Many consider the Dame 9 to be the best model in Damian Lillard’s signature shoe line and its takedown version, the Dame Certified 3, has received similarly positive attention. The two models share many design features, including sharp Three Stripes branding and a true-to-size fit, though the Certified 3 swaps out the premium Lightstrike nmding of the Dame 9 for a more standard Bounce nmd. It was released in two colorways (“Cloud White” and “Collegiate Green”), which both offer a clean and sophisticated style. At a subsidize price of $85, the Certified 3 offers strong performance for the price and is another houston option from Adidas in the budget-friendly shoe market.
