Last season, Derrick Rose<\/strong> made the tough decision to rest up and return at full strength for the 2013-14 start. Revitalized and rejuvenated, the Chicago Bulls point guard is back and ready to lead his team and inspire his city. He’ll do both in the new adidas D Rose 4<\/strong>. Designed for his explosive game and denoted by his signature logo, the silo marks a new chapter in the MVP award winner’s career. We caught up with Derrick Rose to discuss his new shoes, playing for his city and what to expect this season.<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: How excited are you to get back out there?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> I’m excited. I’m really excited just to be back on the court. For me to actually launch my shoe and play in it days after is a great feeling.<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Sitting out last season, what was it like seeing your signature shoe represented by your peers in the NBA and college game?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> It was a great feeling. Indiana University wore it, so did Baylor and some kids on Wisconsin. Just to see that movement and seeing how far I came – I remember not even having a signature shoe. For this being my fourth model, it’s a blessing to be in the position that I’m in and I’m just trying to take full advantage of it. It’s a movement right now. I’ve got a little following right now, but it’s slowly getting bigger. My partner adidas and I are moving in the right direction where both of us are really trying to compete for that number one spot.<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Conversely, what’s it like seeing fans wear your shoes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> It’s unreal. When I was younger, I wasn’t able to afford two pair of shoes, so the shoes I played in were the same shoes I wore to school. For me, I wanted to have the same thing so that kids dealing with poverty could have a nice product that you could wear to the club, you could wear to a meeting, just any environment anywhere, and you could still go out there and play in it. And it’s a great shoe with premium materials. I think we’re moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: What input do you put into your signature shoe line?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> I talk to the team at adidas almost every other month about things that change in my life – new things that I like and new things that I dislike – and they actually put that into the shoe. Then, the shoes that they come up with they give to me as a [sample] and I tell them the things that I don’t like and they come back a month later with everything the exact way that I want it. All the shoes that come out are actually the shoes that I wanted out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: This shoe sees your personal logo featured more prominently than ever. What does the D Rose logo mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> I think it’s special for my mom and my brothers because it’s really a family logo. Almost everyone in the world has a family. For someone to get my shoe and actually know where I came from and know my story they can just feel it. It’s honest. It’s family first with me and I just try to put my family out there like anyone else would.<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Second to your family is the city of Chicago. Growing up you’ve said that Michael Jordan was a hero to you and that you admired the impact he had on the city. What does it mean to you to play for your home city?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> It’s kind of like a second coming where the city is starting to get that buzz back again like when MJ was playing. Everybody’s coming to the games and everybody’s tuning in. The only thing to change now is that when Mike was playing there wasn’t any crime. Whenever the Bulls came on, crime went down probably 50 to 60 percent. I’m just trying to get that status so that whenever the Bulls come on there’s no crime, everybody’s in a positive mindset and train of thought, just tuned in to what we’re doing. I think that the guys on the team are working hard to impress a lot of people here in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Speaking of your teammates, we saw more players on the Bulls roster wearing adidas last season. Can we expect more of the same this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> Out of the starting five I think there’s gonna be three players out there in adidas. I remember being on the team and I was the only guy on adidas. To have other teammates not just rocking my shoe, but rocking adidas period, feels good.<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Fast forward to your first game back. What music will be on in your headphones before that first tip off?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> Right now, the Drake CD leaked so I’m listening to it. [Laughs]\u00a0I’m gonna buy it, but I’m listening to his CD right now. I’m also listening to Big Sean right now. I was listening to Big Sean and J Cole when I was just on tour in Asia. Between those three, they’re gonna be in rotation.<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Off court, we saw your first lifestyle collaboration with the Jeremy Scott x adidas D Rose 3.5. What was that experience like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> That’s another blessing. For a basketball player to even tap into that market of fashion, and especially an icon like Jeremy Scott? C’mon, man. My first time ever meeting him was after the shoe came out. For me to meet him after the shoe came out and see how big the buzz got was great. Taking pictures with him and talking with him about how he designed the shoe was a nice conversation.<\/p>\n

Snkrs Day: Lastly, what can fans of our Kicks On Court<\/em> column expect from you this season?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Derrick Rose:<\/strong> It’s gonna be an exciting year. I hope they tune in. Trust me, I’ve got some crazy looking shoes coming out in the future.<\/p>\n
