If you were hoping to grab the latest signature shoe from Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose before the 2015-16 season starts, you're in luck. Adidas and Rose launched the Rose 6 shoes and announced two color styles that will be coming out in the next couple months. Adidas will make the "Home" colorway available on October 15, and the "Road" colorway will come out on November 5.

Adidas explains the connection between Rose as a person and player to what they set out to accomplish with the sixth version of his signature shoe:

The D Rose 6 comes equipped with forefoot and heel Boost cushioning engineered for basketball movements to ensure energy return and comfort. The bold, rugged FITFRAME heel cage and straps are constructed to deliver an adaptive fit and represent his countless hours spent in the gym. A herringbone traction pattern, inspired by woodgrain textures and design, adds optimum grip for drives to the basket.

Blending details inspired by the city of Chicago with premium materials for a luxury finish, the D Rose 6 features the six-point star of the Chicago flag at the base of the laces and six reflective lines in the heel. The silhouette’s diamond pattern upper and faceted eyelets call on the sharp, bold architecture of the city with a rugged feel to match Rose’s play.

“Derrick is in a different place than he was a few years ago and we wanted to create a shoe that shares his focus to bring a championship home,” said Brian Foresta, vice president of Global Design, adidas Basketball. “Our close work with Derrick allowed us to design a shoe that reflects his journey and helps build his game.”

This is the second Rose shoe that will feature the Boost technology, which Rose says returns a lot of energy to his body during movement.
