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 cushioning of the Dame 9 for a more standard Bounce cushion. It was released in two colorways (“Cloud White” and “Collegiate Green”), which both offer a clean and sophisticated style. At a retail price of $85, the Certified 3 is another excellent option from Adidas in the budget-friendly shoe market.
