Check out Damian Lillard's second signature sneaker from Adidas
Damian Lillard's second signature sneaker from adidas was unveiled on Monday with official images of the DLillard 2. Here are some of the details of what went into the design, from the official release:
The D Lillard 2 is priced at $105, and launches Jan. 22 in “Rip City” and February 5 in “Road” with a limited release of “Rip City” on Dec. 26. Check out the photos below and let us know whether or not you plan on picking up a pair.
“Signature details – I wanted it to have more hints of my background,” Damian explained. “I still wanted it to be a stylish shoe, to be worn off the court again. Being in Portland makes it easy to get my ideas across, meet with designers and create something special for fans.”
The D Lillard 2 combines details inspired by Oakland with bold textures and personal callouts as a nod to Damian’s neighborhood roots, off-court style and ability to silence doubt. The second signature features Oak Print hits – inspired by the iconic tree logo featured on the “Welcome to Oakland” sign and Damian’s hometown tattoos – at the heel counter, midsole and eyelets, while details engraved in the outsole’s traction pattern include:
Dame – Damian’s nickname on the base of the toe cap Oakland – “Oak” is displayed on the right shoe with “Land” on the left Brookfield – The neighborhood he grew up in featured at the center of the outsole Suga Gee –Gina Johnson, Damian’s mother, raised him to become a man by challenging him to stay the course with a foundation built on family and hard work; her nickname is now featured on the silhouette’s heel
