Though Derrick Rose may have retired from professional basketball, his connection with Adidas Basketball is arguably at its highest point in years, with the Chicago native's high-profile involvement in launching Jerry Lorenzo’s Adidas x Fear of God Athletics II Basketball shoe.
Now, Jerry Lorenzo has shared a glimpse of a new “Derrick Rose” II Basketball sample, fueling speculation about a potential release.
Revealed by Lorenzo on Instagram, it showcases D-Rose’s logo prominently on the heel and features bold Chicago-inspired red accents that pay homage to his iconic career with the Bulls. The design also includes a nod to Rose’s playing days, with an accompanying ankle brace, further solidifying the connection to his legacy.
Although the release status of these sneakers remains unclear, it seems more likely that this pair is a PE (player exclusive) rather than a wide release, given the specifics of the design. Still, fans of Derrick Rose and the Fear of God x adidas partnership eagerly await confirmation.
Expect ore details to emerge soon, should there be any further developments.
