The 2014-15 NBA season saw Derrick Rose suit up for 51 regular-season games. While still 31 games shy of a full season, it was the most contests he’d appeared in since becoming the youngest player in NBA history to win NBA MVP.
So the D Rose 5 Boost was timed just right, and with the flashes of excellence and explosiveness Rose exhibited in the playoffs, at least intermittently, it’s way too early to write him off after back-to-back season-ending leg injuries. Even if he’s still not the player he once was. Now comes the D Rose 6, and with it the stress to continue his odyssey back to the forefront of NBA superstardom.
“Nobody believed in me except my friends, my family, my fans and my city,” Rose said in adidas’ release. “That’s all I need. My goal is to get back to work and bring it every day.”
The BOOST technology that debuted in the fifth shoe of his signature line, returns in No. 6, and no one is happier about that than Derrick.
“This is the second shoe I’ve been able to wear with Boost and the comfort and energy you get back is crazy. I’m not going to wear another basketball shoe that doesn’t have Boost,” Rose said. “adidas also brought a lot of details about Chicago that I think my fans will love.”
Here’s more from adidas, per the release, about the performance components of the sneaker, and the design elements that have always commemorated Rose’s hometown of Chicago:
The D Rose 6 comes equipped with forefoot and heel Boost cushioning engineered for basketball movements to ensure energy return and comfort. The bold, rugged FITFRAME heel cage and straps are constructed to deliver an adaptive fit and represent his countless hours spent in the gym. A herringbone traction pattern, inspired by woodgrain textures and design, adds optimum grip for drives to the basket.
Blending details inspired by the city of Chicago with premium materials for a luxury finish, the D Rose 6 features the six-point star of the Chicago flag at the base of the laces and six reflective lines in the heel. The silhouette’s diamond pattern upper and faceted eyelets call on the sharp, bold architecture of the city with a rugged feel to match Rose’s play.
The D Rose 6 ($140) launches Oct. 15 in “Home” (grey) and Nov. 5 in “Road” (black) colorways with five more editions unveiling through the end of the year.
