Adidas didn’t cancel D Rose line, D Rose had a lifetime contact where they had to release a signature shoe every year while he was in the league. 2024-2025 is the first season adidas doesn’t have to release a D Rose sneaker
I’ll definitely do that whenever they end (hopefully not any time soon) but maybe I’ll also do a history of sneaker lines that haven’t been cancelled yet too
There were TY2s at every Ross on all sizes and colorways for $29.99. The design was horrible; impossible to get on due to the ankle support being extra tight. You would have to size up just to get the shoe on but then there would be a lot of space on the toe box allowing the foot to slide all over the place. It was a pass every time; even at $29.99.
I go to Ross and Burlington a lot, you’re absolutely right and you can tell several people have tried it on at the store and given up, and/or returned them. Removing the laces helps but it’s still pretty uncomfortable and the boost feels fake
Yeah they really dropped the ball with the 2’s… nobody seemed to like the fit even if they liked the other features. If they aren’t even selling for $30 that’s real bad
You forgot to mention Trae young missing Christmas Day game in Madison square garden, adidas had a bunch of advertisements ready but had to cancel and had bogdan wear the shoe instead.adidas had to feel a type of way after that.
Yo! What a great video. Just watched this and the Adidas story while at work. Keep at it, man. Your videos rock. I have the Trae 2 and my brother has the 3s, and they are our least worn shoes. They look cool, imo, but Adidas really dropped the ball with those two. I hope he gets a better shoe with Jordan - let alone a shoe.
Yo thanks bro! Comments like this are what make me wanna keen creating! Yeah I agree, I rarely played in any of the pairs I had. Now I only have the Ice Trae 1’s bc I love the colorway. But overall adidas could’ve done way better especially since the other lines out rn are so good
Starbury - Stephon Marbury/ Ben Wallace Adidas Drose - Derrick Rose Reebok/Adidas - John Wall Protege - Al Harrington Adidas/Jordan- Jimmy Butler Just some interesting suggestions
Got a pair of Trae Young 2s as a birthday present. They kinda tore up the skin around my ankle in the one hoops run I’ve had with them. Haven’t touched them since. A rather strange look with that defect on top, at least the first ones were fire. How about a dive into PGs line? Still got a few from that, was such a consistently good line
Yeah the 2’s were probably the worst overall… I think the AE2’s will be different (hopefully). The AE1’s might win sneaker of the year and regardless the AE2’s will get some hype due to the success of the 1’s. As long as adidas doesn’t totally screw up the performance people will buy them for that even if they don’t look good. The performance will really determine a lot
Dope video! I actually thought the 3s were an absolute upgrade looks wise from the 2s, looks wise at least. The cushion doesn’t feel bad but I also feel the vagueness of the tech specs cushion wise didn’t help either. I also think the colorways were pretty dope with the digitized look. Definitely polarizing like the 2s. Luckily for me they ended up at Ross and copped a pair for $45 haha.
Definitely worth it for that price haha but a red flag that they ended up dropping that low… I think the 3’s are pretty fire looks wise depending on the colorway too but they just missed the mark on making them special and making the performance solid enough
@ Ohh for sure I don’t have much issues with traction but think they missed a little on that aspect and not to mention they barely marketed it. I think a fair amount of Adidas ends up at Ross with their Basketball line, but so does Nike, and more recently Under Armour (specifically the Curry Brand.)
I don't think i've seen people wearing this on the court, at least here in South East Asia, be it indoor or outdoor. and my community were invested with hoop sneakerhead (like the chinese and the japanese loves to wear their local brand - you've seen someone wearing Gordon Hayward shoes?)
I really like the Dame 7s I have, my only complaint would be that the lightning foam bottomed out but I love the way they look, though the cw I have is phenomenal (the rose city one). Also I think the Trae 3 looked dope and I almost bought them but the performance and high retail price in my country made me rethink that. I think the 2s are hideous tho
Yeah the Dame 7’s aren’t bad…just nothing too special in my opinion. The Trae 3’s had some cool colorways but yeah definitely not worth it for their poor performance
I believe you are wrong in the place you say that they cancelled the Drose line maybe you mean the main line but he got 4 shoes after 2019 or 3 3 for sure the son of chi line this year they released the Drose son of chi 3 an amazing performer that nobody talked about it
You’re right, they did continue for a while but they mostly all flew under the radar. Should’ve given those a mention but when I do an episode on his shoes ill cover that
@@HaydenJonesSneakers well most likely you we're saying about the main line that they we're charging up to 180 if you we're mentioned these line yeah you're right (I'm just saying not complaining)
4:40 Trae currently has a career record of 6-14 against the Knicks as of the date of this comment. No wonder he hates NY so much, mf can barely beat them
@@HaydenJonesSneakers They almost messed up Harden's line and Mitchell's as well. Puma lacks any direction with their strategy besides going after young players. Their initial retro-inspired designs were cool, but they did a total 180 with the weird Lamelo and Scoot sneakers.
to me the dame line is the worst, he needs a better design team, every other player models look nice well then again the drose line wasn't too good either
I think the Dame 9’s are a big step in the right direction but prior to that I was feeling a similar way… they were all similar in looks and performance but hopefully the 10’s continue the trend of the 9’s
I think most of the recent adidas releases have actually looked really good but when the Trae 1’s came out they were easily the best looking adidas hoop shoe
Valid opinion, I personally really liked the look of the 1’s but I understand not being a fan… for the post part after the 1’s I wasn’t a fan of the looks either
UPDATE! Trae Young has Signed to Jordan Brand. This doesn’t impact the story of the video but I wanted to have that here for those curious!
I thought Jordan brand only sign star players... 👀😏
Thanks for the update. That’s exciting!
@@Shaz-Dazno more diff than Luka
@@jonniebox9656no problem! I’m excited to see what happens next
Yuck
Adidas didn’t cancel D Rose line, D Rose had a lifetime contact where they had to release a signature shoe every year while he was in the league. 2024-2025 is the first season adidas doesn’t have to release a D Rose sneaker
Gotcha! Good to know I should’ve done a bit more research there but I’ll delve into it soon when I do an episode on him
great video, i'd love to see videos like this on like hardens or dons in the future!
I’ll definitely do that whenever they end (hopefully not any time soon) but maybe I’ll also do a history of sneaker lines that haven’t been cancelled yet too
CP, Melo, Super Flys, but also PG and Kyrie
Maybe Dwight or some big man shoes too!!
All great recommendations! I think Kyrie might be next 👀 but not sure what after that
maan Melos shoe was lit back then
Great vid, would love one on the Nike pg line or the adidas d rose line
Those are definitely in the works 👀

I really enjoyed this, looking forward to see more sneaker history
Glad you enjoyed bro! More coming soon!
You forgot to mention Trae young missing Christmas Day game in Madison square garden, adidas had a bunch of advertisements ready but had to cancel and had bogdan wear the shoe instead.adidas had to feel a type of way after that.
Yeah that’s true haha I should’ve included that… definitely was a huge let down for them

Great idea for a series!
Thanks bro! It’s always been a fascination of mine so I’m excited to keep working on episodes
I still wear the trae 1s and people ask about them all the time. Design and comfort are timeless.
That combo of boost and Lightstrike is so great… definitely an underrated classic imo!
Shoes were terrible.... Were $20 in Burlington n still couldnt pull the trigger
Haha I don’t blame you, the 2’s and 3’s just fell short. If the 3’s were $20 I’d grab them but the 2’s just weren’t worth it for any price
Keep it up this a great story an video 🔥
Thank you bro! Always appreciate your support it means a lot
@HaydenJonesSneakers ofc man
Starbury - Stephon Marbury/ Ben Wallace
Adidas Drose - Derrick Rose
Reebok/Adidas - John Wall
Protege - Al Harrington
Adidas/Jordan- Jimmy Butler
Just some interesting suggestions
Thanks bro!! I’ll definitely look into doing an episode on some of these guys!
Hey I just subbed! I also hoop 5/7 times a week. Id love those Ae1's!
Thanks bro!! Best of luck man I’ll be doing lots more giveaways in the future
The Claw should be next. Jumping to new balance. Really any of them that left Jordan brand
That’s on my list! May cover some of the guys who had their own signature sneaker first before I get to him but I will eventually
Got a pair of Trae Young 2s as a birthday present. They kinda tore up the skin around my ankle in the one hoops run I’ve had with them. Haven’t touched them since. A rather strange look with that defect on top, at least the first ones were fire. How about a dive into PGs line? Still got a few from that, was such a consistently good line
Doing a deep dive in to Kyrie rn and PG might be next… I see a lot of people asking for that! I should be able to get that done in a month or so 👀
Drose next for sho'
Those are definitely gonna be one of my next ones 👀
The Trae young 2 was so bad it killed his line. The fit was horrendous. I have a feeling the AE will go the same way
Yeah the 2’s were probably the worst overall… I think the AE2’s will be different (hopefully). The AE1’s might win sneaker of the year and regardless the AE2’s will get some hype due to the success of the 1’s. As long as adidas doesn’t totally screw up the performance people will buy them for that even if they don’t look good. The performance will really determine a lot
Would love to see a dive on Adidas short lived RGIII line
that’s a great recommendation! I’ll try to get to that eventually!
Dope video! I actually thought the 3s were an absolute upgrade looks wise from the 2s, looks wise at least.

I think a fair amount of Adidas ends up at Ross with their Basketball line, but so does Nike, and more recently Under Armour (specifically the Curry Brand.)
im not a sneaker head by any means but i really enjoyed the vid, keep grinding
Dude I appreciate that a ton! Definitely will! Got lots more of these in the works
I don't think i've seen people wearing this on the court, at least here in South East Asia, be it indoor or outdoor. and my community were invested with hoop sneakerhead (like the chinese and the japanese loves to wear their local brand - you've seen someone wearing Gordon Hayward shoes?)
Honestly im not super surprised that not many people are wearing them there…. I see very few people wearing them here already
I really like the Dame 7s I have, my only complaint would be that the lightning foam bottomed out but I love the way they look, though the cw I have is phenomenal (the rose city one). Also I think the Trae 3 looked dope and I almost bought them but the performance and high retail price in my country made me rethink that. I think the 2s are hideous tho

got my Trae 3 from the outlet for $50, good deal😂
That’s a really good deal tbh… definitely worth it for that price
I believe you are wrong in the place you say that they cancelled the Drose line maybe you mean the main line but he got 4 shoes after 2019 or 3 3 for sure the son of chi line this year they released the Drose son of chi 3 an amazing performer that nobody talked about it

@@HaydenJonesSneakers well most likely you we're saying about the main line that they we're charging up to 180 if you we're mentioned these line yeah you're right (I'm just saying not complaining)
Adidas chose the newer toy in Edwards which is funny because Trae is so much better
Both great players but I might have to disagree, I think they’re pretty even
Even if they were the same in term of on court, Antman is a lot more marketable. A shit ton more
Honestly, the problem is that the hawks were bad and so was trey young. It's hard to invest an athlete who isn't pkay enough to market themselves
Yeah that was definitely a big part of it, but they still could’ve kept the line going if they just had a little bit better performance
What's good Hayden?
Yoooo what’s up Vincent!
Like this!
Thanks bro!
Trae's first sneaker was actually fire.
It was! I wish they continued in that direction
I've seen Trae's shoe at Ross. Not saying that means it's automatically trash, but clearly didn't sell well
Yeah Ross definitely doesn’t mean it’s bad but never a good sign… gotta be rough sales to get there
4:40 Trae currently has a career record of 6-14 against the Knicks as of the date of this comment.
No wonder he hates NY so much, mf can barely beat them
I mean he did get them in that first series but that’s a pretty rough record… I didn’t realize it was that low haha
Might get the Trae unlimited 3
I haven’t personally tried them but I heard they’re alright
Do a kyrie nike shoes video
Coming soon 👀
The Trae 1s are amazing tho
I agree! Those were so nice
Lack of innovation and collabs killed the Trae line.
Yeah after the 1’s they just stopped putting in effort
TR 1 was dope.
It really was! Great show I wish they continued in that direction
Still waiting on the don collection😅
Alright bet I’ve made you wait too long imma drop it asap
Do a Paul George cancelled kicks
Definitely will cover that in the near future!
My dad got these Trae young he like them
Glad someone liked them!
The TY 2 was horrible, as soon as I put them on, I wanted them off. Interesting design but to snug
Yeah they messed up the fit sooooo bad in them
Adidas being Adidas. Puma doing the same with those moon boot Lamelo ball sneakers.
Yeah true… fortunately adidas has a good thing going with harden, Mitchell, and AE… but puma is lost right now
@@HaydenJonesSneakers They almost messed up Harden's line and Mitchell's as well. Puma lacks any direction with their strategy besides going after young players. Their initial retro-inspired designs were cool, but they did a total 180 with the weird Lamelo and Scoot sneakers.

@ ok ima give the 9s a pass to me they look like somthing similar to the hardens design but the lillard 3s wit the straps was by far the worst to me
Adidas really have bad luck with their signature huh
drop the ball on Jordan, Kobe, Drose, JWall, now TYoung
Yeah they’ve definitely made some mistakes but it seems like they’re getting their footing with their current lineup
Great move by adidas T.Y would not held the brand in anyway. 🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️
Yeah sadly he hasn’t really been talked about such since that magical run to the ECF… but who knows maybe one day they’ll regret it
Paul George, Chris Paul or Carmelo Anthony's signature shoes
Doing Kyrie next then PG 👀
Glad his run with adidas has ended. His shoes definitely won’t stand the test of time.
Yeah it’s unfortunately true… I wish things just went differently, adidas has been doing so well but they didn’t quite get it done with his line
paul george. y his signature line got cancelled but Paul continues to wear Nike
That’s definitely gonna be a future episode 👀
Hopefully reebok signs him.
He just signed with Jordan :/
The ice Trae 1 is better looks wise then the Ae1 argue with ur momma not me
Haha no I honestly think I might agree, the ice Trae 1 is one of the cleanest hoop shoes of the last 5 years in my opinion
Kyrie 8
Kyrie episode coming soon 👀
Adidas basketball shoes are ugly in general but Trae 1’s were nice, I got two pairs.
I think most of the recent adidas releases have actually looked really good but when the Trae 1’s came out they were easily the best looking adidas hoop shoe
Adidas endorsers have no champions 😂
I have a feeling that’ll chance fairly soon!
I'm sorry all his sneaker was terrible none of them never looked good
Valid opinion, I personally really liked the look of the 1’s but I understand not being a fan… for the post part after the 1’s I wasn’t a fan of the looks either
LMAO adidas
