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.
