Design a Pair of Adidas for Lillard to Wear In a Game

[Haakzilla]

...this is pretty cool. If you participate, then you should share your designs below.

Following his first NBA All-Star Weekend, during which he won the Skills Challenge, Portland Trail Blazers rookie Damian Lillard is giving you the opportunity to design a pair of shoes for him to wear in an upcoming game.

The silhouette of choice is the new adidas Rose 3.5, which landed on the brand's miadidas customization platform earlier this month. Below are two simple steps you must follow to enter Lillard's design contest.

Step 1) Log on to miadidas. Design the Rose 3.5 in a colorway you want Damian to wear.

Step 2) When done with your design, click “Share” and tweet your design to Damian (@Dame_Lillard) and @adidasHoops. Include the tag #LillardKicks.

On Friday, Lillard will announce two winners and wear their Rose 3.5 designs in upcoming games. Good luck!

Remember LA's crazy-ass shoes that were designed by a grade schooler (or was it a whole classroom of them) a few years ago?

...here is my first attempt:

I'd love to do this, but I'm afraid security will take me away if I am on Nike's VPN.

cool, thanks. Didn't know how to do the picture alone.

...the easiest way is to click on 'Save & Share' and then click 'Summary' -- that picture will allow you to right click for the image url.

Wasn't that designed by patients at Doernbecher?

Maybe so; all I remember is that it was a child or children.

 

[Rhal]

Nothing to special but I like it

when you select the share thing, and it pulls up the screen with the tweet inserted, type in in the beginning @dame_lillard @adidasHoops and #lillardkicks and it should work.

...some advice from Lillard himself, good luck everyone!

...with so many entries (and I've heard there have been quite a few) how can you improve the chances of your design being one of the two selected by Damian? For that answer, we turn to the man making the final decision.

"Not make it too wild," said Lillard. "There's probably a lot of the shoes that look exactly the same. I just have to pick the one that I think fits the best. There's certain patterns that I like. We're going to see which ones people have to offer."

No surprise that Lillard, a somewhat reserved young man, wouldn't be too keen on the more "wild" options. But there are also factors outside of Damian's control, primarily Portland's colors being red, black and white, that will also weigh into his decision.

"It it's a shoe with a lot of black in it with a little bit of red, but the bottom piece is white? I'm not going to wear that because I'd wear those with the dark uniform," explained Lillard. "I'm not going to have a big white stripe (paired with road black uniform). It'll depend on the color of the shoe, what uniform I wear with it. It'll have to match up with either the home or away uniform. But I'm not making any suggestions. I'm going to look at all of them and pick two that I like!"

It might not have been a suggestion, but Damian did say he likes the application of the "splatter" pattern, which is available both on the midsole and on the three stripes on the heel. He also said that he'd consider Weber State colorway submissions, but that he might not be able to wear such colors in a game.

But the best advice is probably just to have fun and put together a custom pair that you'd like to wear. After all, says Lillard, that's really the point of the contest.

"It's a lot of fun doing it and giving people a chance to make something that I'm actually going to wear. That's even fun for me. If I'm going to create a shoe it's fun to be able to put in your own style, mix and match what you want and actually be able to wear the shoe."
