As the brand stares down two major debuts in the coming month, adidas Basketball’s roster is truly rounding into form. Of course the futuristic design language that defines Edwards’, Harden’s, Mitchell’s, and Lillard’s signature shoes has paid dividends, but further clarifying the price points for each has also reduced internal competition, with Dame’s set up as the “budget” option, Spida and Ant residing in the middle, and The Beard’s rising to the top of the vertical.

The $90 price tag is truly half of the appeal with the impending Dame X, but impressive colorway options set the silhouette up for success upon arrival. The “Lucid Lime” and all-black colorways we’ve seen so far set things up for adults, but the “Flash Aqua” at hand provides the first GS-exclusive we’ve recieved, wearing attention-grabbing aquamarine that’s easily in line with flashy kids’ footwear.

Expect the adidas Dame X “Flash Aqua” to land as one of the first few options for the silhouette, overall expected to debut this July.
