The Dame X represents Damian Lillard’s unwavering determination and poise under pressure, capturing the essence of his “Always Dame Time” mentality. Designed for elite performance, the Dame X focuses on three key elements—comfort, lightweight construction, and traction.

The shoe’s bold, dynamic design mirrors Dame’s fearless approach to the game and his unwavering commitment to his community.
The D.O.N. Issue #7 is built for elite performance, designed to meet the demands of Donovan Mitchell’s powerful game.
