The location – the Chicago Illuminating Company in Chicago , IL. The guests – Derrick Rose, his family, and the adidas Basketball Team. The focus – the launch of the adidas Rose 3 and the adidas Rose Apparel Collection. The adidas Rose 3 marks the the third overall installment of the adidas Derrick Rose signature line, but this one arrives at a tricky time. As you all know, Derrick Rose is still recovering from a serious injury, but what may be devastating to one player is just another challenge to D-Rose. The progress he’s made, as documented by the documentary series known as ‘The Return of Derrick Rose’, will only lead to harder, better, faster, and stronger Rose once he returns.
During the media presentation, adidas Global Basketball VP Lawrence Norman, joined by Derrick Rose and adidas Basketball designer Rob Lee, laid out the groundwork of the adidas Rose 3, the adidas Rose Apparel line, and documentary series; as part of the presentation, the first episode of ‘The Return of Derrick Rose’ was shown, and almost immediately, Derrick Rose – a typically stoic, emotionless, and all-business individual – broke down in soft tears. Tears of sadness? Perhaps, but it was a sheer combination of his determination, passion, and love for his family (the Rose logo is a tribute to his three brothers and his mother at the center) that reminded him why he’s one of the greatest athletes in the world and why he’s going to be better than ever.
The shoes: easily the most luxurious adidas Rose we’ve ever seen. Featuring a leather upper, quilted sockliner, and Rose graphics on the inner tongue, the adidas Rose design is inspired by Derrick’s roots in Englewood (73rd St. and Paulina) and his playing days in Murray Park. The Rose 3 releases on October 4th with an MSRP of $160, but we’ll have more detailed images of the adidas Rose 3 and the adidas Rose Apparel Line as well as one-on-one interviews with Lawrence Norman, Rob Lee, and Apparel designer Travis Blasingame soon, so check out the adidas Rose 3 Media Launch Event below and stay tuned for more from this milestone occasion by adidas Basketball.
well you look at D.Rose face he not ready to play 100% and then Rose look at his new shoe. Damn this is another painful injury its my end game. By the way the shoe looks just the sole not applicable for D.rose game. anyway good luck. another Tmac story
Very Nice, and glad to see a report on here about another brand other than Nike, not hatin' on Nike just seems like 9 out of every 10 stories is Nike on here thought it was sneaker news.com not Nike sneaker news.com
D-Rose is piff but only a small few uber fans would pay $160 for these, no matter the performance ability. Aesthetically its not a bad shoe though for some All Day I Dream About Sex's.
They're crazy light, so light it'll break your damn ankle. Kidding. lol
They okay. Ill take that sharp 90" tv tho.
There ok, maybe I need to see them in person.
Pistons fan, but umm yeah.
