Not only will Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose be making his second NBA All-Star appearance in Los Angeles later this month, he’ll be an Eastern Conference starter for the first time in what is sure to be a highly decorated career. At the ripe age of 22, Rose has led the Bulls to their best season start since the Jordan/Pippen Era, and has earned some league MVP consideration in the process.

To celebrate Rose’s All-Star nod, adidas Basketball is using the star-studded platform as an opportunity to showcase both of Derrick’s signature shoes. For the first half of the game, he’ll wear a special colorway of the shoe he’s worn throughout the season, the adiZero Rose. Perhaps a salute to D-Rose’s high school days at Simeon Career Academy in Chicago, the shoe is done mostly in yellow, with hits of blue accenting the look throughout.

You can purchase the “All-Star” colorway of the adiZero Rose at Eastbay today.
