Adidas Philippines launched last week at the Moro Lorenzo Gym of Ateneo De Manila University of the newest basketball shoes to rock the market this 2012. Basketball stars (JC Intal, Ronnie Magsanoc, Ryan Gregorio), celebrities (Andrei Felix), famous DJs (Rico Robles, Nikko Ramos aka DJ Tyler) and members of the press attended the event to see what is the buzz about the newest adiZero Rose 2.5. Aside from that, we also played a friendly basketball match to really test the shoes at competition level.

In terms of the shoes, it weighs even lighter than your average soda at 11 ounces. The adiZero 2.5 is the fourth signature shoe made especially for MVP Derrick Rose. The newest shoe can give any player the next level of speed and support. The adiZero Rose 2.5 is the lightest mid-cut signature basketball shoe Derrick has ever worn. Here are some high-level specs of it as well:

- Signature Details - The adizero Rose 2.5 features a top down Google Earth view of Derrick’s Englewood roots embossed into the toe box and upper. The map view is a continuation of the “Cleared for Take-Off” theme of the Rose 2 and represents a view from high above. Signature details include “ROSE” on the tongue and three stripes branding on the back of the shoe to emphasize his speed on the court. The sockliner features an infrared color and Derrick’s signature as a nod to his motivation and inspired play on the court. Derrick’s jersey number “1” is also featured on toe.
- Upper - Inspired by the adiZero Crazy Light, it features a premium SPRINTFRAME execution and enlarged SPRINTWEB area to reduce weight, add support and allow maximum motion control. The GEOFIT memory foam collar provides optimum comfort and fit.
- Outsole - Uses adiZero Crazy Light outsole traction system and has varied engineered thickness to ensure maximum grip in high wear perimeter zones, and less thickness and weight in low perimeter zones like the midfoot

VERDICT: RECOMMENDED! I got the white variant of the shoes and I must say that I really like it. I love the design even the black variant is also great. I also like its mid-cut especially for me who is not that tall. I can also wear it even outside of the hard court and still be stylish with its great design and color combination. In terms of performance, given its "very" light weight one can really feel the difference in terms of speed when using the shoes. I also like the shoes as it is very comfortable and not that heavy or tight. Aside from that, it would really be best to couple it with the miCoach SPEED_CELL to measure your performance improvements. I think its great that adidas innovated to make their basketball shoes home of their SPEED_CELL and not only for running. If you have the money, you can buy both Home and Away look just like D. Rose.
