10 years of friendship between Derrick Rose and adidas

Today Derrick Rose celebrates his 30th birthday. He will start his tenth season soon - he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls team in the 2008. Rose played in his home town until 2016, when he was transfered to New York's Knicks, where he spent one season. The next stop was Cleveland, and the 2018/2019 season he will start at the Timberwolves team in Minnesota.

His career start in the world's toughest basketball league was just impressive - the defender dragged his entire team up and beat the opponents' defense with sharp cuts. The spectacular performance and wins in the 2010/2011 season brought Rose MVP title - he became the youngest player to win this prestigious award. It seemed that nobody would stop the Bulls in that season - 62 victories in the regular season prophesied only one. Champion title. Unfortunately, the locomotive was stopped that season.

The 2011/2012 brought knee injury, which seems to have become a decisive factor in the player's career. After her, Rose recovered hard and serious injuries continued to recur.

Rose is currently preparing for the new season and we hope that he will remind about himself in Minnesota! On this occasion, let's remember one of the fastest NBA league players shoes from the start of his career.

Since coming to the NBA, we see adidas shoes on Rose feet. The first version of his nominal shoes was released in October 2010. Adidas adiZero Rose shoes were designed for strong foot protection and suitable for intense basketball players. A year later, the second model - adidas adiZero Rose 1.5, which was lighter than the pioneer, appeared.

Adidas Adizero Rose 2, Adidas Adizero Rose 2.5 and Adidas D Rose 3 were released on the peak of Rose career. Additionally, the Rose logo, featuring rose and the letter D, was introduced to the latter model.

The long-awaited return took place in the 2013/2014 season - adidas, which created adidas D Rose 4 boots, was also preparing for it. The company has focused on foot protection and lightweight and flexible shoes. The work was not for nothing - player returned averaging 15.9 points per game.

The adidas D Rose 4.5 was supposed to extend the successful series and debuted with a new image, while adidas D Rose 5 Boost introduced the new adidas technology, which ensured the return of energy to the feet.

Extending the series In 2015, the D Rose 6 Boost boots represented Rose's versatility - the ability to cross closer to the basket and raise issues for the opponents basket while playing outside 3 point line.

The seventh model of the adidas D Rose series represented the speed - the shoes were designed to help the basketball player play intensively and not limit their movements.

Adidas has not lost faith in the athlete even after injuries and has introduced the Adidas D Rose 8-foot, which has a completely new, ultra-strong grip.

The newest version of the Rose series, adidas D Rose 9, was released this summer and featured its lightweight construction and comfortable foot fixation.

It's likely that we will see new models of Rose series! And now, we congratulate Derrick with the birthday and hope for success in the upcoming NBA season!
