The D Lillard 2 has been a hit. Dame’s second sneaker returns with a brand new crazy-ass texture and color, inspired by all the time he and his family members spent at a tennis court while they were growing up.
“The reason I wanted to make and wear those shoes at my first show was all for my family,” Dame said via an adidas press release. “When we were kids, we used to play all types of games on these tennis courts around the corner from my grandma’s house in Brookfield. When all my cousins and family came out on stage with me, it was like we were back on those tennis courts again.”
The stage Dame mentions was the one he recently performed on, while he was rocking the Tennis Ball 2s.
The upper, which feels like a tennis ball and was constructed with felt, is all dipped in fluorescent yellow. A very limited run of the “Tennis Ball” colorway will be available Aug 30 for $105 exclusively at Foot Locker 34th Street in New York City.
