Adidas D Rose 9 Review
Pros:
Well-balanced cushioning
Cons:
Horrible traction on dusty courts
Wide and loose fit
Performance of the Adidas D Rose 9:
Compared to previous models, the on-court performance of the D Rose 9 is disappointing. The narrow traction pattern picks up a lot of dust and requires wiping after almost every play. Adidas decided to replace the Boost cushioning with the cheaper (but very well-performing!) Bounce technology. The materials look nice but might be a little too soft for a performance shoe. The most problematic part of the D Rose 9 is the very wide and loose fit that doesn't provide the lockdown and containment needed for quick cuts and crossovers.

I would not recommend this shoe for $140. The traction is pretty bad and the fit didn't work for me.

The D Rose 9 is a solid performer, but there are better performers at a more affordable price out there.

We loved the cushioning! Unfortunately, the traction is lackluster and the fit works only for players with very wide feet.

If you require traction and lockdown from your basketball shoes you need to look elsewhere. You should only get the D Rose 9 if you are a stationary shooter, you don't rely on quickness and you like the look and casual appeal of the D Rose 9.

On a clean court, the traction is decent. But the lines of the traction pattern are really close together and attract a on of dust.

Low-to-the-ground feeling in the forefoot and thicker cushioning in the rear. I would have liked a little more bounce in the forefoot, but I can't really complain.

The Bounce cushioning offers great court feel and the impact protection is fine - I just didn't fall in love with it.

The fit was way too big in my regular 10.5. Combine this, with the soft knit and roomy toe box and my feet were swimming inside the D Rose 9.
