Official Adidas Derrick Rose Thread - D Rose 11

[xplosivejeff]

My review goes live tomorrow. Short version - best adidas ball shoe ever.

I can't argue with that. Looking forward to your full review!

court feel is not kobe 8 or CL Boost 2015 but not lebron X either. Will have to actually play in em first

Interesting you say that. When I watched XplosiveJeff's review and he said they lacked some court feel, the first shoe I thought of is the Xs. Glad to know it isn't that bad

I love the Xs casually and the bounce you get walking around but I hated them on court. Always felt like I was gonna tip over lol

Interesting what he did to improve the lockdown http://schwollo.com/2015/10/30/adidas-drose-rose-6-performance-review/

that's interesting because all these time the whole point of the strap thing was for ankle & heel lockdown, but in actuality they don't do anything because adidas sew them to the plastic. the strap reminds me of the jordan XX2 SE, but on those the straps are completely independant.

Aside from that, that is easily the longest review I have ever seen for any product period, let alone a basketball shoe.

I like shoe reviews as much as the next person, but he needs a TLDR section somewhere.  I counted about 50 scrolls of my mouse wheel and that got me to about halfway through.

Could these shoes be worn casually?

any shoes can be worn casually.

I have clutchfit drive right now? Would you say that the D Rose 6 are too heavy? the review 17oz, but i just want to check how they feel compared to a lighter shoe. Would you say they are too heavy? As opposed to other shoes, do you sacrifice court feel to an extent which it would harm a PG? Im reeeeeeeeealy overthinkin this purchase lol

 

[xjsmoove23]

I'm pissed I can't walk into a store and buy these beasts

 

[akl3387]

So what is the verdict on sizing? Half size down or TTS? I'm an 11 in Jordans / Nikes, but I'm not sure about the Roses. 

 

[nikekid6]

Caved in and bought a pair off adidas

 

[redb13]

You might just answer the question we asked then

 

[tom4s]

Hi all! Is the classic upper (from the black one) softer than the suede version?

Sweet review! I picked up the ballin deads as soon as they went live this morning and I can't wait to play in them. 

Also ecstatic for the allstars with primeknit, Adidas has been killing it!

I'm going to get a pair of Rose 6's eventually and then I'll decide if your statement on the Supernatural Creator is blasphemous or not.

I don't like any of the colorways on Adidas right now, but those TB's on amazon are tempting.  Just a matter of time.

@iks mod

Did you try these on yet or pick up a pair?  What'd you do for sizing?  Thanks in advance.

 

[duke40]

Thanks Deezy. Since you know my love for that shoe I value your opinion. It was hard for me to say.

 

[indcens]

I really love the boost and transition of the shoe. My go to shoe now. Slightly disappointed with the heel lockdown. It doesn't slip, but doesn't feel secure either.

Although I love boost, I think people should lower their expectations. It's not as bouncy as people expect it to be. If you want a responsive shoe, a (good) zoom shoe is what you're looking for. If you're looking for a good foam cushion that is comfortable, durable, and not mushy, boost is the way to go. I actually found jetlon to be more responsive than boost, but too thin of a cushion to top boost.

 

[deezyvsop2]

Well the Supernatural Creator is easily my favorite Adidas Bball shoe and top 3 for me all time, any brand.  The cushioning dies first unfortunately and then the shoes are pretty much unplayable, but man when they're fresh they are absolute foot rockets with incredible fit and surprisingly lightweight for a shrouded shoe.

Still kicking myself for trading away my extra pairs, and still looking for new pairs to this day (or waiting on a retro haha).

But yeah, I can't wait to see how the Rose 6 performs.  The only shoe on my list as of now.

@DeezyVSOP2   I have yet to try these on, but based on about every review I've read, if I ordered today I would go .5 down.  If I can get to a store sometime this week I'll definitely try them on, just haven't gotten around to it

The Supernatural Creator is a shoe that I never tried and am dying to try.  I wasn't hugely into performance shoes at the time, it was the typical 1, maybe 2 pairs per season that I would burn through and I think I stayed with Nike.  Really hoping to come across a pair on eBay one of these days.

Excellent review @duke40  -- making it very difficult not to order these instantly

@iks mod

Haha, then you're up first.  I'm waiting for a colorway I like and another coupon code.  No rush for me with the Curry 2 and everything else in my rotation.
