Hit Footlocker last weekend. Was so surprised how hard Adidas is pumping Dame, even in podunk Indianapolis.
They gave 200 mil to Harden last summer. oops. Wiggins has yet to blow up/Rubio is mostly trash. So not all that shocking I guess. Still kinda surreal to see Dame's face plastered everywhere, that too nowhere close to POR or Oakland.
Played hoops last night in the new Nike 2016 Zoom HyperRev's & the Lillard 2's are much more comfortable.
Was listening to the Woj podcast this morning. The shoe dude on there said Dame's shoes are the best selling signature in the Adidas lineup. He mentioned how Dame's engaging nature and commitment to launches even during the season have put him on top over guys like Wall who are in larger markets. Definitely a selling point for free agents. If you try a bit, you can get just as many marketing opportunities in POR as you would anywhere else. That disparity between market size is becoming even less pronounced.
New Colorway: Fool's Gold Damian Lillard takes some inspiration form the history of his home state for this new “Fool’s Gold” edition of the adidas D Lillard 2. Dame pays tribute to those who stayed and settled in California after the gold rush in 1849, with the shoe crafted in a bold color blockof metallic gold and black completed with an icy green outsole and matching laces. The adidasD Lillard 2“Fool’s Gold” will fittingly release on April 1st (April Fool’s Day) at select adidasBasketball retailers.
Yes/No These new releases are not in the employee store. maybe in about 3 months or so. But they usually have 2 or 3 different style in there and they are marked down.
Hmmm, so probably don't have the RYB (or "Rainbow") version yet? I just started shooting hoops for the first time in YEARS, and thinking I should get some shoes. Maybe I'll swing by and see if anything else catches my eye.
