Adidas Dame Certified 3 Review
Pros:
Decent cushioning for the price
Accommodating fit and support
Cons:
Mild heel slippage
Poor traction on dust
Performance of the Adidas Dame Certified 3:
The Adidas Dame Certified 3 is a decent budget option with some pros and some glaring cons.
Traction is solid on clean courts, but reviewers report dust causing issues for them.
Adidas' Bounce foam feels soft and provides decent impact protection. The stack height is a bit high, though.
The materials feel stiff and are not breathable. The rest of the performance gets the job done.
The fit is accommodating and felt good to all reviewers.
Support feels secure, particularly laterally. However, some reviewers reported some mild heel slippage.
The Adidas Dame Certified 3 is a solid option for cushioning for the price.

Do not get the Adidas Dame Certified 3. I can't recommend it. The full-length Bounce is soft but I had issues with the traction and heel slippage.

You'll have no issues on clean courts, but any dust will create a bad experience. The performance becomes poor on dust. I experienced a lot of sliding.

The traction is not that good. It's okay on clean courts but you need to break it in. The main issue is the performance does not bite through dust well.

I don't like the stack height or the court feel, but I like the impact protection and heel compression. I'm indifferent to the cushioning overall. There are pros and cons.

The materials are not fantastic but they get the job done. It's not light but it works. Only the tongue offers breathability. Moisture retention can be an issue.
