Yesterday we brought you the teaser for the second signature shoe for the NBA reigning MVP, today we bring you “The Bull” in full. Set to the backdrop of a bull fighters ring, we see Derrick Rose as we have never seen him before. As he cuts and dodges knives from over zealous multi-colored matadors and picadors, we get several good looks at the new adidas adiZero Rose 2. The shoe features SPRINTWEB to reduce weight and increase comfort, while the SPRINTFRAME external heel counter allows for stability and motion control. It features a gore ankle strap for increased lockdown that also adjusts to accommodate Derrick’s adiZero Speedwrap ankle brace. The unique herringbone and volcanic traction pattern give optimum grip and pay homage to Derrick’s explosive play.
Design details are inspired by his MVP season where he led his team to the top conference playoff seed and conference finals. The shoe features “All Flights Cancelled” on the tongue to represent how his play altered opposing teams’ future plans, and the sock liner reveals a list of cities with professional basketball teams as destinations on an airport status board. All statuses read canceled except for one that is “Cleared for Flight,” Chicago. Available October 6 exclusively at Foot Locker and Eastbay for $110.
