Damian Lillard finished his sixth season with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2017-18, and it brought the fourth iteration of his shoe, the Dame 4. The Blazers star rocked several different variations of the shoe throughout the year, from a roller-skating inspired edition to a collaboration with fashion brand BAPE that he wore during the NBA All-Star Game. But it wasn’t only Lillard wearing the shoe, as 21 players put on the Dame 4 at one point during the season, according to NBA on ESPN.
One dedicated wearer of the Dame 4 is possible Rookie of the Year Donovan Mitchell. The Utah guard often had fun with customizing his Dame 4’s:
