Derrick Rose: "Wake Up" Behind the Scenes

Derrick Rose‘s return to the hardwood has been the focal point of the adidas Basketball campaign for the newly available adidas Rose 3. One of the most creative aspects of #thereturn has undoubtedly been the commercials adidas and Rose have created, which poignantly paint the picture that all D-Rose fans went through when the former MVP went down in the first round of the NBA Playoffs this year. The latest in the series of videos is a behind the scenes breakdown of the concept of the videos. 

 

 


adidas D Rose 3 "Chicago Fire"

adidas today unveils a new limited colorway of the D Rose 3 signature shoe. Dubbed “Chicago Fire,” the Electricity-hued shoe is inspired by Derrick Rose‘s hometown Chicago Fire Department. The upper is made of rubberized, heavy-duty synthetics reminiscent of a firefighter’s turnout coat, while the Three Stripes on the back and outsole are gray, reflecting the knee and elbow pads on their gear. The stripes on the back are reflective, while the black SPRINTFRAME is a nod to fire boots. The inside of the left tongue features the cross symbol of firefighters with the D Rose logo in the middle, and the right shoe features Rose’s lasered signature. The firefighter drop is set to hit Wednesday, October 10 for $180, and limited quantities will be available at adidas.comFoot Locker and Eastbay.

Jay-Z, Nas And Meek Mill Kick Back At NBA 2K13 Launch Party

[ video unavailable on this device ]

By Rob Markman

Jay-Z executive-produced the soundtrack for “NBA 2K13″ and he celebrated the launch in New York City Wednesday night (September 26) with a list of celebrities including Nas and Meek Mill. Meek shared a photo with the veteran rappers, proudly captioned, “Look how far we came!!!!”

Hov was on hand last night at the 40/40 Club in Manhattan to unveil “NBA 2K13,” the new basketball simulation game that he helped usher into the marketplace. Aside from overseeing the game’s soundtrack, the God MC also came up with the idea of having the iconic 1992 Olympic Dream Team in the game as well as the latest U.S. gold medalists.

“I always thought the flavor of the games were lacking,” Jay-Z told MTV News candidly as he walked the carpet at the 40/40. “I’m just gonna be honest: I felt that they cheated us on the music.”

The tracks Jay helped select for “2K13″ (in stores October 2) are hard to front on. Not only did he include Jigga favorites like “On to the Next One” and “Run This Town,” Jay also tossed an assist to Kanye West by including G.O.O.D. Music’s “Mercy” and Meek Mill and Rick Ross by including their hit “I’ma Boss.” Even onetime rivals Mobb Deep got some love, now that their 1994 classic “Shook Ones Pt. II” appears on the soundtrack.

The excitement for the release is so high that NBA stars like Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose and the Brooklyn Nets’ Brook Lopez were in attendance. Meek Mill performed and music stars like Bow Wow and Nas showed up as well. “I think music and sports go hand-in-hand, and they wouldn’t pay out to get a U2, a Coldplay, a Kanye,” Jay said of game developer 2K Sports. “I thought it was very smart of them and very open of them to come and allow us to bring the game closer to the culture. They were really cool about it.”e
