Derrick Rose, adidas brings back the AdiZero Rose 1 in an exclusive Chicago edition

There is probably no such athlete Chicago Bulls‘ fans will claim theirs as the youngest NBA MVP ever Derrick Rose. After winning unanimous Rookie of the Year honors in 2009, Rose’s career has been in the spotlight given his youth growing up in Chicago. After playing his final game for the Bulls in 2016, Rose and Adidas will be bringing back their signature AdiZero Rose 1 sneaker in an exclusive Chicago release coming soon.

Derrick Rose first signed with Adidas in 2012 after his MVP season, immediately becoming the point guard and face of the brand’s growing basketball line. The massive 13-year deal included a number of signature sneaker models, 11 of which were released under the numbered “Rose” series.

Returning for the first time, adidas will be retro-releasing the original AdiZero Rose 1, the shoe that started it all for Derrick Rose. Fans have been clamoring for pairs for years and Adidas will finally release an updated version with modern specs and materials.
