going between his legs on dribble moves. Lillard stared directly in the direction of defender Brandon Ingram, looking or any movements that would give him an advantage. Ingram backed up just enough after a hesitation move. Damian quickly dribbled into a stepback a foot behind the three-point line. Fading away prevented Ingram’s long arms from blocking the shot, which floated high in the air and into the rim. The Portland Trail Blazers crowd exploded in excitement. Ingram clapped his hands in disappointment after Lillard hit his signature Dame Time wrist tap.
The kicks Lillard wore for this clutch shot was the adidas Dame 4. This signature stuck the formula of Damian’s line, with a small price point ($115) and decent tech. BOUNCE is used in the midsole for responsive cushioning. A open-holed mesh is featured on the upper for breathability throughout. A wavy sole covers for great traction, which is also to made to look like the waveforms of music, playing off Dame DOLLA’s music career.
Damian rocked a black and red PE colorway for this moment, but you can find the other colorways of the adidas Dame 4 at StockX and GOAT.
