Adidas recently announced that the D Lillard 2 will be dropping this month. Damian Lillard’s second signature shoe is inspired by his youth in Oakland, Calif. Now that Lillard plays for the Portland Trail Blazers, he can work closely with Portland-based Adidas.

“Dame is pushing the game to another level each time he steps out on the court,” said Brian Foresta, vice president of global design for Adidas basketball. “He’s the leader in Portland now, and it’s a testament to where he came from.”

Adidas is also offering up an Aurora Borealis collection for NBA All-Star Weekend in Toronto in February.
