A few months ago, Damian Lillard inked a 10-year, $100-plus million extension with Adidas. And as it turns out, he didn’t have to wait very long for his first signature shoe to get off the ground.
In his latest entry for #4BarFriday, Lillard dedicated a rap to his dreams of having his own signature shoe come true, and at the end of the short video, he gave viewers a sneak peak of the DLillard1s.
Caption: Got a special #4BarFriday for y’all. Probably not supposed to do this, but I can’t keep it from y’all any longer. Preview of my first ever signature shoe: The@adidashoops #DLillard1…coming soon! Shout out to everyone that has helped my dreams come true. And let me know what y’all think. #teamadidas #threestripelife
Soon after, Lillard tweeted a picture of his new shoes with some information on its release date.
They come out in 2015, that’s all I can say for now. #staytuned @adidasHoops #DLillard1 #teamadidas #adidasoncourt pic.twitter.com/ZLMMhpKKJR

Keep your eyes peeled for more news. Now that the cat is out the bag, I’m sure there will be more information soon.
