Damian Lillard has arguably had the best signature basketball shoe for the three stripes this year according to me. With a lot of the colorways telling a story for Dame, the upcoming adidas D Lillard 2 ‘Fools Gold’ looks to do the same. Reigning from the Bay Area, the California gold rush paves the way as the influence behind this new colorway which makes its debut this April 1st, April Fools Day, how fitting. Check out the unveiling and official pictures below then let us know down in the comments your thoughts, will they be a DEF Cop or DEF Not.
Representing the Bay Area and Damian Lillard’s unrelenting drive, adidas debuts the “Fool’s Gold” edition of the D Lillard 2. In the aftermath of the California gold rush where many tried to get rich quick, it was those who stayed behind that built up the cities with their grit and persistence.
To pay homage, the silhouette is designed with a gold foil upper and paired with matching hits on the tongue, laces and midsole splatter. Night gray accents are treated with a matte finish while an iced green outsole, laces and Dame branding cap off the California tribute.
“Fool’s Gold” ($105) launches April 1 at retailers and adidas.com?.
