Rose 3 (Chicago Fire)

The newest color way of the Rose 3 is the electricity color way which is called the "Chicago Fire" to pay respect to the Chicago Fire Department. Because of the color of the CFD's fire uniforms, Derrick Rose and Adidas made the shoe the same color. On the tongue of the left shoe on the inside, there is the CFD logo and on the inside of the right tongue there is Derrick Rose's signature. Like all the other Rose 3 colorways, the new D Rose logo is featured on both tongues. This shoe retails for 180.00 which is $20.00 more than the 2 other colorways.

Adidas Rose 3 (grey)

As a continuation of the rose 2.5, Adidas and Derrick Rose have recently released the Rose 3. As you might have noticed the Rose 3 is no longer and Adizero shoe. Another change involving the Rose 3 is that it is featured in Derrick Roses new line and not just adidas. The Rose 3 has the new logo on the tongue which includes 3 rose petals and a D in the middle. Instead of the same grip that we have seen on the Rose 2.5, the crazy light, and the crazy light 2, Adidas went with a new grip for the Rose 3. Another change from the previous Rose shoes are the 3 stripes are still on the back of the shoe, but changed from horizontal to vertical. Two of the things that are still the same are the geofit technology which supports your ankles and the mi coach technology. This shoe is not the lightest Adidas basketball shoe but still is very light weighing in at 12.6 oz. Look to see Derrick Rose wearing these shoes in the upcoming 2012-2013 NBA basketball season as he makes his return and comes back stronger than ever. This shoe retails for $160.00.

Rose 773

The Rose 773 is in dedication of Derrick Rose's childhood hometown in Chicago and 773 was his area code. As everyone knows by know, Adidas has been recently known for light basketball shoes for Derrick Rose and Basketball players sponsored by Adidas. The Rose 773 weighs in at 11.7 ounces. Like the earlier Adidas shoes such as the crazy light, crazy light 2, and Adizero Rose 2.5, the Rose 773 also includes "SPRINTWEB" technology which not only makes the shoe light but also durable. One of my personal favorite things that was featured on the Rose 2.5 was the "GEOFIT" ankle pillows which are also included on the Rose 773. Another feature on the Rose 773 is the excellent grip that has been seen on previous Adidas shoes. Derrick Rose has not played in this shoe yet. He was supposed to play in the "Gold Medal" Rose 773's, as you see in the picture above, but was not able to join the Gold Medal Winning 2012 Olympic Basketball team due to his injury of tearing his ACL in the playoffs. The Rose 773 ranges from 109.99 to 124.99.

Adizero Crazy Light 2

The Adizero Crazy Light 2 is the upgrade of the crazy light. With a slight different look, the shoe has one major difference that you can't see. The crazy light one rocked the sneaker world weighing in at 9.8 ounces. After making some slight adjustments, Adidas has made the crazy light 2 9.5 ounces. To make the shoe lighter, Adidas added there new technology "SPRINTWEB" which makes the shoe lighter but also helps the shoe to breathe. Adidas made the shoe out of synthetic leather to keep the shoe light weight but also make it durable. My personal favorite part of the Crazy Light 2 and other Adidas basketball shoes is the new grip. The grip is the best i have ever played in and last so long. The crazy light 2 retails for 140.00. The Adizero Crazy Light 2 comes in many different colorways. I personally think this is a great shoe to play ball in because of its durability and also because of its light weight.

Kevin Durant IV Galaxy Edition (All-Star)

The Kevin Durant "Galaxy Edition" is one of my favorite Nike shoes ever made because its a very detailed shoe. One of my favorite features of the KD IV is the strap because it gives you a "locked and loaded" feel and on the "Galaxy Edition" on the strap because of the Galaxy theme it says "pull for lock down" kind of like a space craft. Another part of the shoe I like is the outsole which is speckled with little dots of blue paint. Just like all the other "Galaxy Edition" shoes, inside there is the all over Galaxy print. Mostly around the shoe is silver, but there is some hints of orange. Another feature that is the same on all the Galaxy Shoes is that the bottom is glow in the dark. Nike did a very good job on the shoe and made it very detailed.

Lebron 9 Galaxy Edition ( All-Star)

The LeBron 9 is one of the most unique "Galaxy Edition" (All-Star) shoes because of its color. What Nike did this year was they made all the "Galaxy Edition" shoes with an all over Galaxy print on the shoe, but on the LeBron 9 they made it all Orange. Inside the lining, there is a Galaxy print. The reason LeBron James made his shoe Orange is in honor of Orange County, Florida. Just like the other "Galaxy Edition" shoes, there is a glow in the dark outsole. I personally like the LeBron 9 because of how supportive the shoe is. When you lace the shoe up you fell a lot of comfort and inside the shoe there is a layer of special padding that is used in Nike Pro Combat products, and it is on both side of your ankle. Nike did a very good job designing the LeBron 9.

Kobe VII Galaxy Edition ( All-Star)

During the 2012 NBA All-Star game in Orlando, Florida, all the players were wearing amazing shoes for the game in celebration of being selected including Kobe Bryant. Nike came out with a series called "Galaxy Edition" which was for the all star game. Players including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant wore the galaxy shoes. On the Kobe VII Galaxy edition all over the base of the shoe there is a galaxy image. The heel clip and mid sole os all black. Inside the shoe there is all so galaxy print. The heel of the shoe is all black and the outsole is all glow in the dark. I'm a big fan of Kobe and his shoes and out of all the "Galaxy Editions", i think Nike did the best job on the Kobe VII.

Adizero Rose 2.5 (All-Star Edition)

Adidas went big for their boy, Derrick Rose hooking him up with the newest Adizero Rose 2.5
All-Star Edition for All-Star Weekend. Derrick Rose competed in a couple different events and on the final day of All-Star Weekend when he played in the All-Star Game, he played in the Adizero Rose 2.5 in all orange representing Orange County,Florida. Like i said the the Adizero Rose 2.5 review, the shoes are great and i like them because of the sprint web and the great traction on the court. SHOUT OUT TO ADIDAS AND DERRICK ROSE

Adipower Howard 2 (All-Star Edition)

WOW! Adidas went all out for Dwight Howard. After Dwight released the Adipower Howard 2,it was time for All-Star Weekend. So Adidas gave Dwight his Adipower Howard 2 All-Star Edition shoes which were all orange to represent Orange County, Florida. Like I said in the Howard 2 review that I did, I like the shoe alot because its a light supportive high top. SHOUT OUT TO ADIDAS AND DWIGHT HOWARD.

Adizero Rose 2.5 (Black)

I'm a big fan of the Adizero series and I really like all the Rose shoes. The most recent Rose shoe is the Adizero Rose 2.5. The 2.5 is really great because its the lightest Rose yet. The shoes have sprint web technology which locks down the shoe and keeps it sturdy and light. Just like all the Rose shoes the 2.5 has the really good traction for on the court. Another thing that is just like all the Rose shoes is that they are mi coach compatible. I like the shoe alot because its a great light high top shoe with good sturdy support. SHOUT OUT TO ADIDAS.

Kevin Durant IV (White)

Kevin Durant is a very popular player and is climbing his way up to a top player in the league. He has released shoes before but the most recent shoe is the KD IV. I really like the KD IV colors. There are multiple colors such as white and blue, blue black and orange, black and white, and more. Somethings I like about the KD IV are that the shoes have Hyperfuse technology in them like alot of other Nike shoes do. Hyperfuse technology makes the shoe very light and durable. On the KD IV there is also something called flex groves which along the outside of the shoe which allow for a better range of motion. The thing i like the most on the KD IV is that it has a velcro strap right across the top of the shoe to give your foot support. I recommend the KD IV to everybody. SHOUT OUT TO NIKE.

Adizero Rose 2 (Black)

I am a big fan of Derrick Rose he finally started releasing his pro model shoe and ever since the first Adizero Rose 1, he has come out with more. I really like the Adizero technology because it makes the shoe very light. I enjoy many features on the Adizero Rose 2 such as that it is a mid top shoe. I like some high tops and some low tops but mid tops are the best because there still sort of low but it gives you great support. I also like the design on the bottom of the shoe because when your on the court your not slipping or anything because it give you great grip. Another thing is that the inside of the shoe is just really padded which always feels good in a basketball shoe. This is one of the best shoes and one of the hottest selling shoes on the market. They look great on and off the court. SHOUT OUT TO ADIDAS.

Adipower Howard 2 (White)

The Adipower Howard 2's are a very good continuation from the Howard 1's. I like the Howard 2 alot because 3 stripes on each side of the shoe tighten up around your foot to keep your feet snug and gove you alot of support. Like other Adidas shoes this shoe is part of the Mi Coach technology. Somethings I like about the Howard 2 is that Dwight Howard made this shoe to fit him. For example, on the sides of the shoe and on the bottom there is shattered glass which he said in his personal review of the shoe that the shattered glass will give you power to shatter the backboard. I usually don't like high tops i really enjoy these shoes. SHOUT OUT to ADIDAS for doing a great job on the ADIPOWER HOWARD 2's.

Kobe VII (Christmas Day)

I love the KOBE VII Christmas day shoes. Everybody is talking bad about the colors but I personally like them. I've been a Kobe and NBA fan all my life and my favorite time of the NBA season is Christmas because I Love seeing all the different Christmas Day shoes in the league. This year my favorite Christmas shoes were the KOBE VII. I like them because there so unique and you never see a shoe like that. One of my favorite things about the KOBE VII is that there low top. I like some high top shoes but I love playing in low tops. The reason KOBE VII are great is because you can play in a low top but still have support with the new KOBE SYSTEM which you can buy at mid or low. This shoe also has the Nike Zoom cushioning and has the Flywire technology which makes it light. Another thing like about the shoe is that it is stylish off and on the court. This shoe has come out in a couple of different color choices such as black and yellow, black and grey, purple and yellow, The KOBE Shark which is blue and black, and The Christmas day which is the hardest to find. I recommend the KOBE VII to everybody. SHOUT OUT TO NIKE.

LeBron 9 (Miami Nights)

The Miami Nights are personally my favorite colorway that has been released so far. The LeBron 9's are really unique because they are the first shoe I believe to have Hyperfuse and Flywire technology. I like the LeBron 9's alot because having Flywire and Hyperfuse Technology it makes the shoe a light durable shoe and at the same time gives you a supportive lockdown control. I was never really a big fan of the air at the bottom of previous Nike shoes but I really like it on the LeBron 9's. It gives the shoe a cushion and makes the shoe look and feel very nice. SHOUT OUT TO NIKE.

Nike Hyperdunk 2011 (Blue)

The Nike Hyperdunk 2011 is similar to the Hyperfuse 2011. The Hyperdunk is made with Flywire technology which a lot of Nike shoes are recently being made with.The Flywire technology makes the shoe very light but also still supportive. The positives for this shoe is that it has a very good traction for on the court and is made in many team colors. Along with the Hyperfuse 2011's, this shoe is one of the top sellers.What i like about this shoe that Nike did is they made the 2011's much better than the 2010 Hyperdunks. The only negative about the shoe is that they are slightly small at the width but is still a great shoe.

Nike Hyperfuse 2011 (Blue)

The Nike Hyperfuse 2011 is a very sturdy and light shoe. The shoe is made with Hyperfuse technology which makes the shoe very light and helps the shoe to breathe. The shoe comes in many different color combinations such as white with black, white with blue, all purple, all black, all white etc. I personally like the shoe because it is very light but supportive. I also like the Hyperfuse because it's a high top but not to high. I've played in shoes that are to high and are annoying to play in but these are a perfect height. These shoes are a great buy and I would suggest getting them. SHOUT OUT TO NIKE
