“Cooler Than Being Like Mike”: WWE Legend Ric Flair Reveals His Collaboration with Damian Lillard

Shoe-Deals and endorsements are a part and parcel of being an NBA Player. However, these added perks come with being one of the best point guards in the NBA.

It’s none other than Damian Lillard who has landed himself a series of endorsement deals and has his own shoe line with Adidas. Lillard has shown keen interest in wrestling over the years, which became evident when he released Stone Cold Steve Austin’s Dame 6’s earlier this year.

Now, Lillard’s Dame 7 ‘Ric Flair’ will feature aesthetics belonging to another legendary wrestler, Ric Flair, who even took to Twitter to show off the vibrant pair.

Ric Flair went on social media to announce his latest collaboration with Adidas. These shoes are an interesting and vibrant outlook on NBA All-Star Damian Lillard’s shoes. The professional wrestler signed with the sports-wear giant last year and has come up with a beautiful pair that showcases his personality.
