Kicks On Court: Rose Revisits Signature Sneaker to Finish Off Pacers

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our disclosure policy.

Derrick Rose, along with a slew of other adidas Brand members, have been rocking the newly-designed adiZero Crazy Light throughout the first round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs. However, the front runner for this year’s MVP award switched his sneaker, once again, for the fifth and final game of the Indiana Pacers vs Chicago Bulls series. In detail, Derrick Rose brought his signature adidas adiZero Rose 1.5 back to the court and closed the Pacers out for good. Prior to this game, our Kicks On Court column had spotted Rose in the adidas adiZero Crazy Light in every game of this series. We do not know if Rose’s ankle injury motivated him to switch back to his signature sneaker, but returning to the Rose 1.5 raises a few eyebrows in this observation. View these kicks plus more, worn by Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, Lamar Odom and others, below.
