Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has devoted a considerable portion of his life to basketball, but professional wrestling might be his first love. And there's no wrestler Lillard reveres more than Steve James Anderson, better known as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Lillard's admiration for Austin led him to dress up as the brash-talking, beer-swigging grappler for Halloween a few years ago and has continued with adidas making a "Stone Cold" colorway of his signature sneaker, the Dame 6.
The black/blue/yellow colorway, nods to Austin's predilection for denim and leather vests, features synthetic snakeskin, a callout to Austin's "Texas Rattlesnake" nickname, broken glass, a wink to Austin's entrance music, a broken skull and of course "DAME 3:16" a takeoff of Stone Cold's biblically-specious "AUSTIN 3:16" catch phrase, adorns the midsole.
