Sneaker releases are usually announced on popular sneaker websites, but Portland Trailblazers' Damian Lillard took the untraditional route and decided to make the announcement of his first adidas silhouette via his Instagram page.

The great thing about this announcement from Lillard was that it came via a freestyle on IG. In the short 15-second clip, the Portland Trailblazer mentions that his dream came true when adidas created the DLillard 1.

The DLillard 1 has no official release date, but the NBA player did write on his IG page that shoe will be dropping some time in 2015. Stay tuned for more details regarding Lillard's first adidas sneaker release.
