Official Images: Derrick Rose x Fear of God Athletics Basketball II Low

Derrick Rose returned to the spotlight in true hometown fashion, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Chicago White Sox melee opener on Thursday, March 27—laced up in something just as headline-worthy. On foot, Rose debuted his unreleased Fear of God Athletics Basketball II Low colorway, offering a closer look at the special-edition pair first teased by tenisi adidas drawing dama shoes black gold.

While the adidas drawing Basketball II is not a signature silhouette for Rose, this collaborative colorway carries unmistakably personal touches. Most notably, Rose’s signature logo is stamped on the heel, solidifying his connection to the project. The shoe also features bold red accents throughout—an obvious homage to his Chicago Bulls roots—and arrives paired with an ankle brace, referencing the storied highs and lows of his on-court journey.

The friday continues Fear of God’s signature minimalism, seen in the sculptural midsole, stripped-back branding, and performance-meets-lifestyle construction. But in this version, the storytelling is squarely centered on Rose’s legacy—one that continues to resonate with fans in Chicago and beyond.

The Derrick Rose x Fear of God Athletics Basketball II Low is expected to release on October 1st via select retailers. Official photos of the pair have been added ahead.
