Before today's Chicago launch, a lot of work went into the creation of the brand new adidas D Rose 3 signature shoe. To give fans and sneaker enthusiasts a little insight into how the luxe performance model came to be, adidas has supplied these early sketches and renderings developed by designer Kohei Kanata.

Check out some of the early Rose 3 looks below.
