Damian Lillard’s Continues Homage To Wrestling Greats With Ric Flair-Inspired adidas Dame 7

Known to turn many of his well-rounded hobbies and interests into striking footwear colorways, Portland’s very own Damian Lillard is on the cusp of releasing is newest adidas Dame 7 in a brand new makeup that calls back to his affinity for professional wrestling. His last silhouette, the Dame 6, delivered a homage to the one-and-only Stone Cold Steve Austin, so this time around the long-range guard is calling out another notable WWE legend: Ric Flair.

Costumed to translate that of the wrestler’s ostentatious robes that he used to be spotted in for entrance walks, this iteration comes clad with royal blue exteriors. Croc-like skins line the lateral and medial walls, and arrive neighbored by silver accents atop the tongue which features the Oakland hooper’s signature logo, as well as lower throat hits that alternate between stripes and “Nature Boy”, Flair’s nickname. Moreover, his signature “Wooooo!” catchphrase is spelled out in tiny lettering across the lateral heels, and in oversized fashion sprawled throughout the treading in silver cursive. These are dropping overseas come September 30th, but expect a stateside adidas.com launch to arrive in the coming weeks.

For other sneaker news, the atmos adidas Superstar Crazy Animal Pack colorway is dropping this weekend.
