Adidas Dame 8 Performance Review! 

I really like the look of the Dame 8 I just got the Don issue 3 and I love them. I like how Adidas shoes feel.

Ived practiced on these for about a week and the traction the first day was horrible, but as I use them the traction keeps getting better

Stellar review covering all relevant issues i just subscribed and thanks to you they check all the boxes for me for casual use only so but it’s good to know how theirs not like the “and ones” which are for outdoor basketball so. I got it!!!

I think the traction needs time to break in, bc the traction of mine is godly after playing with them for a week

I just got these and I play on a pretty average to below average court. I had no issue with the traction on the first day. Overall performance was great.

Maybe the rubber outsole just needs some break in before it grips consistently

Its the lubricant they use on the rubber…try washing it with detergent soap…its seems crazy but it works

Just copped me some black ones for $30 at Ross excited to use these tomorrow.

I'm a big guy 6'3", 270 lbs, size 14 shoe and these shoes are perfect to me. I need that cushion.

I’ve heard a lot of good stuff about the traction so I’m pretty sure it was bad for him cus the shoe was a bit big

I love my Dame 7, but in Adidas world the fits are weird. Make sure to try different sizes!

I have a feeling they'll fix the rubber compound for these to improve the traction

Love these shoes. Battle of the bubble is the best colorway imo

Favourite player and favourite signature. 💯

i used these indoor my very first time getting them and they had great traction. i used them outdoors a couple of times after and took them back indoor and the traction was even better. idk if it’s because i got a later colorway that came out or what but i have a good time with these.

The first time I use Basketball shoes they’re always slippery but after a couple days the traction gets normal u just got to break them in

These fit a full size large, I have a pair of kyrie infinity size 9.5 and these in 8.5. They are exactly the same fit.

How does the forefoot cushion feel? Soft and mushy like the heel or does it mellow out?

I love the Dame 8s for outdoor use, great cushion and super durable. After about 6 months of wear and tear these slip and slide on dusty indoor courts. Still great for outdoor use and will probably last me another 6 months outdoors. (Any shoe recommendations for shoes with better indoor traction but the same fit as the Dame 8's??? )

Hey sam if im 9us in adidas size what to get in dame 8?

THE BEST FOR WIDE FOOTERS AND outdoor shoe

For me the shoe fits too long, so I had to go half a size down. Sizing with the dames is super important. It went from feeling awful to wear to my favorite shoe.

Just ordered these. Love milk nine zoom separates, those are hard to find. I have wide flat feet and hoping these are good fit for me.

I suppose that I have a wide foot. I ordered the following in size 13s: Lebron XX, Lebron NXXt, NB 2 Wxy V3, and the Dame 8. The Dame 8 was the only one that felt 100% comfortable in the toe box area and not overly constraining.

yeahh let's go waiting to this

im i the only one noticing this he's not mentioning has far has durability goes? oh well im curious if this will last long time outdoors tell me guys what u think on the comment section below but sammy say its ok tho hmm??

Fantastic shoe! 🔥.

My friend told after i use the custom insole for 6months. Go buy for highend insole for more stiff and comfortable

are they good for outdoor

Curious that other reviewers have said the Dame 8 has excellent traction.

are these okay for outdoor use? im having trouble deciding between the 7s and 8s, please help.

the traction is similar to my Dame 7. When the shoes were new I didn't like how they hold the court either. But after six months they got better! hold even a dusty glade! The worst traction is HARDEN 5 (((

Why adidas didn’t notice this kind of reviews. They don’t change the concept for the outsoles. I have dame 4 and it’s terrible too for the sideway run test but for forward and backwards test it’s good. I was hoping on the next shoes for dame to change it. But i saw this review again, nothings change for the outsoles. But dame is getting stiffier, and the material getting pretty good for me. My opinion is change the concept of the outsoles any shoes for dame. That’s all 🙂

Any outdoor guys, is this durable?

my curry 8 are 10 1/2 and fit good but kinda narrow for me. Toe box hurts after a long day of playing. What size should I get with the dame 8’s

Finally ❤❤

What about outdoor courts ?

Are these low tops?

Dame is my favorite shoe line

I have dame 8 white black edition and they are good

I’m getting mixed opinions of the traction some people say it’s really good but others say it’s terrible so I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

I played on a very dusty court with these shoes and I had no issues. A few wipes from time to time but its tolerable.

Is this a unisex shoe?

Where's Donnie? I haven't seen him going on 2 years now...

HEY Sammy If You SEE This I LOVE YOU BROTHER ❤️ thanks for all the information

I feel like from what ive heard these are outdoor bangers

2:09 still not sure i think sammy needs to test this outdoors if they will last long time on a outdoor court oh well its covid season tho been seeing this on the mall on adidas store the rubber is hard well im confused haha #OutdoorHooper here from the philippines 🇵🇭 i might but another color way of the dame 7 if these fail and the adidas rose son of chi

overall rating?

i want them.

No break in time OK but the toe box is ridiculously long and the fit is narrow and unpleasant for a wide footer. Ordered the Nike Renew Elevate 3 in size 11 and the Dame 8 in size 9.5, size 10 and size 11 and the Renew Elevate 3s being a discount model are still so much more comfortable. They feel simple and firm with great court feeling. The Dame 8s are high off the ground and overly cushioned, to the point it's like you're sinking a bit into them but not in the way that gives you bounce and they are both too long and too narrow unless if maybe your foot is narrow and your toes are fit for a rather sharp toe box. It's too bad because the Dame 8 look super cool at a glance.

Great for outdoors !

Dame 6 great traction

i hope this shoes,feel likes crazy light boost 2016.

Bro, i was so hyped to pick up that teal colorway in February but now im gonna pass. I need traction and this doesn't have it lol

Dame 4s are still a top performer of his signature shoe line.

Molan para exterior,buena amortiguación en el talón.pero poca en el antepie

If the traction is good outdoors this may be my next shoe

Are the dame certified has better traction than dame 8?

Bro.. This review is 🧢🧢🧢. I have these for a month now. These joints are fire. Using outdoor only tho. Traction great. Support great. Materials great. Fit great. Durability great. One of the best hoop shoe in recent years

Gotte be honest this seems cap… i have the same colourway and its been nothing short of amazing, for traction. Ive seen alot of other reviewers love traction as well. Maybe his pair or a few pairs just had bad CC.

Im currently playing at a school sadly and its dusty as f

That can be a lakers color way right there

Yo what happened ti the white dude?

pretty dame 👍

Why doesn’t Sammy Respond to Comment’s ?

Sole amazing, cushioning amazing but I don't think the material is durable for outdoor.

I was gonna cop, but you talked me out of it.

He says it only has two good stops before picking up dust but it was one of the best shoes in my collection. This review is bias and cap

Could I rock this casually too?

Sizing 🦶6:39

Two minutes into this video and it’s a no go for me for these. Most of us who play basketball indoors knows that the court will at some point be dusty so if these are sliding like that, I’m good!

Thanks for clarifying that the Dame 8 is his 8th signature show with adidas 🤦‍♂️

he failed on the first stop then tried so hard to make it slipped on 2nd to 4th slide😂😂😂

I got mine for $65, i will play with then tmr

bro said -0.5 size but i orederd + 1 size i feel dead💀💀💀💀

Dude who plays on a dirty court? Theses are for ROCKIN’ NOT BASKETBALL. So are MOST OF THE SHOES YOU HAVE ON HERE… WE BALL IN SOMETHING YOU DON’T WANT OR SOMETHING OLD💯

Yo

Hola

first

Its not traction.. its tractionèz!

Third

3rd

"dont play in a dusty court" then "it is ok to play with outside", oh ok

Imagine if he was an okc fan😂

I have no luck. After getting new shoes and watching the video I always get disappointed

0:31 четыре секунды и можно закрывать

Review peak attitude

This looks like a shoe made for rose

Worst traction I’ve ever had under me man. I was so hype for these besides colorway huge let down for me.

maybe stop playing on crappy courts?

Just copped me some black ones for $30 at Ross excited to use these tomorrow.
