Every year, the City of Chicago, celebrates St. Patrick’s Day by dyeing the Chicago River green, a visual honoring the city’s Irish heritage. This year, adidas is doing the same, by dyeing the adidas adiZero Rose 1.5, green for Derrick Rose, hoping luck, will help push the Bulls pass, (ironically) the Boston Celtics, as the Eastern Conference’s top team.
The adidas adiZero Rose 1.5 “St. Patrick’s Day” shoe, features a two-tone green SprintSkin upper set above a white outsole and toe box. Derrick Rose’s penmanship can be seen, displayed above the three bright green stripes that palms the shock-deflecting decoupled heel. Bright green can also be found on the tongue, upper lace eyelets, and contrast stitching. The magic eye graphic on the tongue, a play on Derrick’s Poohdini nickname, reveals a 4-leaf clover. Topping them off, the insoles features a shamrock displaying the date “06 26 2008″, the day Derrick Rose was drafted number 1 overall by the Chicago Bulls. Look for these special edition signatures, to debut on St. Patrick’s Day, when the Chicago Bulls hit the road against the New Jersey Nets on March 17th.
