adidas adiZero Rose 2.0 “Windy City”

Chinese exclusives and debut colorways always cause a stir. Is the adidas adiZero Rose 2.0 “Windy City” both? While the latest D-Rose signature has been seen before, this makeup looks to be the most official unveiling of the model yet. A red Sprintweb upper shows Crazy Light inspiration with backing from a black heel piece and ankle strap. Light blue laces and accents prove eye catching while an “All Flights Cancelled” theme plays on the tongue and insoles. NiceKicks

KICKS ON THE COURT: Bulls vs. Heat Eastern Conference Finals: Game 5

Miami’s two biggest stars played like it Thursday night, scoring all but two of the Heat’s points in an 18-3 run that turned a 12-point deficit late in the fourth quarter into an 83-80 victory and a spot in the NBA finals. They combined for 22 points in the final period—the rest of the Heat had four—and were merciless defensively on Derrick Rose, including James’ block of the MVP’s last-ditch shot. The NBA Finals starts Tuesday. Dallas Mavericks vs Miami Heat.
