BAPE x adidas Dame 9 | adidas

The upcoming release of the adidas Dame 9 will showcase a unique approach compared to the typical debut of signature basketball footwear.

This deviation from the norm extends beyond most shoes in the market. Instead of widespread availability, the next Damian Lillard sneaker will make its initial entrance through a collaborative effort with BAPE on August 31st, presenting two distinct color schemes for the special occasion.

This is not the premiere collaboration between BAPE and Dame’s signature sneakers; the adidas Dame 4 was previously embellished with camouflage patterns and shark-inspired designs, albeit after being in circulation for a while.

Aligning performance-centric basketball features with renowned elements of street fashion is a guaranteed method to capture attention towards Dame’s freshest signature shoe upon its release.

Two unique color variations are scheduled for August 31st, both prominently showcasing hallmark attributes of BAPE. One iteration resonates with a familiar olive green camouflage theme, while the other leans towards a more refined red camouflage blend.

Both pairs are accompanied by black midsoles and interior linings, complemented by gold accents of adidas and BAPE logos on the tongue and heel correspondingly. Furthermore, there is a distinct red, white, and blue “Olympic” Dame 9, specifically designated for close acquaintances and family members.

Pricing details have not been revealed as of now, however, potential buyers can anticipate to purchase via adidas US at a slightly higher retail price than the standard $120 associated with the model.

Explore official images of both selections below and visit our Sneakers page for a preview of more upcoming releases from the Three Stripes brand.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
