I think they retroed this model because of how good D-Rose is playing this season. Adidas has probably seen how many people got excited and nostalgic (me included) because of that. If only they did a "protro" insted of a retro, i've always loved the look of the earlier models but my injured knee never let me play in any of those...
I believe adidas stated that the drose 9 would be the last sneaker they make for him and after that they were going to start to retro previous models. They were specific on which ones they were going to retro and or if they were going to make a new shoe because when they made that announcement drose was balling like he is now 🔥 so who knows lmfaoo
Ts cut creator was amazing for me performance wise. I used to forget i was wearing shoes when i hooped in those and that is imo the best compliment to give for any shoe
I had the St. Patrick's Day colorway and this is probably one of the best shoe I've ever played in. Excellent traction and very low to the ground with just the right amount of cushioning.
I feel the same about retros, too. I need Nike to retro some of my favorites: Zoom Turbine, VC2, Air Force 25, Ultra Flight, Payton IV, and Flightposite III. Adidas also needs to retro the Gil 2 Zero, T-Mac 3.5, T-Mac 4, and especially the T-Mac 2 (properly) -- I will always hate that "Return of The Mac" crap they gave us a few years ago and tried to pass as the T-Mac 2. There are also a bunch of others to name like the Uptempo Pro, but I don't think we'll ever see those if we haven't seen the other models I named.
Kylyn Burn with shipping and exchange rate you end up paying 30% more. I did it recently for Jordan 6 Infrared. Paid a total of AU$350. But hey, I’m happy I got the sneaker!
That's fair but if you use the discount codes it usually ends up either same price or a lil cheaper..but they are guaranteed to have it whereas Australia is always the lottery with good stuff
Kylyn Burn very true! I’m just resigned to the fact that if you want a sneaker too have to be prepared to use all avenues to get it. It’s how I ended up with 2 pairs of Infrared 😂
I may be wrong but I believe I started watching you around that time with this shoe coming out originally with that lebron 8. I was in middle school then. Damn I feel old
The Adidas Adizero Rose and the Adidas D Rose 2 are some of my favorite Derrick Rose shoes of all time. I also think that Adidas should probably add some new tech to some of it's ts creator models or just bring back Chauncey Billups shoes back. Maybe even the same can be said for Dwight Howard shoes. Man times flies for sure. I remember when all these shoes came out lol. Have a good day
Sold out in just about all sizes in 2 days. I hear you about the calf strain...I got injured during a scrimmage and being a hooper who's in the gym 5 days a week I kept playing in the game Sunday, took Monday off and did training Tues in AM and played in the next game Tuesday night. The following day I woke up couldn't walk. Thought it was a calf strain. Went to Dr. and it turned out to be an achilles injury (inner foot/heel). 5 weeks of treatments and PT and I was back in the game. Forced myself to get back as soon as possible. I'm around your age, probably a year or so older lol so be sure to do proper stretches and rehabilitation exercises when returning to sport. Keep going!
You forgot to call these ‘bad boys’. I had these back in the day, absolutely loved them! I had the gray/white/red which i used for outdoor hooping and the black/white for the gym. And yeah, these took a long time to break in, but once they did they felt perfect! Hoping these would get a release in Europe.
It's funny you mentioned about how some people feel about retros. I was initially one of those that didn't necessarily care about retros...especially when Jordan Brand first retro'ed the 1s, 2s and 3s. I did love the box they came in and bought a poster of that artwork. I enjoy sneaker tech innovation and advancements coz I'm a sneaker tech nerd. However, in '99 when they retro'ed the 5s.....that's when my stance changed. I bought the white/red and black/silver AJ 5s....gave my brother the white/red pair....I still have my black/silver pair. The 5s were the first sneakers that got me into loving Air Jordans. Retros to me ..now, are a chance to get kicks that I couldn't back when they first came out for one reason or another and finally experiencing them, or reliving ones I did have. Side note...I enjoyed MJ when he played for the Wizards. He was still killing teams methodically at age 38....on both ends of the floor. I apologize for my old man rambling.
You are totally right, the rose 1 were and still are uncomfortable, I saw them on ebay for 30 dollars and I bought them excited to put them in my collection, but when I put them on my feet they looked like stones, they were nothing special. The good thing was that I sold them and I could buy some drose7 and I am very happy with them. Great video as usual!
I bought these shoes when I lived in Korea. I played outdoors then and the traction wore down in 3 months and the cushioning bottomed out after 6 months. The court feel was great though and the padding around the collar was plush and didn’t absorb sweat. The laces were also good; flat and wide so they tied tight so you were good all game, but you could still loosen the knot to untie them. Hoping they drop in the grey/red with white toe cap.
I need that all flights cancelled 2.5 to retro. They had the flight board insoles in that pair and that's fire. As well as the red "loop" pair that had the "L" train system on the insole.
I remember not liking the way they looked when they first came out but now I think they look so dope. Hopefully they're good performers and if they are I'll definitely grab a pair.
Speedy recovery Chris. I have lots of retros and people always ask me if I play in them? I can't I need the new tech. There are some models that I would wear. Maybe AJ 7's, 10's and 11's.
I have the originals of this colorway, they actually had a limited drop on Twitter during the playoffs that year. I will pull them out to try to ball in them again.
Played in chucks on an outdoor court for a couple of games. This happened a couple of years ago. They are still playable. Only shoe that i brought with me and got asked to play while on vacation. 🤷🏻♂️😅
Great video as always! I got a good laugh out of Mrs. Wing's face when you chose bananas as your example of things being used beyond their main purpose lol.
YES!!! Please adidas!!!! 1.0,1.5,2.0 and 2.5 after that it was not the same for me. I loved sprint web. And only if they retro that crazy light 😍😍😍. It just brings me back to mvp rose
I had these OG. There are some little details that seem a little off to me. Maybe the CW was a little different here, in Europe. Just from the video, the little red mesh part on the ankle part was definitely black on mine. Also the heel area leather was more like brushed, torn, a little nubuck style, maybe. It was not nice and smooth like on these. I think the laces had some hits of red, they were not just all flat black everything. The round pivot pod thingies on the outsole were more transparent, or maybe it's just the lighting in the video and I think the side part of the outsole had some changes in the tooling done as well. Overall, I think these look dope. I think the leather looks better than on the OGs, those were shiny and more "pleather" (as in cheap plastic leather) looking. The insole was definitely thick and soft on the OG, though. So, that's one thing that he OG's had, also mine didn't pinch or hurt my feet. Used to love playing in them, they were in my bag for a long time. Might just cop these, if I can find them over here.
Dude the Adizero commercials were dope!!!! Glad Mrs. Nightwing makes an appearance...Nightwing kids next???....You might as well create a UA-cam Nightwing family channel!!! Get better bro!!!!
Chris was right they came out with the original adi zero rose 1 this year and I was able to get them under retail on Eastbay. I hope they retro the rose 2 I fucking love that shoe.
I Just saw in the shoe store the IVERSONs white leather ..they have the big air pods at the sole. The Answers i think??? The gold oval with the Reebok sign inside. I use to Love those Shoes!
Retro to me always means buying back the dreams I could not afford as a kid
Can't agree more man! Still waiting om them kobe 5s
Facts brother
Haha yes !
🙏🏾☘️
Retro to me always means remembering that I'm still as broke as I was as a kid
I hope all the old d rose shoes get retro
my wishlist
1.0 - yes
3.0 - yes
3.5 - yes
6.0 - YES
7.0 - YES
I have his 2.5 Playoff edition. I honestly think its the best Drose shoe he ever release.
To me the d rose line is one of the best. I feel like the only bad shoe really was the d rose 9s
Me too the drose 3.5 is one of my favorite basketball shoes to play in of all time
@@jayjackson2364 I only like the 9 as a casual. I honestly wished i bought his 4 and 4.5
Back then 1.5 was the dream for me as a huge drose fan man. So glad they drop them again
My first exposure to sneaker videos was when d rose explained his adizero rose releases lol
Good times
Still waiting for mine to come in. But I still got a pair deadstock from 2011. These were my fav back in the day!!
I think they retroed this model because of how good D-Rose is playing this season. Adidas has probably seen how many people got excited and nostalgic (me included) because of that. If only they did a "protro" insted of a retro, i've always loved the look of the earlier models but my injured knee never let me play in any of those...
At Ieast their retro have the same price as the OG, unIike *cough* Nike *cough* Jordan *cough*
I believe adidas stated that the drose 9 would be the last sneaker they make for him and after that they were going to start to retro previous models. They were specific on which ones they were going to retro and or if they were going to make a new shoe because when they made that announcement drose was balling like he is now 🔥 so who knows lmfaoo
If only they added boost to this 🔥
@@chrisvw7 drose 10 actually
It's been leaked
Adidas needs to bring back the TS Cut Creator & Supernaturals I loved those!!
Ts cut creator was amazing for me performance wise. I used to forget i was wearing shoes when i hooped in those and that is imo the best compliment to give for any shoe
Supernatural Commander r my all time fav!
I had the St. Patrick's Day colorway and this is probably one of the best shoe I've ever played in. Excellent traction and very low to the ground with just the right amount of cushioning.
I Pray that they retro the 2.5s 🙏
YES
I used to LOVEE playing in the old Drose shoes.... sadly all mine are beat up
Anyone know if they're gonna retro the 2.5s??? because those were FIRE!!!
Happy for my man D'Rose for adidas giving his shoe line a retro! By the way I still got my OG's of that adizero rose 1.5 the home colorway
I feel the same about retros, too. I need Nike to retro some of my favorites: Zoom Turbine, VC2, Air Force 25, Ultra Flight, Payton IV, and Flightposite III. Adidas also needs to retro the Gil 2 Zero, T-Mac 3.5, T-Mac 4, and especially the T-Mac 2 (properly) -- I will always hate that "Return of The Mac" crap they gave us a few years ago and tried to pass as the T-Mac 2.

Did you grab yourself a pair of the D Rose 1.5s yet? What other performance sneaker would you like to see make a return to the court?
I love the vids
holy sh*t what a #ThrowbackThursday
Kobe 9 Elite, imagine a protro version with better traction
WearTesters the original crazy explosives in that weird green and orange colorway
no sizes from size 8.5 to 10????
It's such a beautiful shoe.. That 3 stripes on the back.. When Rose was the star of the Bulls. I'm happy I witnessed that.
Aye I like the new camera work it's a nice plus to your vids
Wishing you a speed recovery. Thanks for all you do.
Nightwing, used to play with the rose 1.5 and 2.0, the 1.5s were so good, traction was suberb and fit was perfect, loved it more than any Jordans
Still have my white toe 1.5 loved wearing that shoe for pick up games at the gym. Always thought it looked good on foot.
most sizes are sold out! Glad I was quick enough to order a pair!
Fuuck i wish i could get these , and the mvp's a.k.a 2.5. GRAILS!
Awesome video as always and i like the convo afterwards.
Kirosalol I have all of them what size r u?
heyMVPhey you still got these?
@@heyMVPhey 10/10.5 , I'm from Eu tho so. 44-44.5
I can still remember the video wherein you told us that you wanted to have two cameras for this segment, and now you have two! Awesome!
Really like your reviews, the kicks are clean, i'd rock them.
These were fire back in the day, wanted a pair in middle school. Glad they made a retro
Been waiting for this months! Hoping footlocker Australia will get these
Buy from American Footlocker or Eastbay
Kylyn Burn with shipping and exchange rate you end up paying 30% more. I did it recently for Jordan 6 Infrared. Paid a total of AU$350. But hey, I’m happy I got the sneaker!
That's fair but if you use the discount codes it usually ends up either same price or a lil cheaper..but they are guaranteed to have it whereas Australia is always the lottery with good stuff
It also depends on the sneaker too
Kylyn Burn very true! I’m just resigned to the fact that if you want a sneaker too have to be prepared to use all avenues to get it. It’s how I ended up with 2 pairs of Infrared 😂
Love to see the discussion between you guys. Always good to hear opinions from a different perspective
This is so cool to see. Something about this shoes toebox is so premium looking. I wore the Rose 2's until the sole was FLAT.
Glad these dropped in the states! I love the 2.5’s I hope they retro soon.
Love the fact D Roses will get retroed - cant wait for review! Heal up Mr Wing ♡♡
I may be wrong but I believe I started watching you around that time with this shoe coming out originally with that lebron 8. I was in middle school then. Damn I feel old
please keep the split screen, it was a nice touch
The Adidas Adizero Rose and the Adidas D Rose 2 are some of my favorite Derrick Rose shoes of all time. I also think that Adidas should probably add some new tech to some of it's ts creator models or just bring back Chauncey Billups shoes back. Maybe even the same can be said for Dwight Howard shoes. Man times flies for sure. I remember when all these shoes came out lol. Have a good day
Dang... these really look a lot like they could've been a jordan retro and I LOVE THAT. These are CLEAN.
I'm so happy these came back. Waiting on mine!
Hope you get a speedy recovery, and to see Adidas dropping the 2.5 again
I had the 4.5 when they released would love to see them retro

Damn... this brings back good memories from 2011. I've used my 1.5 OG until last year when they got totally beaten up. Very nice review btw!
Retro's are the greatest! Golden age of Rose! awesome review really brings back 7 years ago when adidas hurt.
Haha, I was a crazy converse fan. And like you I am a fan of D Rose. Bought his 3.0 away, and his 6 primeknit after your great reviews!
Copped a pair a few days ago! So excited cuz d rose is my favorite player, but I never got a chance to get any of these pairs when I was younger.
It's funny you mentioned about how some people feel about retros.

I believe eastbay magizines and the drose line was what got me into sneakers. Remembered always wanting the adirose 1. Hopefully those retro soon.
I need that all flights cancelled 2.5 to retro. They had the flight board insoles in that pair and that's fire. As well as the red "loop" pair that had the "L" train system on the insole.
By far the best looking sneaker in the DRose line and probably the best signature adidas basketball shoe in a over a decade
Those r the cleanest looking shoes d.rose has came out with . id definitely rock these
I remember not liking the way they looked when they first came out but now I think they look so dope. Hopefully they're good performers and if they are I'll definitely grab a pair.
That second angle/hand held cut looks dope. Edit game.
Adidas would retro these while you're on the mend. Great video as usual +WearTesters
The Rose 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 by far the three best shoes in the Rose line. Im not a Rose fan but those three shoes were great to play in.
Speedy recovery Chris. I have lots of retros and people always ask me if I play in them? I can't I need the new tech. There are some models that I would wear. Maybe AJ 7's, 10's and 11's.

Dangg soo happy these came back out! I had the 1s and ran those to the ground was sad when I had to let them go 😫
Loving the split screen with the crew in the production truck ;-)
Respect for using the right term of Retro vs Re release. Bugs me when people say re release especially any Jordan/Nike.🤪
they used adiprene (blue) in the heel... if you look close enough in the stripes in the outsole, its written there
No freaking way. I remember seeing commercials of these when In middle school. Gives me a nostalgic feeling, also makes me feel old 😭
Great review as always. I will buy this one. Never had the chance to buy it back in the day because I was still a student. 😂 The time is now! ❤️
Was using this shoe during my college days where we were actively playing basketball. This is the best shoe i had sadly its all beat up now
Played in chucks on an outdoor court for a couple of games. This happened a couple of years ago. They are still playable. Only shoe that i brought with me and got asked to play while on vacation. 🤷🏻♂️😅
These are amazing. One of my favs. Great video!
The original was super good. Natural foot motion. I shrededd it outdoors. Hope these last in the gym. Liked the split screen look at the end.
Hey chris, love your channel ❤️🖤
Would you publish preference review for the d rose 1.5?
Love from far far Israel
We will
looking tired
hope your recovery is coming along, hang in there!
Camera is SUPER CRISPY CLEAR
I still have the original CrazyQuick & Light and yes, I remember the sprint frame in a not so nice way.
Your Knowledge is absolutely impressive! Thank you!
Beautiful shoes... cant wait for the 2 and 2.5!
So glad I copped so hyped for these 🙌🏼🔥
I like the new camera angles
i copped these the other day ! super excited !! but they should have released the pair that has the white toe box.
Great video as always! I got a good laugh out of Mrs. Wing's face when you chose bananas as your example of things being used beyond their main purpose lol.
MADD respect for adidas on this one
YES!!! Please adidas!!!! 1.0,1.5,2.0 and 2.5 after that it was not the same for me. I loved sprint web. And only if they retro that crazy light 😍😍😍. It just brings me back to mvp rose
Thanks for the vid NW. These look so clean.
estan super chingones.!!!!!nice vid bro. saludos from Mexico
The banana example got me dying bruh. 😂

Love these!!! Get well soon nightwing!
Dude the Adizero commercials were dope!!!! Glad Mrs. Nightwing makes an appearance...Nightwing kids next???....You might as well create a UA-cam Nightwing family channel!!! Get better bro!!!!
I ordered them! And got 20% off😁 can't wait to get them
Imagine them being a protro and them adding bounce and keeping the $110 price point. Thoughts?
Chris was right they came out with the original adi zero rose 1 this year and I was able to get them under retail on Eastbay. I hope they retro the rose 2 I fucking love that shoe.
Get well soon!
The sprint frame on my 2.5s still aren't broken in. Hurts a lot since I'm a super wide footer, like you said
Bruh if they drop the D. Lillard 2s then Adidas is officially taking 2019
That would be awesome, but they're on the 5, wait 5 more years and perhaps we'll get them
I have a pair size 11 deadstock. BRed colorway
I have 2 pairs of dame 2s but i just wish the lockdown would be tighter but that cushion though....
I miss that shoe. Where did you get your own pair? Thanks
Are the 2.5s gonna get a retro?
I Just saw in the shoe store the IVERSONs white leather ..they have the big air pods at the sole. The Answers i think??? The gold oval with the Reebok sign inside. I use to Love those Shoes!
Had the adizero rose 2.5, mvp rose days
Can't wait for the 3.0 to be retro
Are/will these be available in store? Some sizes are soldout already online.
Man, if adidas protro'd some of their older models, it would be dope. Imagine these with bounce cushion.
Keeping my hopes of the maestro 1s coming back alive.
When did these drop???!
Trying to cop a size 9.5 but they not online?? :(
