Nice legs.

Anyone have the 2's? How do these fit (size) compared to Nike hoop shoes? I wear an 11 in Nike's.

Like I said in my post, I kept the same size 12 as my Nike shoes. Fits great.

...I've read that some guys that intend to strictly use the 2's for playing ball in have gone down a 1/2 size for a snugger fit. Probably depends on your personal preferences though. For the most part they are true to size and have more room in the toe box area than the narrow 1's did.

Thanks!

I got a pair of the grey/white/black Lillard 2's a couple days ago and played hoops in them last night. Very very comfortable! I also got a pair of the new 2016 Nike Zoom Hyperrev. Gonna play in those tonight. Based on walking around the house, the Lillard's are much more comfortable.

I heard the entire McDonald's All-American team will be wearing the Lillard 2's.

Hit Footlocker last weekend. Was so surprised how hard Adidas is pumping Dame, even in podunk Indianapolis.

Well, Rose fell off and he used to be their poster boy.

Who else do they have at this point?

John Wall seems to be about it, and I don't think he seems to be as popular as Lillard is.

Wall's contract expired.

They have Harden.

Oh, well nobody outside of Houston and maybe China likes Harden.

They gave 200 mil to Harden last summer.

oops. Wiggins has yet to blow up/Rubio is mostly trash. So not all that shocking I guess. Still kinda surreal to see Dame's face plastered everywhere, that too nowhere close to POR or Oakland.

Played hoops last night in the new Nike 2016 Zoom HyperRev's & the Lillard 2's are much more comfortable.

Was listening to the Woj podcast this morning. The shoe dude on there said Dame's shoes are the best selling signature in the Adidas lineup. He mentioned how Dame's engaging nature and commitment to launches even during the season have put him on top over guys like Wall who are in larger markets.

Definitely a selling point for free agents. If you try a bit, you can get just as many marketing opportunities in POR as you would anywhere else. That disparity between market size is becoming even less pronounced.

New Colorway: Fool's Gold

Damian Lillard takes some inspiration form the history of his home state for this new “Fool’s Gold” edition of the adidas D Lillard 2. Dame pays tribute to those who stayed and settled in California after the gold rush in 1849, with the shoe crafted in a bold color blockof metallic gold and black completed with an icy green outsole and matching laces. The adidasD Lillard 2“Fool’s Gold” will fittingly release on April 1st (April Fool’s Day) at select adidasBasketball retailers.

Again, I'm not a shoe guy, but I love those color patterns!

Did someone say that you don't get a discount on Lillard's shoes at the adidas employee store?

Yes/No
These new releases are not in the employee store. maybe in about 3 months or so. But they usually have 2 or 3 different style in there and they are marked down.

Passes are harder to come by these days.

Hmmm, so probably don't have the RYB (or "Rainbow") version yet? I just started shooting hoops for the first time in YEARS, and thinking I should get some shoes. Maybe I'll swing by and see if anything else catches my eye.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see these posted:
