The shark is one of the most feared and respected predators on the planet. Quick, agile, and lethal, the shark serves as the inspiration for a special PE colorway of the adidas D Lillard 2.

Known as the "Uprising," the latest Lillards were created specifically for the upcoming adidas Gauntlet, a tournament featuring over 200 of the best AAU teams in the country. The shoe's upper features color shifting attributes along with red and dark grey detailing which is all derived from sharks' characteristics. Additionally, the tongue features the adias Uprising branding.

The shoe is slated to make its debut at adidas Gauntlet Dallas this weekend as teams begin their journeys to South Carolina where the tournaments finale will be held on Friday, July 8.
