Adidas Release Dates December 2013: Rose 4 "Bulls", Crazy 8 "Brooklyn Nets", Mutombo Signature Shoe Coming Out
Adidas took another marketing blow after the face of their basketball products, Derrick Rose, went down with another season-ending knee injury last week, but the recent setback won't stop them from releasing excellent shoes in the sneaker market.
Adidas Rose 4 "Chicago Bulls Home"
One of the shoes that is scheduled to hit the market this month is the newest colorway of the Adidas Rose 4 -- the Neon Iron Metallic/Light Scarlet-Black that is scheduled to hit the market on Thursday, as posted by solecollector.
This edition of the DRose signature is dubbed the "Chicago Bulls Home" edition of the shoe. It features a grey-based upper part though, which is not a part of the team color of the Bulls. Each pair of this metallic-looking edition of the Rose 4 will retail at $140.
Adidas Crazy 8 "Brooklyn Nets"
Adidas will also release a specialized Brooklyn Nets-inspired edition of the Crazy 8, which was reportedly made to celebrate the partnership of Adidas with the Nets and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The Adidas Crazy 8 "Brooklyn Nets", which features the black and white team color of the NBA team, will be released on a limited basis on Thursday and will retail at $125 per pair.
"This black and white Crazy 8 features a subway map of the lines surrounding the Barclays Center on the sockliner, and "Brooklyn" stitched at the collar. The tongue and heel both feature Nets logos, and a herringbone details can be found throughout, inspired by the Barclays Center's court patters," solecollector posted.
Adidas Mutombo
Another shoe that is expected to catch attention on the sneaker market is the classic Adidas Mutombo, the signature shoe of former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo.
The black/white colorway of the shoe, which features the famous "55" jersey number of Mutombo and his logo, will come out on Dec. 14 with the retail price set at $105 each pair.
