Before Giannis Antetokounmpo and well after Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bucks fans were thrilled by the exploits of Sam Cassell, Ray Allen and Glenn “Big Dog” Robinson in the early 2000s, with the key being a conference final loss in 2001 against Allen Iverson's Sixers.
More than twenty years after this beautiful epic, Damian Lillard decided that he would wear this legacy on his feet this season with this new version of the Lady 9 taking up the historical colors of the Bucks of the time, with slightly more pronounced colors.

To accompany the white base of the upper, the All-Star point guard's 9th signature shoe is dressed in a dark green mesh upper, while the collar and tongue stand out in dark purple. The three “claws” present on the upper appear in black and purple.
Enough to bring back good memories for the residents of the Fiserv Forum who hope to see Damian Lillard in top form this season, and experience emotions as rich as in 2001 or in 2021, when Giannis Antetokounmpo's Bucks won the NBA title.
