adidas today unveils a new colorway
of
the adidas D Rose 4 signature shoe
Dubbed “Chicago Southside,”
the colorway pays tribute to Derrick’s basketball roots in the city of Chicago,
with amplified versions of the traditional colors Derrick wore throughout his
storied high school career.
“I never forget where I came
from and the path I took to get here,” said Rose. “The first time I played for
my city on a big stage I wore these colors, and that’s why I love these. It’s a
color I can wear to show pride and let my fans know more about where I’m from.”
The adidas D Rose 4 represents
the transition of Derrick from his focused, humble and understated off-court
personality to his fierce, attacking and aggressive on-court playing style. The
bright blue front half of the shoe features a metallic finish to represent the
trophies and accolades Derrick earned during his high school career in Chicago
which includes two Illinois Class AA State Championships, McDonald’s All-American
honors and Illinois Mr. Basketball. The
back half of the shoe features a GEOFIT collar and SPRINTFRAME contrasted in electricity.
The shoe features the
distinctive D Rose logo on the tongue and collar, which is made of three petals
that revolve around the letter "D" and number "1" in the
center to represent his three brothers and mother.
The adidas D Rose 4 “Chicago
Southside” drops today! October 10 for PHP 7995, and is available at adidas SM Mall of
Asia, SM Megamall, Trinoma, Greenbelt 3 and Marquee Mall, Olympic World Alabang
Town Center and Trinoma and Hoopsville Robinsons Galleria.
