Sorry crappy I-pad pic. LOVE these kicks only 2 issues.

1. Not paper in toe box
2. Small scratch on one of my pair

So so so happy no real Hype on these. Now just need to find those socks
 
surprised the Nightmare before Christmas didn't sell out, maybe ill wait a lil bit to see if they discount or whenever they take off that excluded from discounts
 
Adidas predicted that these are going to sell out at $180? They wish.

Just called my Footlocker an hour before they close. Still FSR and not even one pair was sold. These will be a lot more attractive when Eastbay take off the restriction and allow buyer to buy em with 20% off $99

That's one footlocker though. Most sizes sold out in AZ (pretty much size 10 and up).
 
The Rose 3 itself is just a great overall model. I really don't want to pay $160-$180 for them tho so I'll be waiting for price drops. I HATE paying retail for any shoe, Nike and Jordan included. Might have to bite the bullet on the NBC cuz they may not last as long as I thought. Pissed I waited to get the CF, my 12.5 is gone. I wonder if Rose would've worn these purple kicks with his red Bulls uniform in the game tonight against Houston, Howard didn't wear his against Lakers. Best sig model of the 2012-2013 season.

This. They kinda threw a lot of colors at us at once. I want to get the Brendas next. Christmas is killing my pockets though smh
 
Can't even find a spot in my area that has these to even see them in person :{ .... Ima just bank on a dope YouTube vid for the details lol
 
NBC is a dope colorway, but adidas is smoking rock with their prices. they're charging the same JB is chargin for the bred XIs. people complain about the price of the XIs (a classic) so I don't know what leads Adidas to believe they can charge these prices for a shoe that Rose hasn't even played in. coming off the injury in the 2.5 you'd think they would reassess the situation and consider a price drop, not raise.

I noticed as well Howard didnt rock his. Did any Adidas sponsored players wear the NBC crazy light?

I think you need to compare apples to apples here. The Rose retail for non premium colors is 160 which is inline with Nike for the top tier sig models. The NBC was considered a premium so a 20 dollar upcharge is not unreasonable when Nike uses a very similar pricing strategy.
 
anyone have a review on these still on the fence. I think its is more so the price tag than anything right now with how much I have spent on kicks these past few days. My local HOH still has a fsr
 
Called the adidas flagship store in SF today for the NBC's and they told me they were out from 9.5-12. She also said they were expecting more within the week, most likely next week. I called a footlocker/hoh nearby and the lady said they had em. Picked them up just now and they're amazing in person. I had to pick up the socks too. There was a huge line outside the store for the xmas brons/kobes/KDs. These poop all over all 3 of those in my opinion. Adidas really knocked these out of the park. A strong signature logo and a really clean way to incorporate the 3 stripes into the design. I love em and can't wait to wear em to disneyland this weekend. :smokin

Some pics for your viewing pleasure.

And a glow comparison. They were exposed to the same amount of sunlight. The heel of the roses glow pretty cool, the sole didn't so much compared to the other 2.

Dope pick up. I completely agree about Adidas NBC theme being superior to the Nike holiday pack this year. The only shoe from that pack that could give the NBC a run would be the Hyperdunk PE's and I dont think they released those to retail.
