Lillard's new Adidas shoes!

[Nhawz]

It makes sense, leopards are really fast and don't play defense.

0-1 in those new shoes of his...

This is the way basketball shoes seem to be going.. They all have some funky pattern or color scheme.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's because Adidas designed it.

Basketball shoes aren't made for adults anymore. That's why they have all those stupid colors. These kids (and I ref 250+ games per year) are all wearing bright ass funny looking kicks that don't even match their uniforms.

Those shoes are FUGLY!

Pretty much this. I was at the Nike employee store a couple of weeks ago. Wow. I couldn't find but 3 pairs of shoes that I'd actually want to wear around town due to the whack hipster thick (Skater type, with air) sole styling, the huge high top 80's shoe, or the rainbow of bright colors.

If we adults want to have decent shoes we need to go online to the Nike or adidas website and create our own colorways via their customization program. Do you know how hard it is to find all black shoes that actually work for refereeing?

When did we go from crimson to red?

about the time BOFA happened.

His white ones with a little bit of black and red he wore in the Boston game are sick!

I'm not a sneakerhead at all, but the Weber State ones are easily my fave. I LOVE that color.

BOFA?

BOFA?

BOFA DEEZ NUTS IN YOUR MOUF

(sorry, I saw it on Twitter earlier, I'm easily impressionable).

 

[Mote]

LMAO... Guess I'm gonna have to brush up on my ebonics trash talk.

Are Lillard's shoes the first addidas to not have three stripes on the side? If so, could this be analogous to Nike/Jordan?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

They drop tomorrow.

Get the black history month editions, they may be good to resell. None in southern California

Anyone getting a pair today?

No because I make my living on my three point shot.

The First Jordans had a swoosh:

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

might get a pair tomorrow. we'll see. don't really need hoops shoes though. but I like them.

That's not what I meant. Are there any other adidas that don't have three stripes on the side? If not, it might be like later Jordans, which didn't have the swoosh on the side.
I'm not a sneakerhead so I don't know if adidas has left their stripes off of shoes before, but I can't recall ever seeing any. I also might be wrong in assuming Jordans are the only Nikes not to feature the swoosh on the side.

 

[santeesioux]

I don't really play basketball anymore, but I might pick up a pair when they go on sale.

Im trying to get hooked up with an Adidas pass to get them for the employee store.

Dude getting into the store is easy, I can let you know how. I have a classmate and couple weeks ago all you had to do was bring in a pair old shoes.

But his shoes may be one of the various items that aren't 50% off

 

[THE HCP]

His shoes are FULL price at the Adidas employee store
