Here’s what else you need to know about the D-Rose 5 Boost exclusive "Lake" shoe – including where and when to buy them.
What we know so far:
In July this year, Adidas revealed three-time All-Star Derrick Roses’ new signature collection of basketball kicks: the D-Rose 5 Boost.
As part of the official release, Rose stated:
"Having the Boost cushioning in my new signature shoe makes it the most favourite [shoe of mine] that we've ever done … I've played in them for a couple months, but every time I put them on it feels like a new shoe and it's the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Now, I can't imagine playing without Boost in my shoes."

"Home" and "Brenda" were launched in Australia on 16 October 2014, however, all four will be launched in the USA on the 23 October, 2014.
Take a look at the impressive aesthetics of "Brenda" below. As always, Rose looks to the his team, the Chicago Bulls, for inspiration. With this particular version, he couples the team’s colours of light scarlet and black with a solar blue lacing to deliver a sleek shoe for the court.
Now, you’re probably thinking: but wait, two of the shoes have already been released in Australia. True, Away and Brenda were released to select Foot Locker stores (not available online) on 16 October 2014, but there’s something even more exciting for Australians than those. Adidas is about to launch an exclusive colourway called "Lake". Tripped out in Power Teal and Vivid Mint, it’s inspired by Lake Michigan and features a metallic teal leather upper with a vivid mint fit cage, finished, of course, with a D Rose logo. And it’s available, in-store (not available online) on 23 October 2014.
