Just in time for Halloween 2024, adidas is launching the Dame 9 ‘Halloween’, a sneaker that will delight slasher film fans and basketball lovers alike. Damian Lillard's ninth signature silhouette is completely in sinister black, from the upper layer to the inner bootie construction and the tongue. Shiny patent leather gives the sneaker a menacing sheen, while the three stripes on the midfoot with a blade design and bloody drops are reminiscent of Freddy Krueger's famous claws.

A special highlight is the engraving ‘YKW71I’ on the side collar, which is in a bone-like lettering. This refers to Lillard's ‘Dame Time’ and his historic 71-point performance. The black shoe is complemented by red splashes on the midsole, which look like blood splatters and perfectly round off the Halloween aesthetic.

The adidas Dame 9 ‘Halloween’ will release in October 2024, just in time for the Halloween season.

You can buy the adidas Dame 9 ‘Halloween’ from October 2024 for €120 at selected adidas basketball retailers, in-stores and online at adidas.com. Also check out Grailify to find the best shops and release updates.
