It will be some time before Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard makes his highly anticipated return to the court. In the meantime, Lillard's signature sneaker line with adidas is moving full steam ahead.

In July, adidas launched Lillard's tenth signature basketball shoe - the adidas Dame X. Best of all, Lillard's new hoop shoe marks a milestone as the first adidas Basketball signature shoe under $100, without compromising innovation.

Since its launch, the adidas Dame X has dropped in several exciting colorways. Now, the performance model has two more eye-catching styles slated to hit shelves soon.

The Dame X "Electric Pink" and "Black Sulfur" retail for $95 in adult sizes and will be available exclusively on adidas.com, select adidas stores, as well as select retailers from September 1, 2025. Below is a detailed look and breakdown of each shoe.

Tech specs for the performance model include a Lightstrike midsole that delivers lightweight comfort and long-lasting responsiveness. Its stretch-woven material is built for dynamic movement. Lastly, the generative rubber outsole provides reliable grip on the court.
