Derrick Rose may be retired from the court, but he’s still making plays in the world of sneakers. During the Chicago White Sox 2025 season opener, the former MVP threw out the ceremonial first pitch — all while debuting his upcoming adidas Fear of God Athletics II Basketball sneaker.

This collaborative design features a sleek and minimal look, consistent with Jerry Lorenzo’s Fear of God design language. The pair showcases a black suede upper, grey monofilament mesh side panels, and sits on a cream-colored Lightstrike midsole. Rose’s signature logo appears on the heel alongside a bold red “Fear of God” badge, adding a statement finish. Matching red laces tie the look together.

As a longtime member of the adidas family, Derrick Rose’s presence in this rollout reinforces his legacy both on and off the hardwood. Since his first Fear of God Basketball appearance last December, this marks a key moment ahead of the shoe’s official launch.
