Adidas has released the shoes Trailblazers’ guard Damian Lillard will be wearing in New York
When Damian Lillard was initially left off the roster for the 2015 NBA All-Star Game, many people, Lillard included, were outraged by the decision and with good reason after the dynamic season that he’s put together. With Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers needing surgery on his elbow, a spot opened up on the Western Conference roster, and Lillard was able to get the spot he deserves on Sunday.

With the game being played on a national stage in New York City, it’s a time for the league, sponsors and players alike to market their brand.
After having his first shoe, the D Lillard 1, drop last month, he has another shoe to add to his growing shoe line thanks to his addition to the Western Conference All-Star roster.
All-Star Speed.

The shoes look great as the white and black with the gold lettering stand out as a pair of shoes worthy for an All-Star Game in New York City.
Lillard now has a growing brand he will be able to market as he continues to evolve as one of the league’s superstars.
The shoes will be released Friday, just in time for shoe aficionados to snatch them up. If he can have a big performance in the All-Star Game, his shoes will be on display even more.
