The D Rose 5 Boost is the ultimate signature shoe to outfit Derrick Rose on and off the court. It features adidas’ most innovative technology and the most personal details ever included on a shoe in the D Rose signature collection.
The D Rose 5 Boost offers full shoe length Boost cushioning technology designed for heightened energy return and step-in comfort to ensure maximum performance.
Boost features an industry-first cushioning technology unlike any other foam in basketball.
Thousands of capsules make up Boost, providing soft, lightweight cushioning that helps store and release energy efficiently.
First introduced in running shoes in 2013, Boost has since been recognized as the best cushioning in the industry. The Boost innovation outperformed more than 800 shoes tested by Runner’s World before making its way to the court.
Boost cushioning helps players through the fourth quarter with an ideal combination of energy return, responsiveness and comfort.
Signature details are woven throughout the design reveal details about Derrick, his family and his path to success.
The ankle support features unique personal inscriptions including:
- “R.A.D.” – stands for his brothers, Reggie, Allen and Dwayne, who helped raise Derrick, giving him the opportunity to play basketball undeterred
- “Not supposed to be here” – quote Derrick gave at a press conference for the launch of the D Rose 3 where he spoke on how he defied the odds to be a successful NBA player
- “No Freshman” – represents the rule at his high school where freshman weren’t allowed to play on the varsity basketball team
- “Everybody Eats” – his desire to uplift those in his circle and from his neighborhood of Englewood
- “1.7%” – the odds that the Chicago Bulls had to land the first overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft, which they used to select
Personal details of the D Rose 5 Boost continue with the toe of each shoe featuring the name of his mother, Brenda, and his son, PJ.
The D Rose 5 Boost launches in the Philippines on October 16 for PHP 7995.
