Three-point excellence met the figure-four leglock today, as “Nature Boy” Ric Flair took to Twitter to show off his version of Damian Lillard’s shoe.

The five-time, five-time, five-time NBA All-star is a long-time Adidas endorser, while Flair joined forces with the company last year. Earlier this summer, the stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ and dealin’ son of a gun made Lillard’s “Oooohhh What a Rushmore” list of greatest wrestlers ever.

Business is about to pick up, because those...are...AWWWWEEEEEEESOME.
Update: (In January, Adidas also released a Stone Cold Steve Austin version of the Dame 6. It looks fit to stomp mudholes with, but to be the man you’ve got to beat the man, and Austin’s version clearly don’t.)
Are these new Flair kicks the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be? Let us know below.
