Since Derrick Rose's signature sneaker line was launched in 2011, adidas has followed up the initial release with a .5 model at the midway point of the season. The second half shoe typically takes elements from the design and tech of the first shoe and applies them to a new and improved model for the playoff stretch.
Today, adidas officially launches the D Rose 4.5, a shoe that features a design inspired by Rose's on-court instincts. SprintWeb, SprintSkin and SprintFrame handle the construction as usual, while padding around the ankle has been increased to create a more ergonomic fit for enhanced comfort. You can pick up a pair now at retailers like Eastbay.
With the 4.5 now in stores, we're curious to find out what your favorite .5 Rose shoe is. Check out each shoe and cast your vote below.
