Derrick Rose is currently enjoying retirement, but he’s still part of the fabric over at adidas. After playing a role in introducing Jerry Lorenzo’s adidas x Fear Of God Athletics II Basketball to the masses, it appears the revered former MVP is getting rewarded for his efforts.

Lorenzo just unveiled a “Derrick Rose” II Basketball sample on Instagram, complete with D-Rose’s logo on the heel, tasteful pops of Chicago-esque red, and even an accompanying ankle brace. The Fear Of God founder hasn’t confirmed whether these are PE or meant to release publicly, but unfortunately for Rose’s considerable fanbase, the former seems more likely.
