Derrick Rose Shoes: Ranking all the Adidas D Rose Shoes

#2 Adidas D Rose 5 Boost

Adidas D Rose 5 Boost "Home" (white/red)

Bringing Boost to a premium basketball shoe was a great idea by Adidas. With the new D Rose range, they were able to move away from the old style Derrick Rose was sticking to and put in a bunch of great features into a pair of killer looking basketball shoes. Here is the rundown of how this move from the old to the new did.

Good:

• Like the first few Adidas D Rose shoes, this one also has impeccable traction
• The shoes are durable on both indoor and outdoor courts
• The Spin-web technology works extremely well and keeps feet from getting sweaty and moist
• The bounce provided by the midsole offers lots of comfort
• The hell support provided by TPU makes the sole very comfortable

Bad:

• The uppers of the shoes remain stiff even after it is broken into
• The shoes lack arch support
• The material creases and scratches quickly
• The shoelaces are not durable whatsoever

At the end of the day, other than the shoelaces the Adidas D Rose 5 are definitely a good purchase to make that will last a few seasons. These shoes are packed with premium Adidas technology but are still offered at a much lower price than their competitors.
