ADIZERO ROSE 2.5 SHOES [Performance Review]


"D-Rose's game is only climbing higher, and these men's adizero Rose 2.5 Away basketball shoes by adidas are going with him. This is the fourth signature shoe made for the MVP. They have a lightweight synthetic leather upper, sprint frame support and EVA cushioning for the landing. The upper is embossed with an aerial map of Derrick’s home neighborhood and signature details include his jersey number on the toe & ROSE logo on the tongue."  - Addidas

FIT 7/10
Has to be broken in, because of EVA Midsole, shoe feels harder and stiffer, but once broken in cannot notice.
Shoe has to be tightened to get snug fit.
True size

Cushioning 8/10
High grade, injection-molded EVA ensures the most lightweight midsole because of the consistent density. Equipped with torsion system. Stiff feel until shoe is fully broken in, but once so shoe feels good.

Traction 6/10
High traction rubber outsole features a multi-level cross section that increases surface area and helps limit dust build up.
Traction has to be broken in. first couple of games, I had some trouble, especially since the court was poorly maintained, but once traction broke in i got much better response. on a clean court shoe was amazing in regards to traction.


Durability 6/10
Shoe began to wrinkle after approximately 10 full court games. This also is because of the increased breathability web design and light weight features, will cause shoe to wrinkle faster. 

Breath-ability 10/10
Web design made for great breathability unlike any other shoe on themarket.

Responsiveness 8/10
A few times I actually lost my footing, in situations in which I normally wouldn’t when traditionally playing in my Jordan Fly wade 2's, but once shoe broke in, responded much better

Ankle support 8/10
I had to really tighten the shoe to get a good snug feel, but once I did shoe felt good around my ankles.

Overall 7.5/10
 For quick guards and combo forwards this shoe is great for the baller looking for a well balanced shoe. At $110 us, you get a good bang for your buck, and Adidas i feel is going in the right direction l with Roses line.
