Rose 3 'Scarlet'

In November 2012, adidas and Derrick Rose paid tribute to the athlete's mother, Brenda, with a special-edition Rose 3 draped in her favorite color. The sneaker's Scarlet leather upper features a crackled finish to symbolize the player's childhood neighborhood of Englewood, Chicago. Narrative elements include her name in script and a family story graphic under the tongue. A Sprintframe heel counter, cushioned midsole and herringbone rubber outsole provide support and stability.
