With the rising number of people calling themselves “sneakerheads”, adidas has done a great job as far as catering to that ever-growing market while still keep on top of performance. Even with players like Josh Smith and Dwight Howard under the Stripes with signatures sneakers, it is Derrick Rose and his adiZero Rose line that many of the brand enthusiasts check for. With Rose’s return date not confirmed yet, we take a look at some unconfirmed pictures of the upcoming adiZero Rose 3.
With these detailed pictures we get to confirm a few of the features that we speculated at last month about the Rose 3. A Sprintframe not unlike the one seen on the recently-released adiZero Crazy Light 2 is seen on this early sample.
Also confirmed is D Rose’s new logo which plays off of that nickname by placing the letter D inside of a rose-shaped insignia. The detailing on the inside of the tongue features a plant vine-ish design along with a street sign which no doubt represents something significant in the life of Derrick Rose. adidas has always been good with tying in stores of his life into his signature line.
Despite the bevy of injuries that NBA All-Star Derrick Rose has had to face in the last few months, adidas will stand behind their brand frontman by continuing his signature line despite his probable WORD delayed return to the active roster from the injured list.
Keep in mind that these are very early images and with a tentative October 2012 release, the pair that makes it to stores can be vastly different than seen here. Check our Kicks section often though as we will definitely have all the official images.
