Matt Varga Tis the season. Though the Milwaukee Bucks won’t be taking the floor on Christmas Day this year, their superstar point guard is a veteran of the Holiday slate, suiting up once for either of his teams in 2018 and 2023. That resume makes Damian Lillard a perfect match as a centerpiece of adidas Basketball’s Christmas deliveries — the Dame 9 “Pale Vanilla” stands as one of the imprint’s foremost drops for this season alongside the Anthony Edwards 1 “Blue Burst.”
Attach whichever moniker you’d prefer to this pair, “Reindeer,” “Eggnog,” “Christmas,” or otherwise, but the tri-tone arrangement delivers noel overtones all the same. The interior bootie and
fabric shell execute the timeless combination of red and green, while the titular “Pale Vanilla” exterior shell imbues a more refined, cozy atmosphere over top. Though the Dame 9 capitalizes on the same forward-thinking design language that marks Three Stripes basketball offerings like the Harden Vol. 8 and aforementioned adidas AE 1, this particular edition centers around simplistic style, fit for both a festive embrace of the season and year-round flashy flair.
Select European outlets have the adidas Dame 9 queued up for a December 6th release, though no adidas release calendar has this pair listed just yet. Once officially unveiled stateside or otherwise, expect a $120 retail price for men’s sizing.
Switching to a different side of basketball kicks, LaMelo Ball shoes are getting a heavy push in the end of the year, including with the MB.04 “Heem.”
