Adidas Dame X Review
Pros:
Superb price point
Responsive forefoot cushioning
Cons:
Lower material quality
Lack of bounciness
Performance of the Adidas Dame X:
Damian Lillard's tenth signature shoe with Adidas is an impressive, budget-friendly performer without any weaknesses.
Reviewers describe the traction performance as reliable. It performs well on clean courts and isn't affected by dust.
The Lightstrike midsole is responsive, especially under the forefoot, and the impact protection is adequate.
The material quality is not the best, but they do the job. The shoe feels lightweight, comfortable, and breathable.
Support and lockdown are not an issue, but some reviewers report minor heel slippage. The lateral containment and rigidity are solid.
The fit can vary depending on your foot shape. The shoe accommodates wide feet well, but narrower feet may need to size down half a size.
The Adidas Dame X is a very reliable shoe at a great price, thanks to the traction performance and midsole comfort.
