THE II BASKETBALL DERRICK ROSE PE


Fear of God introduces the Fear of God Athletics II Basketball Derrick Rose PE. Designed in collaboration with Derrick Rose, the release honors his legacy with adidas and his impact on the city of Chicago.

“What can you not say about D-Rose? He is the living example of everything Fear of God strives to be - graceful, honest, powerful, and elegantly humble through both the wins and the losses. He is the unanimous People’s Champ, representing a fearless conviction in a purpose bigger than himself. He represents the South Side of Chicago, a community and a place in professional sports that is often overlooked, and home to the city’s second team, the White Sox, whom my dad managed. His life is one that defied the odds, and even in the shadow of a Bulls dynasty, he showed that by being yourself and bringing your own unique gifts to the game, the city would make room and celebrate you just as much. In doing so, he became a more hopeful and aspirational symbol for a city that sees itself in the underdog. I’m beyond humbled to play a small part in his eternal legacy, one that, to me, is just beginning.” - Jerry Lorenzo
