Derrick Rose was born and bred in Chicago, and has the city’s basketball fans more excited than they’ve been since the late ’90s.  A metropolis full of super fans is pulling for the young point guard as he recovers from a catastrophic knee injury last spring, and hope that as the lowtop cut of his third Three Stripes signature arrives for the next one, that their 1′s return won’t be too far behind.  This adidas Rose 3 Low keeps things straightforward with a shout out to ‘The Chi’ on the inner tongue; how do they compare to the more subdued beige and soft blue style we showed you earlier?  Stick with Sneaker News for updates and speak your mind with a Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 comment after the jump.

But perhaps the most impressive part of this event was the spread of Kobe classics lined up on a table; it starts with some of his earliest models like the Nike Air Zoom Kobe 1 of 2006 and ends with the most recent Kobe VII, so check out the sick display of rare Player Exclusives and Samples below and let us know what your favorite Kobe shoe is!
