The adidas D Rose 4.5, released in 2013, is the lightest D Rose sneaker to date. Its design was inspired by Derrick Rose's animal instincts on the basketball court. The sneaker boasts a premium leather upper with a lace-up closure, providing extra support through the incorporation of SprintWeb and SprintSkin technology. Additionally, it features an asymmetrical collar for enhanced comfort. The metallic colorway showcases a blend of prints that symbolize the world's fastest animals, paying homage to Rose's unique playing style. To further represent the athlete, his iconic 'D ROSE' logo can be found on the lace dubraes, collar, and tongue of the sneaker.
