Last week, the Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers officially welcomed former NBA MVP Derrick Rose to their rotation. Like many other professional basketball players, “D-Rose,” as he is known, has his own signature line of shoes.
Foot Locker has released a sneak-peek of Rose’s latest kicks: the Adidas D Rose 8’s. According to SoulCollector.com, the new footwear is slated to hit retail stores on Saturday, October 28. While pricing is yet to be set, there is no doubt that collectors and enthusiasts will be clamoring for a pair.
“The forefoot, with its striated perforations, makes me think of Wolverine — especially in this black/yellow/blue colorway. It looks like the latest Rose will get full-length Boost cushioning (#BoostIsLife) and a lacing system similar to what we’ve seen on the Crazy Explosive and Crazy Light Boost. There is some fuse reinforcement, but crisper photos will better tell us what we’re in for.”
Previous models of Rose’s signature shoe were made available in a wide variety of materials and colorways. For now, Cavs fans will just have to wait for a Wine and Gold variant.
