Quick, how many signature sneakers does Damian Lillard have? How many does Giannis have? I’m almost certain you didn’t know the answer right away for either athlete. Dame is on sneaker 8 and Giannis is on sneaker 5.
Quick data checks for 3rd party sales on eBay and StockX are difficult to organize. For brevity I chose data on limited release Dame 8 sneakers, a broad data search of the keywords adidas +Dame+Men’s Sneakers and I also chose general release white and black Dame 8 data. The time is a 12 month span:

Limited sneakers always perform better than expected. The reality of the market for Dame’s sneakers lies in the more general breakdown of 3rd party sales.

Over the course of the year, the Dame 8 is a subpar product often marked down or moved back into the few adidas physical stores. The $120 dollar price point for the final pair release is marked down on the adidas site. The latest model in Dame’s signature line is the Dame 8 EXTPLY.
