When on one of those less than desirable courts, the bite of the grip lessened a bit yet remained reliable.

From what I’ve seen on shoetube, it fits well, traction is great and heel cushion is very comfy with a lower firmer forefoot. Wear a pair of Dames to work on your game, whether that is shooting on your driveway, getting some friends to play at a park or playing a pick-up game at the local rec center. They have a lightweight Bounce midsole for elevated cushioning, a breathable upper that keeps the air flowing and all the signature details that celebrate the greatness of Damian Lillard. The grippy, wave-patterned outsole gives you the traction you need for those ankle-breaking moves or to showcase your footwork on the court. His signature shoes celebrate his innate feel for clutch situations as one of the game's best closers.Investments in Bullion should only be made as part of a diversified investment portfolio and investment advice should be sought before any investment is made.

I find these to be one of the top dogs for outdoors and indoors, as the classic herringbone pattern looks very reliable, and the grooves are just dense enough not to collect dust so much. Switching to foam allows the wearer to feel that foam just a little more since the foam strobel is softer and more flexible than a typical fiberboard so it kind of evens things out. I thought the pro bounce felt close to the Dame 2 cushioning so not really a loss of stability for me. Not much else to say about the Plain Dame 5 but stay tuned for my Spawn 3, Pg3 and Why Not 2 reviews (all easy reviews and excellent options to start 2019).
