Adidas Dame 7 Review
Pros:
Balanced cushioning
Solid traction indoors and outdoors
Cons:
Not the most premium materials
Performance of the Adidas Dame 7:
The traction on the Dame 7 performs well - significantly better than the 6. Good news if you play outdoors a lot: the outsole is made of very durable rubber and performs well on the blacktop.
The Lightstrike foam cushion setup is also an upgrade over the 6 and is a good balance of impact protection, court feel, and responsiveness.
The materials are of decent quality, well ventilated, and get the job done performance-wise.
The support offers good lateral stability and containment but the low cut doesn't provide any additional ankle support.
Overall, the Dame 7 is a great all-around performer - especially for the price!

For $110 the Dame 7 is definitely a recommended pickup. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

The adidas Dame 7 is a pretty good shoe for most guards. The traction started off inconsistent, but got a lot better over time. The cushion was good and had impact protection. It also has nice bounce but it bottoms out pretty quickly. The support was pretty good and it kept your foot in place. The materials weren’t the best but it still wasn’t bad. The durability was amazing, and this shoe is great for outdoors and it will hold up very well. Overall it is nice but it takes some time to break in.

Great shoe the traction is top tier on clean courts and outdoor courts, materials aren’t like god tier but they get the job done. In the cushion there is a cheap adidas insole, a lot of adidas shoes do it with a lot of shoes, but below it we have a full length lightstrike with crazy compression, some said it was to much for them but I think it feels nice on foot. Lacing system is good it’s easy, you just tie and your ready to go, the shoe is 13 ounces. This shoe is great get it for only 110$

It was a good shoe, heel slippage a minor problem but It was easy to play through. The traction has a sort of break in period where it doesn't squeak, and barely bites at all until at least 3 days of play, but after that it's good. For this colorway the leather on the outside right and left sides of each shoe has a weird crease look after a lot of play. Overall good shoe, I recommend the Dame 7, not so much the EXT PLY version, and for sure not so much the "damenosis" colorway with the leather.

I bought this shoe for 50$ at footlocker and this shoe was awful. after I broke the shoe in the traction never had a good bite even on clean courts. the cushion had little compression. and I had a major heel slippage issue even with the achilles pillows in the heel. when I was breaking the shoe in my feet hurt like crazy. I also had an issue with the insole because the insole would not stick to the bottom of the shoe making it very uncomftorable. overall I would not recommend this shoe.

The best fit on any basketball shoe I ever had. The traction is great and it lasts even playing mostly on outdoors, but the lightstrike cushion bottom-ed out after a while, so the shoe is still really good but I feel like the cushion is kind of gone. Support is really good, the materials are normal, nothing amazing but they are nice. Maybe they could use some more breathability. Overall, this is a really good shoe and I really like the way my colorway looked!

The traction on the Dame 7 was actually really nice. I didn't have any problems even on a mildly dusty court. You'll have to wipe if you play on really dusty courts though.

Playing on an outdoor court, the Dame 7 had a really good bite and I didn't have any slipping issues. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try them on an indoor court.

The Lightstrike cushioning in this shoe is really good. This setup has a lot of impact protection in the heel with responsiveness and court feel in the forefoot. I really like the overall balance.

Full-length Lightstrike cushioning is insane! Impact protection is really nice in the heel, but not as much in the forefoot. Court feel is good in the forefoot.

The mesh upper material isn't the most premium, but it's a huge upgrade over the Dame 6. They get the job done performance-wise and are a step in the right direction.
