KANYE West just dumped a massive preview of all the Yeezys that are dropping soon. But the one that undoubtedly got the most attention was the YZY D ROSE.
Yup, that’s D Rose as in Derrick Rose.
The rapper and designer’s collab with the current Pistons guard has yielded a unibody construction that’s certainly… something. In Kanye West’s picture, it looks like the ribbed-for-pleasure version of the Yeezy Foam Runners.
“YZY D ROSE coming soon,” tweeted Kanye. Release dates and prices are still forthcoming from adidas.
A few hours later, Rose’s wife Alaina took a sample out for a leisurely walk around her front yard and posted some pictures on Instagram.
At the time the sneakers were teased on Twitter, the internet had a field day with the D Roses. Netizens were alternately baffled and amused by the otherworldly design. Check out the best ones below.
Still, Twitter reactions are just that — reactions. The sales are the proof in the pudding. The Foam Runners were the Twitterati laughingstock on the day of release late June, but still managed to sell out its first run.
Will the same thing happen to the YZY D ROSE?
