Lillard 3 will be released in December 2016. After a period of silence, adidas Basketball officially released Lillard’s latest generation signature shoe, the Dame 3. Similar to the configuration of the previous two generations, this one is still composed of Bounce cushioning technology and Techifit foam inner boots. The exaggerated tongue and flank TPU are the most iconic highlights of this generation.
The three colors that have been released so far are the Chinese Lunar New Year special with CNY, the all-red Roots inspired by the hard training of youth, and the home color Rip City. As the Chinese Lunar New Year approaches, adidas Basketball has specially prepared a special colorway for the Dame 3 for the Year of the Rooster.
The shoe body in three colors of white, black and red is calm and capable, supplemented by a specially designed feather midsole texture, creating a unique visual experience. Roots, which is known for its popularity, turned Lillard's hard training in his youth into design inspiration.
Milk crates and red bricks, as props from past training, have always inspired me. The home color Rip City is displayed on the insole, representing Oakland, Ogden, and Oregon respectively, while on the other side, Wearing The Letter O is the usual line used by the Blazers' opening announcer when introducing him.
Other profiles of Lillard.
Lillard Generation: This shoe was released in 2015. The young Lillard did not receive the attention of Adidas, and the sneakers were not equipped with the latest technology. The market response was also satisfactory and did not cause too big a stir.
Lillard II: Due to Lillard’s popularity, Dame2 is equipped with Adidas’ latest bounce technology and built-in special rubber, which greatly improves the foot feel and becomes a mid-priced practical shoe. After the four starting players left the team, Lillard supported the entire team by himself. His status as a lone hero made Lillard's sneakers popular.
The third generation of Lillard has canceled the obvious Adidas logo. The third generation of Lillard has undergone earth-shaking changes. The integration of the tongue and upper greatly improves the wrapping, and the division of the sole module makes the boot faster. The thickened bounce rubber shows the greatest sincerity. But compared to the second generation, its foot feel has declined, and it is more inclined to improve controllability.
