No question D. Rose is one of the most exciting players Chicago has seen since Jordan’s legendary reign over the league back in the day. The 23 year old point guard has led his team (of equally young players) to the playoffs every year since he was drafted in 2008. Is it the shoes? Is it the shoes? Maybe. Maybe not, but they must help things. Rose debuted the latest version of his adidas adizero sneakers recently. The Rose 2.5s are said to be “the lightest signature basketball shoe Derrick has ever worn to give him next level speed and support.”

Chicago Bulls superstar guard Derrick Rose will debut a new version of his adidas signature shoe at the NBA All-Star game on 2/20. The second version of Derrick Rose’s signature shoe, the adiZero Rose 1.5 is lighter and more supportive than its predecessor because of a new formulation of Sprintskin. There is also a personalized touch to the adiZero Rose 1.5’s as the three-paneled Sprintskin zones represent each of Derrick’s brothers (Reggie, Allan, and Dwayne) who helped support him through his journey to the NBA.
Rose will begin the All-Star Game in a yellow colorway of the adiZero Rose 1 and debut the adiZero Rose 1.5 in the second half.
The kicks go on sale exclusively at Footlocker on 2/18 for $100.

Yesterday adidas revealed Josh Smith’s signature shoe and the response was very favorable. Today we bring you Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose’s adiZero Rose. adidas has spent a lot of money and released a lot of average basketball shoes in recent years but it looks like the tide might be turning in their favor. The adiZero Rose is aesthetically one of the best looking new basketball shoes we’ve seen in a minute.
The shoe is the lowest and lightest (12.9 ounces) shoe adidas has made in the genre since the Gil Zero’s (which really weren’t light at all). It was inspired by Rose’s on the court style and his fashion sense.
The heel is locked down by an internal fit collar while the upper features mixes of textiles and synthetics that help reduce weight and increase stability during cutting movements.
There are several new technical features in the shoe that aim to keep the foot secure and injury free during play.
From a style perspective the best feature is the bold 3-stripes logo along the back of the show. Definitely sets Rose shoe apart from the other adidas hoops signature shoes.
The adiZero Rose drops at Foot Locker this weekend and retails for $100.00.
