Adidas Prepares to Drop the D. Rose 3.5 “Year of the Snake” Edition Posted by Ru Porter on 01/18/13 | Filed under Style, Sneakers, Reebok

Since the Chinese New Year is right around the corner on February 10, Adidas unveiled a new colorway of the D Rose 3.5 signature shoe. Dubbed, “Year of the Snake”, it features a black synthetic SPRINTWEB upper with a textured, scale pattern to represent a snake’s detailed skin.

The use of chrome SPRINTFRAME metallic gold is emphasized so the kicks stand out on court. The iced outsole and the laces, toebox and liner feature a turquoise contrast to represent water, the key element for 2013 Chinese New Year, while the inside tongue patch features black, gold and turquoise colors surrounding the D Rose logo in various shapes designed to represent the spiral inspiration of the sneaker.

Available at Adidas Basketball, the D Rose 3.5 “Year of the Snake” edition drops January 24 for $160. Follow @AdidasHoops for the next exclusive colorway debut.
