Portland Trail Blazers Forward LaMarcus Aldridge has been blessed with some of the better player exclusives in the league, particularly with the Air Max Hyperposite model in the last few years. Nike has given Aldridge not one, not two, but three PEs to wear for the upcoming playoff series against the Houston Rockets.
All three colorways seamlessly fit Portland’s signature black, red and white jerseys, while providing flashiness through various forms of camo-prints. The predominantly black and predominately white colorways were actually designed by LaMarcus himself, along with the help of a fan who won an auction.
While these PEs will likely never see store shelves, hit the comments on what do you think of the colorways. Which one would you rock if you had to choose one pair?

All three of these are straight FIRE!
I dont understand why Nike hasn’t supported this shoe. The few colorways that have actually hit retail are OK at best (a couple were cool). These as well as the ones Bosh and Rudy Gay regularly wear would sell extremely well. I just dont understand why Nike wont capitalize on these great colorways and sell them to the general public. Are they afraid they would cut into the profits on the Lebron XI (Similar consumer base)? Its frustrating.
possibly because these are better than the Lebron’s. no pun intended but I dig these shoes not because of the player that carries it, but what it brings to the table.
I like the first pair with red foam and camo lining.
Love these PEs. The nickname, though….L-Smooth?? Bleh
Do they come in size 11.5?
