NBA All Star Damian Lillard Debuts New Pride Sneakers On Court
https://www.out.com/sports/2020/8/06/nba-all-star-damian-lillard-wears-pride-sneakers-courtFive-time NBA All Star Damian Lillard wore rainbow-colored shoes during a recent game against the Boston Celtics to show his allyship with the LGBTQ+ community. The show of support comes in a wave of moves across the league where players have given their platform to various social justice messages.
The rainbow-colored sneakers are an official Pride style from Lillard’s Dame 6 line of shoes from Adidas. The styles are currently available for $180 on the Adidas site. The athlete isn't the only one to have a Pride style though: Dwyane Wade has a similar rainbow-hued shoe in support of his daughter Zaya Wade. Unlike the Dame 6 rainbow shoe, Wade’s WOW Infinity Pride shoe is only available in China.
The Portland fan-favorite Lillard, known for his 3-point shooting and ability to finish strong, is one of several players wearing league-approved social justice messages on their jerseys.
