While NBA baller Derrick Rose continues his road to recovery after a torn ACL, he's making some serious business moves off the court. He already signed a $250 mill, 14 year deal with Adidas, and now his newest shoe and apparel were just revealed today.
Check the pics and deets inside, plus his new pizza investment, and get a look at the new Brooklyn Nets court...
Derrick Rose was on hand today in his hometown of Chicago to unveil his newest shoe--The D Rose 3 Signature Collection. The baller says it's his most personal shoe to date as he's has to rebuild his body and mindset to make this quick of a recovery, so he re-designed his logo as well.
He broke down into tears at today's press conference talking about the love for his city and the people in it, and despite all the struggles of violence and strikes the city is going through, they still support D Rose through it all.
"The D Rose 3 signature collection is special to me because I worked side-by-side with adidas on everything from materials to fit to colors to make it the best we've done yet," said Rose. "I love the new logo that calls out the most important things to me: my family, basketball and the city of Chicago."
Not only does he have a new shoe (dropping October 4th) and apparel, but he just invested his time and image into Chicago's yummy pizza chain magnate Giordano's. The baller is a new equity partner and will be doing non-Bulls related ad campaigns for the company, location visits, and will even mix up his own namesake pizza:
"I've always been a big fan of their stuffed pizzas," said Rose. "I'm working right now on my own signature pizza that we plan to introduce very soon. I'm actually pretty good in the kitchen."
