Derrick Rose’s Sneaker History
August 24th, 2012 by John K. | 17 comments

At the young age of 23, Derrick Rose signed the second-most lucrative sneaker contrast in history, essentially teaming up with adidas for the rest of his career. But how did Rose and adidas arrive at this history-making point? The adidas-and-D-Rose connection began in Memphis, a team outfitted by adidas, and spilled over into the NBA when Rose was the top pick. A quick rise to stardom and an MVP award cemented his role as one of the few elite athletes in the NBA that had a signature sneaker to call his own, but prior to his collegiate years, Rose was, in fact, rocking Kobes, LeBrons, and Air Jordans. Currently, we are awaiting the official launch of the adidas adiZero Rose 3.0 while Derrick Rose works out the kinks from the frightening injury that occurred early in the NBA Playoffs (he’s coming back stronger than ever), so check out this great recap of Derrick Rose’s sneaker history and we’ll keep you updated on what’s to come for adidas and Derrick Rose.

He have been wearing those ankle guard since he was in high school!
he must have been pissed that adidas wanted him and Nike didn't.
I think he's going to come back and go harder in 2013. He's got a lot to prove.
@Jerronimo I doubt that. he'll be good no doubt but maybe change his game to being a true pint guard with a lot of assist and outside shooting. Torn ACl means less movement. it happened to my friend so he doesn't competitive anymore. Maybe there's a chance he'll be the same slasher he was because of the technology NBA uses. But sorry to say I doubt that happening. Don;t get me wrong i love rose he's a beast inside.
I agree with you guys, hope DRose comes back @ 100% and doesnt change his game or play apprehensive because of the injury. The power, & speed @ which he attacks the rim is like nothing ive seen in an nba guard of his size. AI is close but he didnt have the power.
Sometimes I forget how young D Rose is seeing him wear LeBron's sneakers in high school reminded me. Hope he makes a speedy healthy recovery.
I loved hoopin in those lbj3 & lbj4 too... fire red 5s are hot tho. Yr of da 5s in 2013..... but hope d rose is healthy & gets back to dat explosive speed to da hoop. Favorite pg in da league after cp3
it would of been dope if he signed w/ Nike....oh well..
@airjordan1980 would u sign wit Adidas if they gave u a quarter billion to b wit us fa life... Nike can suck 1 after charging over 300 fa a pair of sneaks lol... plus him & Dwight Howard are putting Adidas on their backs & makin da brand more relevant in da last 6 to 7 yrs... wit KG & Tim Duncan on board too... so da old.sayin money talks bullshit walks
@Big_Infinite @airjordan1980
KG is with Li-Ning, isn't he?
@Big_Infinite @airjordan1980 KG is with Anta now. Just sayin
D. Rose is the dude here in the chi but i really hope that a.c.l. injury had nothing to do with the shoes.
@DeVille i tore my ACL wearing the 5s he has on 4 years ago
@bJWALKINrivers Sorry to hear man, hope it wasn't the shoes either. I just hope Rose doesnt have nagging knee problems.
@DeVille usually just a bad way coming up on someones foot or coming down on someones foot, his was just a bizarre accident
Would've been sick if he had the Laney V's with the Simeon jersey.
