Editor’s Notes: Sneaker customizer @mammothnamedjim took to Instagram to share his latest creation, which is a perfectly executed Black Panther-themed pair of adidas DAME 4s.

While they’ve obviously just been custom painted and don’t feature any of Wakanda’s highly advanced Vibranium technology, it’s still fun to imagine Damian Lillard rocking these on court and having an unfair advantage over his opponents.

These customs are one-of-a-kind, as @mammothnamedjim states in his bio, so if you were hoping to snag them you’ll be disappointed.

Nevertheless, flip through the images above and let us know what you think of this custom job. Would you rock these?
