adidas and Dame DOLLA are paying homage to the Blazers' star's Portland stomping grounds and the Pacific Northwest with a "Forestry" edition of the guard's signature kicks. A nod to the lush green hills and dense forests of Oregon's metropolitan center, the kicks see everything from a flannel TECHFIT bootie, metal D-ring lacing grommets and bright yellow boot laces to a tumbled brown leather upper and speckled blue midsole -- inspired by the Northwest's seemingly relentless rain. A Dame-penned #4BarFriday freestyle even adorns the sockliner as a nod to his Rip City experience:
Made in the city of roses they dodging rain drops
Funny how the city on fire a couple names hot
Keepin’ Portland weird they gonna love me when all the fame stops
I do it for the people while knocking down end of game shots
Finally, Portland's 503 area code comes printed on the heel tab as a final Stumptown tribute.
The "Forestry" edition of the D Lillard 1 is set to hit adidas.com and Foot Locker this Friday, August 7 for $105 USD.
