Derrick Rose will have his jersey retired by the Chicago Bulls later in January, and Adidas has made a sneaker for the occasion that will be exclusive to the Windy City.
The Adidas Adizero Rose 1 “Retirement Ceremony” uses his first signature sneaker to commemorate his jersey going into the rafters of the United Center. It makes use of the original, team-friendly black and red colorway and adds a special insole graphic featuring a hand rising from behind the Adidas logo to hold up a rose, as well as the date for the retirement ceremony, Jan. 24, 2026.
Last week, Bulls guard Dalen Terry warmed up for a game in the very same shoe to honor Rose.
