This channel has single handedly changed my perception on "sneaker UA-cam". I thought it was all hype and speculation, but thanks to you I discovered it could be about passion, nostalgia and objective appreciation for quality and craft. I actually bought a shoe you guys reviewed, because of how genuine your approach is. So massive big ups! Love from Brussels, Belgium!
Hey Guys! You know what time it is. DAME TIME! Let us know your thoughts on the adidas Dame 8 down below. Bonus points for any other random wildlife facts you can somehow weave into your comment below. Have a good one!
I purchased the Game Day insole and would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a purchase. For me, they did not raise my foot high enough to cause any discomfort from the upper or unwanted snugness.
Ah, been waiting for these! Love seeing what they do with the new Dame and the 7 was such a half-step. Did you know an elephant can smell water from 12 miles away? 😂
Wide Foot Hooper checking in: Having played in the Dame 5 and 7 EXT Play, I am excited for the return to bounce (or Bounce Pro in this case). There was a noticeable difference (read: bad) in cushioning response when they went to Lightstrike. Can't wait to see the performance review on these!
@weartesters can you consider creating a playlist/hashtag for wide-foot friendly shoes? There is nothing harder than finding hoop shoes that work for us boat-footed individuals and having leaned on your reviews for the past 5 years, your take on fit is always on point and helps us pick the proper shoe without the hassle.
@@akimyo The way i go about it is that i just read/watch the reviews of the most recommended shoes and usually you are getting enough Info on the fit to make a good judgement. If i read it fits narrow i immediatly pull it off my list. If they say its wide footer friendly it is added to the list. Then i usually have like 4ish options, from that list i usually get me the most bang/buck option. My rotation is: Reebok Clyde Hardwood (Inner strap cuts into foot a little bit, works for me, could be a problem though), Puma Clyde Allpro (I think i took half a size too big so front fit is a little weird, side fit is good though), Adidas T-Mac Millenium (very wide shoe with weird fit in the toebox) and i still rock a Adidas Dame 2 (Top 3 Basketball shoe all-time for me, i love it soo much). I also love my Adidas Dame 5 (super comfy, you feel like stepping into a cloud). Big shout out to @weartesters and especially nightwing. I never buy performance shoes without checking his reviews first. If there is something weird going on with a shoe, even if its just a minor thing, you will know about it. I have never been surprised by any shoe i bought, because i knew exactly what i was getting into, literallly. If i could trust everybody in my life like i trust nightwings judgement on shoes, my life would be perfect.
That outsole looks super aggressive and awesome!! Love the sculpting on the inside…or at least what you can see. Cant believe he’s on his 8th shoe…that’s awesome!!!
wow, to have the DAME DOLLA showing love to your hands-on review is.. Next Level! this is actually really good and I am looking forward to try it as my last Basketball shoe now destroyed.
These shoes look great and look better than, the Zions imo. They got rid of lightstrike! I really didn't like lightstrike because, it didn't absorb as much shock and left my legs a little sore. After awhile, lightstrike would squeak and I got annoyed and put my Dame 6 and 7 into retirement. Thank you Dame and Addias for bringing back Bounce cushion!!!!
The really remind me of the Jordan Zion 1s. The midsole, outsole, even the textile uppers look really similar to those shoes. Plus those Zion 1s have the most bounce I've felt, at least compared to the shoes I've purchased this year.
Definitely one of my favorite looking Dame shoes. I really like the color blocking. I already have a ton of ideas in my head about colorways on this shoe. Would love if they switched around the materials and stuff like the Dame 6. Add some suede and stuff
Mrs. Nightwing is one hella sneakerhead herself. I didn't even notice it looked like the Zion 1s til she mentioned it too. Kudos to both of you guys! Looking forward for the next shoe review :)
@@cmtz13 aww ok didn’t realize in the last couple months or so it was still that bad in other places. We’ve been able to play in gyms since earlier in the year.
@@Drew.Whitcomb def understand but I went to Venice in May. They had rims on the hoops . Just got back from LA Sunday. Went out and about and watched a clippers game. JS I haven’t seen a performance Vid in so long I thought he might have gotten injured. Other Cali UA-camrs have gotten a BUNCH of runs in. Some of those runs are on random small courts or they traveled.
as soon as i saw them shoes,they reminded me of the zion ....after watching ur review, i must say that not only that but.also the curve on the heel reminded me of the aj13 and the sole of the aj11...although these look comfortable,by far, in my opinion, the dame4 is still my favourite looking dame shoe. hope to see a performance review on these. thanks for all ur hard work guys
I know what you mean about the playing ball during the Covid days. We have been booted from my local court by the cops. It did make you feel like you were doing something wrong. These look really good. Gt cut drop in midsole.
Living in PDX I'm a Dame fan but never of his shoes. I hope this one is different. I'll have to venture over to the Adidas ES to try a pair of these on...
I got the Dame 6 late in its release cycle which coincided with the Dame 7 drop. From a look perspective I liked the Dame 7 more and was ready to like it more than the Dame 6. After using them both for the better part of the pandemic the 7 felt underwhelming for me while the Dame 6 became a favorite. Hoping for better things from the Dame 8.
By far my favorite shoe tuber. Come on Chris. We all know ninja turtles is the best. But I love power rangers too. I remember going to see the first power rangers movie.
This shoe look cool and more slim (light?) than many of Adidas shoes. I wonder how Bounce Pro feels like, because I still got my Dame 5 and they are great outdoors.
Salute for showing love to the 8 and Move insoles!
hey dame, much love from PH! 🇵🇭
Wassup dame u the goat 🐐🐐
Wassup dame u the best brooo 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
work on your jump shots they're lacking
Can I get one of these, Sir?

I have always appreciated how Dame's signature models incorporate each shoes theme and how strongly it is a part of who he is.
I purchased the Game Day insole and would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a purchase. For me, they did not raise my foot high enough to cause any discomfort from the upper or unwanted snugness.
You have no idea how long I’ve been waiting for this video thank you guys so much 🔥🔥🔥
How long have you been waiting?
Lol
@@gabrielveloro since the dame 7 my guy every time I see a pair of 7s I’m like dam when the 8s coming and I need a video as soon as they do 😅

Dame dropped 71 in these! ⌚️
Just subscribed ! The first video I watched was the shoe review on the DAME 8. Hopefully to get these shoes for my birthday
The moment I saw these, I recognized the similarities with the Jordan Zion 1. I personally think that the Zions look better
It’s so obvious, adi should be ashamed of.
@@nathanchan6409 it’s been leaked with this exact same model since early this year so I think jordan might’ve copied adidas
@@nathanchan6409 shoes are on a 2-3 year timeline. No one at adidas saw the Zions before this guy was finalized.
@@andrewguerra2532 the zion is inspired by his haircut
wow, to have the DAME DOLLA showing love to your hands-on review is.. Next Level! this is actually really good and I am looking forward to try it as my last Basketball shoe now destroyed.
PLEASE shoot a performance review on these!

I can't be the only one who wants those 30 minute Chris talks
Dame wanted his own adidas concord 11's 😭
Definitely one of my favorite looking Dame shoes. I really like the color blocking. I already have a ton of ideas in my head about colorways on this shoe. Would love if they switched around the materials and stuff like the Dame 6. Add some suede and stuff
Nightwing, got me two pairs of the Move insoles based off your suggestions and they are awesome. Thinking of getting the Pro version next!
Is this good for outdoor cement courts? Are these better than dame certified for outdoors?
I actually like the way they look. Can pull these off casually which I like
Thank you guys, Very nice explaining of the shoes and very funny episode.
All the best, from Italy!
This is the best sneaker channel!
i think they got inspired by concorde 11 minis the patent leather outsole wise your thoughts
Mrs. Nightwing is one hella sneakerhead herself. I didn't even notice it looked like the Zion 1s til she mentioned it too. Kudos to both of you guys! Looking forward for the next shoe review :)
Saw the thumbnail and thought the exact same thing.
Big fan of Dame's signature line!
Dame time!
Bounce is back! Might be my favorite Adidas cushion
you guys need to stay on topic😭, but love ur channel, ever since i started watching i know a lot more
LMFAO @ The private runs during lock down. Walking fast as f back to your whip hoping you don't get caught by the fuzz. 😂
My latest shoe with a drop-in midsole would be the Nike GT Cut. Still my go-to shoe for playing ball, always in my gym bag.
Reminds me of Dame 2s.. hopefully they play like those.. best basketball shoes I’ve ever played in
Can you hoop on these outdoors? Hows the cushion?
I’d love to see an uncut video 😂 30 minutes about Chris talking the way I would about things
Zion comment is so accurate, the aesthetics feel so similar (i like the dame's a little more though)
I really hope we get a performance review on these, I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on the Bounce Pro cushion
He never does performance reviews anymore. Is he injured?
@@PolowReaves idk about all that. Probably just because of the pandemic still, can’t play indoors every where
@@cmtz13 aww ok didn’t realize in the last couple months or so it was still that bad in other places. We’ve been able to play in gyms since earlier in the year.
@@PolowReaves California has been very strict. He talked about it in the video.
@@Drew.Whitcomb def understand but I went to Venice in May. They had rims on the hoops . Just got back from LA Sunday. Went out and about and watched a clippers game.

Some of those runs are on random small courts or they traveled.
Nightwing could you do the performance test or talk on your insta about the Trae young 1
Really like this colorway. Can't wait to pick it up.
Dame’s shoes 👟 are one of the most comfiest ball shoes and also for casual wear .
These remind me of the crazy light boost 16
I still have Adidas Dame2 red and thay are still like new! 🔥🔥
These, especially this CW looks 🔥🔥🔥. Talking of the colour blocking, they both (Zion and Dame) owe it to the XI Concord 🤷🏻♂️ no?
1 view 17 seconds this is the fastest i been Dame Time ⏰
Is it just me or the Dame 8 looks a lot like Zion 1?
Edit : Mrs. Wing mentioned it in the video. Commented off-the-bat after seeing the thumbbail. Lol
I was thinking the same thing
@@ronaldclarke8198 yes, that's the first thing I remembered upon seeing the thumbnail. Lol

Hey I was what you'd recommend for just casual wear like a few different kinds?
Got the 5, People's Champ colorway, and they're bulky and kinda heavy. These look way lighter and more confortable! Great review!!!
Chris did’t have to flex on us like that at 7:25 😂🙏🏽
Step by step on to DAME 8 straight heavyweight champ with it! Can't wait! 🔥🔥🔥🔥👌🏾
Zion's?
Why you dont like the Damenosis though?
Another GREAT VID!!! These put me in the mind of ZION'S shoes maybe because of the color way and the bolts
How does it feel wearing it? Is it as soft like the puma all clyde pro and like the zion or something else?
I know what you mean about the playing ball during the Covid days. We have been booted from my local court by the cops. It did make you feel like you were doing something wrong. These look really good. Gt cut drop in midsole.
Only new shoe that I know with a drop in midsole isn’t even a hoop shoe. It’s the Nike Bruin react SB. Super nice shoe too
Wasn’t wavebone in the Dame 1’s?
Patent 1 bred drops 30 December on SNKRS 🇬🇧
Remind me of the aj 11
I wear 10.5 so I should a cop a size 10 ?
Living in PDX I'm a Dame fan but never of his shoes. I hope this one is different. I'll have to venture over to the Adidas ES to try a pair of these on...
Is it an icy sole for this color way?
Hey man can you do the Jordan 1 craft I want to know what you think about them before I buy
That pull tab looks like what’s in the Jordan ma2
These are 🔥 cant wait for the other colorways
What power rangers set did you flash in the video?!
The silhouette reminds me a lot of the Jordan 10 black/white color way, especially with the aggressive sole.
Man these Dame 8's are fire! best looking of the Dame lines by far!
dame 4s are on par with these
That back portion of the midsole ?!?
I like the Don Issue 3 Bel-Air Prep color ways. I'm waiting for them to go on sale before I buy them. They're still retail here. The dame is cool too.
my curry 8 are 10 1/2 and fit good but kinda narrow for me. Toe box hurts after a long day of playing. What size should I get with the dame 8’s
Really thought when I first saw the shoe that it was an updated zion1
With insoles do you have to go up a size? Or half a size up ?
I cant think off the top of my head if there's been any recent hoop shoes with a drop in, but the zoom pulse, the "nurse" shoe from Nike has a drop in
Well most insoles are just lightly spot glued so you can remove them easily. I always salvage the insoles from used shoes in hopes they can be reused.
Great review on dame time kicks on fire 🔥 God bless you and your family and friends
The nike zoom gt cur had drop in soles fyi
Lol. I had the same thought when you pulled the insole out as to why Dame co-founded that insole company. 😂
insoles - adidas used to make awesome ones back in the TS days... the OG insole of the rose 1.5 (not 1.0, those suck) was heavenly
does it still have plate under strobel
Soon as a I saw the thumbnail for this video, I legit thought this was a Zion 1 review lol wow
I got the Dame 6 late in its release cycle which coincided with the Dame 7 drop. From a look perspective I liked the Dame 7 more and was ready to like it more than the Dame 6. After using them both for the better part of the pandemic the 7 felt underwhelming for me while the Dame 6 became a favorite.
Hoping for better things from the Dame 8.
Thought these were the Zion’s before reading the title 🤔
If im using 9us adidas size what to get with dame 8?
Outsole reminding me of Jordan 11s
Hold up-I thought the 7 fit long as well. I’m pretty sure Chris said he went down a half size for the 7.
Release date ?
These look so dope, they remind me of the adidas crazylight boost 2016
should try them on instore first. i feel dame 7 quite roomy at the toe box.
so if im an 11 your saying go 10.5?
Am I the only one that thinks the 3 stripes part and the stitching along that part looks like the WoW 7
These also remind me a little of the way of wade 7 with the colorblocking
Do this run long?
That box looks fire
By far my favorite shoe tuber. Come on Chris. We all know ninja turtles is the best. But I love power rangers too. I remember going to see the first power rangers movie.
You should see his TMNT collection.
Can you do a review on the AJ1 low Solefly Carnivore?
We took and L at checkout.
This shoe look cool and more slim (light?) than many of Adidas shoes. I wonder how Bounce Pro feels like, because I still got my Dame 5 and they are great outdoors.
Haven’t been interested in a Dame since the 4s. Got the 5s and they were good, but afterwards never caught my attention.
These are pretty fresh wish they had a red and black pair drop first tho
Its kinda look like zion shoes?
