Adidas Dame Certified Review

Pros:
Consistent traction performance
Solid construction and material setup
Cons:
The cushioning is not bouncy
Inconsistent heel lockdown

Performance of the Adidas Dame Certified:

Damian Lillard's affordable shoe hits the market with reliable, consistent traction. Make sure to wipe to keep the performance consistent. The Bounce cushioning doesn't have much bounciness. It feels low profile and offers a decent court feel. Reviewers agree the fit is comfortable, especially after breaking in the shoe. Support and lockdown didn't cause many issues, but some reviewers report inconsistency in the heel lockdown. The materials are a highlight. They aren't premium, but the comfort and performance outperform expectations. Adidas' Dame Certified is an impressive budget-friendly shoe, particularly for players who don't need much cushioning.

The Adidas Dame Certified has no features I hated. The traction is so damn good, the cushioning is responsive, and you're low to the ground the whole time.

The Adidas Dame Certified allows players to change directions well. It's a solid all-around shoe because of the traction but beware of the Bounce cushioning bottoming out.

I enjoyed the Adidas Dame Certified because of the traction and materials. My only concerns are heel lockdown because of the fit and the lack of bounciness in the cushioning.

Overall a good shoe for its price. Traction is top tier. Materials are good though the toe box leather doesn’t feel great. Durability is amazing I use mine outdoor all the time. Cushion is good id recommend replacing the insoles though. I went true to size actually a bit longer of a shoe. Lockdown was good but not amazing I had heel slippage even after doing a runners lace style lacing. But overall it’s an amazing shoe for its price point

Yo this shoe is fucking amazing, for real traction is insane, it grips on outdoors, cushion is really responsive with good court feel but still have a little bit of compression, the lateral support is really good, the fit is really comfortable, the materials are kinda cheap but performance wise they make their job, you can definitely play with them outdoors, the durability should be good (not amazing tho), great shoe for any type of guards.

Been wearing these shoes for about a month and they’re doing great, I use them on outdoors especially on extremely dusty courts and the traction is amazing it stops pretty hard, the only thing bad is that the outsole is already wearing down a bit after using it for just one month. Everything else about the shoe is great, the materials are holding up pretty well and it has a lot of support, the cushion is nice and comfortable.

I really liked the shoe awesome traction it does pick up dust often but its easy to wipe off. Cushion was good they give you a full length bounce. I did have a bit heel slippage but it wasnt a big problem. Haven’t played them in a long time but i think the rubber is very durable. Overall an excellent shoe.

The traction has an amazingly grippy bite. You stop on a dime, and dust pickup is not an issue.

I enjoyed the traction performance. It performs on clean courts, but you should wipe the outsole on dusty courts.

Full-length Bounce foam makes up the cushioning. It provides decent impact protection but isn't the best for explosiveness.

I didn't love the cushioning. The setup is low, and you have a lot of court feel. It's not bouncy at all.

There is more panelling with the materials in the Dame Certified. The eyelets are reinforced, and the shoe is decently padded too.

My favourite part of the shoe is the material setup. The combination of mesh and synthetic materials works really well together.

Support and containment are secure. There's nothing innovative, but everything on the shoe works. The base offers stability, and the upper contains you well.

The panelling on the shoe provides solid support. I had no issues with lockdown and containment in the forefoot, but I needed to tie my laces tight because of the lack of heel containment.
