Derrick Rose is technically an alumnus of the University of Memphis, but one-and-done ballers in the post-Howard era are often more strongly associated with their high schools than the college colors they wore for a single season. Such is the case in Chicago, where hometown hero Derrick Rose led the Simeon Success Academy to back-to-back Illinois state titles in the mid-’00s. This new adidas adiZero Rose 2.5 celebrates Derrick’s childhood in Chi-town with a Simeon-derived colorup that’s considerably more reserved than the all-yellow Wolverines-inspired adiZero Rose he rocked in last year’s All Star Game. Click through for more images and a video preview of the adiZero Rose 2.5 ‘School of Hard Knocks’ and grab yours today from Eastbay.
