Although retired, Derrick Rose remains a cornerstone of the adidas family, recently lending his legacy to the unveiling of Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God Athletics II Basketball line. In recognition of Rose’s contributions, Lorenzo took to Instagram to showcase a Derrick Rose x adidas Fear of God Athletics II Basketball Sample.

This design perfectly fuses Rose’s basketball heritage with Lorenzo’s modern aesthetic. The sneaker features Rose’s signature logo prominently on the heel, a tribute to his enduring influence on the game. Chicago-inspired red accents pay homage to Rose’s roots, while an integrated ankle brace highlights a performance-oriented focus—an essential nod to Rose’s career-long battle with injuries.

While fans are eager to see this sneaker on shelves, it’s currently unclear if it will receive a public release. Based on its design and Lorenzo’s reveal, this model appears more likely to be a player-exclusive (PE) rather than a commercial drop.

This sample underscores the mutual respect between adidas, Derrick Rose, and Jerry Lorenzo, blending athletic innovation with lifestyle appeal. Whether or not this sneaker hits the market, it serves as a testament to Rose’s lasting impact on both basketball and the adidas brand. Stay tuned for updates as details unfold.
