Derrick Rose finally joins the ranks of NBA stars with their own lifestyle sneaker.
In a report by Adidas.com, Derrick Rose previously had the Adidas D Rose Lakeshore low-cut basketball shoe, featuring a full-grain leather upper and rubber soles. The new D Rose Lakeshore Boost is an upgrade of its predecessor, featuring a whole new casual style and Boost technology, among other things.
In a report by Kicks On Fire, the Chicago Bulls point guard will showcase his own lifestyle shoe, called the "D Rose Lakeshore Boost", on December 1. The shoes will be available at selected Adidas retail outlets and Adidas.com at a retail price of $130.
Kicks On Fire stated in the same report that shoe is expected to fare well in the lifestyle sneaker market because of its color scheme and it has the look that makes it ideal for daily use. The D Rose Lakeshore Boost is especially made to stay tough against the elements of winter with its rugged black upper and padded heel collar. There are perforations on the collar and side panels. The padded heel collar features a white dotted pattern against a black background while there are scarlet tones on the Adidas logo and D Rose tab on the black tongue.
Sole Collector featured the D Rose Lakeshore Boost's rugged upper, complete with perforations to ensure breathability while providing protection and warmth during the cold season. The padded heel provides a snug fit and ankle support. The insoles are black while the heel portion and rounded toe part are also rugged leather. The shoelaces are also black which complement the boot-inspired lace panel. The debossed Derrick Rose logo appears on the heel of the shoe.
The best part of the D Rose Lakeshore Boost is the white Boost midsole, making it one of the most comfortable lifestyle sneakers available in the market today. The Boost material appears on the entire length of the midsole from front to back. The outsole is gum, to ensure that users can tread along wet and snowy paths without any issue. NiceKicks.com also featured photos of the gum outsole, Boost midsole and the metal bootlace panel at the top of the shoe. More pictures of Derrick Rose modeling the shoes and related apparel were also shown, indicating that there will be sweaters, pants and other Lakeshore-inspired accessories available too.
The Adidas D Rose Lakeshore Boost will officially release on Monday, December 1.
