We’re assuming Derrick Rose’s rehab from knee surgery is long past the halfway point, as far as his return to checking into an NBA basketball game. Nevertheless, his adidas signature shoe is getting a midway redux with the now officially unveiled D Rose 3.5. The D. Rose 3 dropped in September 2012 but the D Rose 3.5 is touted as having “improved performance, bolder style and more personal details.”My main thing is always sharpening up my game and improving my body and with the D Rose 3.5 adidas took that same approach,” said Rose via a press statement. “This shoe takes the best things from my last shoe and made them even better. I’m more comfortable and supported on the court and bringing some real serious style too.”

Says adidas:

The synthetic leather upper features the spiral protruding from the D Rose logo on the ankle to represent how his on and off-court success continues to grow from the support of his family, who inspired the logo. Chicago call-outs on the inside of the tongue showcase the essence of Rose, including a “Rooted in Chicago” graphic with lettering, colors and shapes inspired by his tattoos and the Chicago flag. The oversized tongue features a reflective overlay of the logo to illuminate and pop on and off the court.

The issue features an in-depth interview with the rapper who spoke on his much talked about name change, breaking into the industry, and more. While speaking on his come up in the music industry 2 Chainz referred to the industry as being a zoo he’s all too familiar with.

“Those who haven’t been through that struggle don’t mind going to the zoo to pet the animals,” 2 Chainz explained. “They don’t wanna live in the zoo, but they don’t mind coming through. I’m someone who can show you around in a cool way where you don’t have to worry about getting eaten up.”

While speaking on the topic of his name change, 2 Chainz didn’t go into much detail in regards to what prompted the change, but did share that his music isn’t affected by either name.

“It wasn’t like my name made me rap better. I worked my ass off….It felt good to outdo myself and just be omnipresent and be a part of everything,” said the rapper.

The Source’s “Man Of The Year” issue featuring 2 Chainz  hits newsstands on December 4.
