About this deal

If you're a fan of Damian Lillard or just looking for a sick pair of kicks, look no further than KICKS CREW. The herringbone outsole provides ultimate traction, while the midfoot banking barrier allows for lateral stability for quick changes of direction. It just won’t give you the look of premium leather but that might not be an issue if you’re just using these on-court. A moment of applause for Adidas here – literally nothing to complain about (besides the sizing), no matter how much I wanted to.

While I’ve felt going true to size with the Harden Vol 3, N3XT L3V3L and BYW X was the right option, going down 1/2 will be best for the Dame 5. From what I’ve seen on shoetube, it fits well, traction is great and heel cushion is very comfy with a lower firmer forefoot. I remember Ektio because that was one of the first reviews of yours I that I read (along with the K1X Anti-Gravity).

The grippy, wave-patterned outsole gives you the traction you need for those ankle-breaking moves or to showcase your footwork on the court. The Pro Bounce seems like it has better cushioning (than Dame 4), but it seems to sacrifice speed for stability. Because it’s as thick as it is, they’d make for a very solid outdoor option for anyone that plays primarily outside.

I still really like the cushioning on the Dame 5 but I don’t think it has the comfort of the Dame 2 which wowed me out of the box. If you enjoy court feel but want a balanced cushioning set up with some bounce back these are for you. So note to companies: keep the traction sharp, and you can still make the soles durable without sacrificing traction. Its full length setup is more than welcomed on a shoe that has remained affordable since its inception.Dame’s latest signature features full-length Bounce cushioning and a lateral banking barrier for on-court stability. I always see a spike in my shooting percentage when I wear shoes with greater forefoot stability and these may have taken the second place spot — number one still goes to Ektio. Nothing wrong with it from a performance aspect; it felt and played like leather on-foot which is the whole point of using it.

The Dame 5 has a solid mixture of flexible and not in-your-face materials, the inside of the shoe has a lot of soft padding for a pleasant experience for your feet, plus, you sit inside the shoe’s midsole, so it feels like you’re almost sinking into the shoe’s awesomeness, but performance isn’t taken away either. I don’t see the shoe breaking down any time soon on me and I surely plan on playing with these for quite some time. When on one of those less than desirable courts, the bite of the grip lessened a bit yet remained reliable.Not the case for the Dame 5 though – much like the KD 12, I’ve experienced near-perfect traction both indoors and outdoors. I just got the Black Panther colorway and the rubber definitely feels different in grip from the People’s Champ colorway.
