Official Adidas Derrick Rose Thread - D Rose 11

[nhkb]

After reading the minutes from trial, think it's safe to say this is the last Rose model we will see regardless of outcome

Would you care to explain? Just curious. I've only read an article from 3 days ago.

Would you care to explain? Just curious. I've only read an article from 3 days ago.

1) Doe's lawyer also showed Rose's loose grasp of what consent means.

2) Q: & that's ur understanding of what consent is correct? A: i had sex with her before, yes

3) Q: So that made u believe u could go over to her apartment and have sex with her that evening or another day? A: yes that evening

4) McCoy asks about deposition where Rose responds to question about why he was going to Doe's home at 3am A: “I said we men. U can assume..."

5) Rose testifies about alleged rape: "in my mind she consented. She consented every time we had sex so why wouldn't she that one time?"

6) Rose started to testify about alleged rape, but didn’t get up to the actual incident. “She told us one at a time”

7) Asked what Doe's alleged statement, "one at a time meant" Rose said: ”for a guy its kind alike wait your turn”

Rose said childhood pal Ryan Allen went in first into Doe's bedroom and he and another pal Randall Hampton waited on the couch.

He may not be guilty, but this is a pr disaster for him

yikes

might as well just make the DRose7 the SwaggyP1.

 

[jamesandstl]

Wow. That's crazy. I read an article about the texts or whatever the other day and they were having a mistrial or whatever . You are right dude, the public perception at this point can't be good. I'm not saying he is guilty or innocent, but this just might be one of those where he is now "associated" with rape. Adidas has some other names and up and comers, maybe this is when they take the chance to sever ties and start looking to the future

 

[delajsr]

Is there a clause in the adidas contract that breaks it because of something like this? I know Adidas was with Kobe during his scandal at least for awhile.

case just gets weirder

An LAPD Officer Investigating Derrick Rose Died After Being Found In Her Home With A Gunshot Wound

Definitely getting weird. I'm officially holding off on buying any other Rose 7s. I'm having a hard time buying shoes with him as an endorser.

 

[The_Isomotion31]

The 7s seem like a good performance shoe for what I am looking for. I am hoping that these may start dropping in price fast with the PR nightmare going on.

anyone else not seeing the primeknit white/black online?

FTL launch locator shows only east coast stores getting them

searching the internet but nothing

all other colorways (inlcuding chicago away) released on time. but this..... 

 

[chris258]

what means?

 

[05fordgt]

what means?

It's a collab with Sneakersnstuff.com. color has me intrigued. Wonder when they will show them on the site?

 

[chris258]

photo anywhere? 

 

[thapointguy]

Yeah I'm intrigued by the SNS colorway. Just hope there isn't too much yellow. I guess it's gonna be Primeknit version?

The mesh pair is comfortable as well as the full length Boost. Traction is stellar as well. I had a problem with the heel not being flat so it felt weird(hoping it's just a defect). Aside from that, Rose 7 felt the best out of the CE and CLB. Have not tried the Primeknit so can't imagine how much more I'm gonna like them.

 

[chris258]

I am waiting a primeknit version with a continental sole. 

Just like the chicago home colorway, but can't find it  

you gonna like it more and more (PK Versiona)

same situation on the Rose 6. Very nice and good the mesh, but the primeknit version was from another planet!!!! 

 

[thapointguy]

I didn't get to try the PK Rose 6 as I didn't like the colorway. Should've tried them on regardless though.

Too bad the white/black/red PK released this weekend isn't available except at FTLs in NY.

 

[chris258]

its conirmed will not be available any time soon online or international stores? 

this colorway with primeknit (white/black/red) is the best bball shoe ever 

 

[thapointguy]

I'm not sure on a wider release. Adidas has been weird on releases for awhile. The Rose trial doesn't help it one bit either. International sites that got colorways early don't have it yet either. Just gotta be patient with adidas.

 

[chris258]

all other colorways (Rose 7) was released on date as planned! but this colorway is missing from all sites! is not either available on Adidas US website.

I will keep with my Adidas Rose 6 (best shoe ever) if not released

hope the whole serie (Rose shoes) will not be discontinued due to Rose civil problems....

I doubted it...not trying to compare players but remember when Kobe had his situation and he was married...he pulled thru

 

[redqks]

D rose isn't Kobe though

I don't know man. Kobe's name as a brand has a lot more power than D Rose in my opinion. Like if Adidas were to drop Rose, I don't think it would be as easy for Nike to pick him up like they did with Kobe.

I agree....but to me D-Rose isn't a star star...u feel me...so this will blow over...especially if he plays well

 

[redqks]

Rose stock has fallen alot , no brainier from adidas to make Harden the top athlete imo
