Along with adidas, Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose met fans in Chicago on Saturday to celebrate the launch of his new signature shoe, the adiZero Rose 2. With a basketball buzz that hasn't been felt in the Windy City since the days of MJ and Scottie, flocks of Bulls die-hards swarmed the adidas Store on Michigan Avenue and Foot Locker on State Street, where the MVP posed for photos and thanked his supporters while officially introducing the Rose 2.

Later in the day, Rose and crew made the move to the James Jordan Boys & Girls Club for the "Run with D-Rose" event. There, lucky Facebook fans were given the opportunity to play 3-on-3 with Rose. Joining Derrick was rapper, actor and fellow Chicago native Common, who laced up the adiZero Rose 2s and played a little roundball himself. Common also spit a freestyle for the crowd, while DJ Neil Armstrong, DJ Mick Boogie and DJ Araab Muzik provided beats during the game.
