September turned out to be a great month for all the sneakerheads as they witnessed the release of new signature shoes from two of the biggest superstars in the NBA. First, it was the new Milwaukee Bucks signing, Damian Lillard, who launched his latest signature shoes, ?DAME 8 EXTPLY? at the beginning of the month. Now, 4-time NBA Champion LeBron James has launched the 21st edition of his signature basketball shoe line, ?LeBron 21?, taking the sneaker world by storm.

With Dame D.O.L.L.A and King James launching new signature shoes this month, fans are wondering which superstar?s shoes are better. Here is all you need to know about the new LeBron 21 and Dame 8 EXTPLY ?Most Criticized?.

LeBron 21 Vs. Dame 8 EXTPLY ?Most Criticized?

The new Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard signed with Adidas in 2014 and has successfully released 8 versions of his signature shoes with the 3-stripe brand in the past 9 years. Adidas launched the 9th edition of Lillard?s signature shoes on September 1, not going with the obvious Dame 9 name and bringing a new twist to the Dame 8 shoes with ?Dame 8 EXTPLY?. Dame?s latest shoes were released in multiple attractive colorways, with the ?Dame 8 EXTPLY Tennis? being the first colorway to be launched on September 1. The most awaited colorway of the 7-time All-Star?s new shoes, ?Dame 8 EXTPLY Most Criticized? has not been released yet. The Black and White color combination of the shoes is set to hit the shelves on October 1. Dame 8 EXTPLY ?Most Criticized? will retail for $130.

Dame?s new signature shoes will have to compete with Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James’ latest LeBron 21 shoes. King James partnered with Nike in 2003 and has one of the most successful sneaker lines in the world. Already finding success with his previous 20 signature shoes, the 19-time All-Star released the LeBron 21 ?Akoya? on September 28. LeBron?s latest shoes are slightly pricier than the Dame 8 EXTPLY, retailing for $200. With both signature shoes coming from different brands, the features on the shoes are completely different.

Which shoes are better?

The Dame 8 EXTPLY uses the Adidas Bounce Pro midsole which is one of the most premium cushioning setups by the three-stripe brand. The shoe also comes with a midfoot strap for a better fit and a carefully designed traction pattern for great grip on all surfaces. The knit upper helps the shoe with its flexibility and durability. Retailing at $130, Dame?s latest shoes are a great creation by Adidas.

The LeBron 21 ?Akoya? is inspired by LeBron?s 8-year-old daughter, Zhuri. The clean Light Bone colorway of the shoes combines well with subtle hints of Campfire orange and Dark Russet. The new low-cut design goes well with the Nike Zoom Air cushioning and keeps the player low to the ground. Even though the 4-time MVP?s shoes are priced considerably higher than Dame?s shoes, they are worth every penny.

With both signature shoes installed with the best features that Nike and Adidas have to offer, it comes down to which superstar the fans prefer more. Which shoes would you add to your closet?
