Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard turned to Ric Flair for inspiration for a new colorway of his signature sneaker.

The latest version of Lillard's Adidas Dame 7 features a royal blue colorway reminiscent of one of Flair's iconic robes along with a silhouette of the WWE legend on the tongue. Flair's signature "Wooooo!" catchphrase and "Nature Boy" nickname also appear on the shoe.

Lillard has showcased his love of wrestling through his shoes before, releasing a "Stone Cold" Steve Austin-inspired version of his Dame 6 earlier this year.
