I honestly think that nightwing is a better performance reviewer then kickgenius. True, kickgenius may be more entertaining with all their dunks, crossover, and drills in general; but nightwing truly focuses on the performance aspect. Been watching him for about 2 years now ever since I have gotten into kicks and i have to say he is one of the most down to earth, not hype beast people on youtube. Hope your family is doing well! Keep up the great work nightwing!
+Kevin Zheng i agree. nightwing goes in on the details that really matter on the overall performance of a shoe. gives nice comparisons too and not just the jordan 29. lol
+Kevin Zheng they are just not professional and hate adidas at least since they've been invited to adidas HQ and went there dressed head to toe in Nike/Jordan gear acting like thats a normal thing to do lol
this is why i love nightwing's reviews. although kickgenius is entertaining with all their crossovers, drills, and dunks; their reviews are mostly about the aesthics and comparing each shoe to the Jordan XX9. Nightwing's reviews are all about performance and very objective. Keep it up!
On my second pair now and they're still my favorite indoor shoe. Sometimes feels a bit heavy, but they're so damn comfortable and supportive. I had a black and white pair in college, and now I was lucky enough to find the Xmas colorway for a good deal and the still kick ass
Probably the best part of this video was the explanation of the X-bar and how it contains the Boost. The quality of these reviews is so legit - keep it up!
These are the first Rose's in a while that I saw and wanted to pick up without even hearing a review. But now this just cements my purchase. I will be buying these for myself for Xmas for sure!
I bought a pair and I freakin love them. It feels like clouds under ur feet I can't even describe it any better than that. One of the shoes I have played in.
I was in love when I took that first run lol love how you can feel the boost! Traction was good and my foot was locked in, which made me feel confident on cuts and quick stops. Awesome stuff by Adidas
I am just finding this video! I found a pair at Ross for 40.00 they are a size 12 but I wear an 11. This is the most comfortable shoe I ever own ever. The boost is crazy I did not know what boost was when I bought them. Great grip they have a little weight and you can not were low cut socks like you mentioned other than that they are GOLDEN!
I just got my pair today and I love them the are really comfortable and have really good traction it felt like I was walking on pillows absolutely awesome great vid keep up the good work
Hey Nightwing, I copped these kicks but in the Halloween colourway based on your review and they did not disappoint . Frikken awsome traction and cushioning. Thank you and keep up your outstanding work. Cheers
thanks a lot nightwing i was waiting for you to comment on the traction, just trying the shoe at the adidas store i thought was amazing but wanted a second option, thanks
I know it's an old model, but I don't understand why nobody mentioned in any review that this shoe has a very high foot arch. Basically, when I wear them I feel a bump pushing at bottom of the my foot. Mention that I have a regular foot arch and I've never had this problem with any shoe. Also, the overall material quality is not that impressive at all. Too bad, I waited for more than a year to get my hands on this shoe but I will definitely return them. Lillard 2.0 all the way, I totally recommend that shoe! Great comfort and quality!
Great review! Please hit us with the Curry 2 performance test as soon as you can. I'm now torn between these and the Curry's for regular use. I'm leaning to the Curry's though since they kind of embody a Jordan XX8 feel, which is my favorite hoop shoe of all time. Keep it up, Nightwing!
Hi sir! I have been a fan of your videos since 2012... So late I may admit though, hahaha! Here in the Philippines, there are lot of sneaker freaks like me who also love to play basketball. With your recommendation based on this video, I did buy a pair of D Rose 6's (the white colorway) because like you said, it worked just fine for you on outdoor surfaces. We ballers here do play on majority of outdoor courts, so I really can't wait to feel the experience you got from these bad boys (I am highly anticipating the cushion because although I am already 27 years old, my legs feel hurt now after I play! Damn! Hahaha!) Thanks again for your videos man! KEEP IT UP AND GOD BLESS!
These are amazing. Got them on the first day of release. Tried many of this year basketball shoes and i can say the d rose 6 rank top 1-2 of them!! Highly recommended and go get a pair to hoop in guys.
Really considering whether or not I should get them. I watched Duke's review on the site and he was signing praises of the shoe as well. It seems like an awesome sneaker performance wise.
These are dope . I have a pair of these and the Primeknit Boost. The D rose 6 are obviously a little heavier than the Primeknits but overall these are the two best shoes i've played in. Boost is no joke, it's amazing if you haven't tried it!! If you like a little more court feel go with the primeknit. If you love to dance on pillows get the D Rose 6s !
Glad you felt the same way about the cushioning, it was alright in the store but after a day or two of use they were clouds. Thinking of grabbing the black pair this weekend to actually use for bball since I don't wanna trash the all-white's, those are perfect for chilling.
One of my all-time favorite hoop shoes. Supportive, amazing traction, awesome cushioning, they looked great, and they were bearable for my wide feet. Yeah, they were hot AF due to no ventilation. But these got the job done!
@nightwing2303 thanks for the review! I just ordered the black pair at finishline for less than 100. Also picked up the primenet all star version as well.
Hey Nightwing, awesome review as always, I'm now torn between the D Rose 6 and Curry 2, i want a pair that i can hoop in and wear casually and would like good cushioning, which one would you recommend?
Nightwing I finally got my pair 5 months later on clearance. I ended up with the white mesh pair for $99. You were so right about that cushion! So here's my thoughts about D.Rose in hindsight. You know how we've been thinking it's not the shoes injuring D.Rose, it's D.Rose injuring D.Rose? What if Adidas had been supplying him with this type of cushion all along instead of that thin EVA/Adiprene in past years? Dude used to play reckless just like Russell Westbrook before the injuries. We all know how playing in superb cushion alleviates our joints and sort of keeps our legs from giving out quicker. These shoes are the truth and really feel like a "safe shoe" to me.
I have these since day one and I have to say these are amazing might be the best shoes I played in yet. The first time I put them on I felt like I was on a marshmallow and the traction is just sick and I thought it was going to be bad because of the pattern but Adidas is just on point. Rumor has it they will release a fly knit one soon but not sure when. Go out and buy them
Yo, I don't know if you got this comparison before but I see similarities between you and 1st baseman of the Kansas City Royals Eric Hosmer. That's a good thing by the way, that dude was f-ing clutch in the World Series and post season.
Ordered a pair of Adidas today for $70, and yeah man them 95 AJ 11' was my fav to play in then I know what you mean and if they are close to them Ill be happy with this pick up good review
Since you ask for the opinion of your viewers, here is mine.i have the black and red colour, away i believe its called and in my true size it feels pretty narrow. I also think it takes more than 2 hours to break it in. More like 2 days.finally i cant feel the boost in the forefoot. Other than that i think i agree with all the other aspects of your review.
I really wish they'd go back to the Rose 1/1.5's. I loved everything about them. Maybe switch the cushion to Boost, but I did not have a problem with the cushion on those shoes. I believe it was adiPure. Also loved the Geofit support and Sprintframe. Hopefully they'll look back and grab ideas from those two shoes.
Nightwing, I have a quick question. My friends and I love talking about shoes and What we were talking about was the Materials on the Roses. I was wondering if the Home color way is any more ventilated than the Away. If so I would love copping the Aways, Thanks once again -Matt
I tried that on on the day it was released at the Adidas employee store...I didn't grab one even though it's $70 a pair... I have been waiting for your review since then and I will visit Portland for sure to grab a pair in the next few days.
Nightwing, i have a question for you. between the d lillard 2 and the Drose 6 or both, which would you prefer. I know you're not here to tell me what to do, but what offered a better package. I am flatfooted, and wanted to know if I should get any of these or buy a pair of blue j crossover 2.
I just got these after trying the crazy light boost 2015 in store, they felt like there was a bump in the heal area that was hurting, so I went for the drose 6, they seems pretty dope, gonna go play with them in a few hrs...
I've played in all of Kobe's shoes (only the Crazy 8's for adidas), but the D Rose 6 beat all of them when it comes to cushioning. I bought the black colorway and I thought it will take a lot of break in time because of the material, but the shoe is still really comfortable to play in.
I just hope that the primeknit version of the shoe(rumored to release around all star weekend. Jwall 2 and Lillard 2 r also suppose to get a primeknit version with boost) does release. Would probably combine the best of both versions
suffering from plantar fascitis i tried alot of kicks believe me and i still play with pain every game. but i can say drose 6 gives me the best benefits i don't suffer that much compared to other kicks.
is there a benefit to put an outsole on a elite basketball shoe? It might sound dumb but would it bring extra comfort? particularly on the D Rose 6? looking dorward to buy them as a PG.
Would love to hear what your top three of the year are if you don't mind brother! Chance of you makin a video of it or a post on your site before year end? Keep rockn out dude.
I just got these yesterday coz it was on sale. Less than a 100 US dollars even if im from the PH. 4200php to be exact. Amazing shoes. I have an ankle problem but these babies dont hurt my foot even if im walking straight. I have never been so happy with buying a pair of shoes
I should've watch you're review before I bought this shoes. Bought black one first. Took me three break ins and it still not comfortable then I tried the white one with mesh, no break in needed. I have a wide feet, yet I chose the black one first because the material feels much durable than the white mesh. Just wish they have the mesh in the same colour way as the black one cuz it reminds me of Jordan 11s
I have a questions.. Are you recommended this shoes for big man ?? Because i still wear my d.rose 2.5 and its still feel good for me.. And im thinking to change with this ...
hi @nightwing2303, that was such an insane volume of boost on the Rose6! cushionwise, have you ever felt like you're over bouncy sometimes, like the zoom unit way back on Lebron Zoom Soldier 6? im still playing with those pillows because theyre so goddamn comfortable! your thoughts could help me out here :) thanks in advance and great review as always! :)

u right, they Just compare all the shoes to the xx9. they dont show the features on the shoe Just say it isnt approved by them.
+Kevin Zheng i agree. nightwing goes in on the details that really matter on the overall performance of a shoe. gives nice comparisons too and not just the jordan 29. lol
+JustMeMees dude I totally agree!
Carlos Rodriguez U get it my man. going to cop these i think! my old hyperdunks are totally ripped apart ;P
+Kevin Zheng they are just not professional and hate adidas at least since they've been invited to adidas HQ and went there dressed head to toe in Nike/Jordan gear acting like thats a normal thing to do lol
These are going to be classics in the future.
this is why i love nightwing's reviews. although kickgenius is entertaining with all their crossovers, drills, and dunks; their reviews are mostly about the aesthics and comparing each shoe to the Jordan XX9. Nightwing's reviews are all about performance and very objective. Keep it up!
3+ years and it's still my favorite basketball shoes to play in
Is the shoe still good enough to play in today? A store near me is selling a pair for 50 and I'm thinking about Coppin it.
These are real nice. But the DROSE 7's are forever my favorite shoe to hoop in. They hit on everything in that shoe.
On my second pair now and they're still my favorite indoor shoe. Sometimes feels a bit heavy, but they're so damn comfortable and supportive. I had a black and white pair in college, and now I was lucky enough to find the Xmas colorway for a good deal and the still kick ass
Very in-depth review!
Probably the best part of this video was the explanation of the X-bar and how it contains the Boost. The quality of these reviews is so legit - keep it up!
The first Drose i'm copping since the 773 back in 2011. Great review as always Nightwing.
the 773 2 n 773 3 r better than the rose 4 n 4.5 and 5 to me im picking up the rose 773 4 this week over the 6s
+Mighty Tray That's a big mistake bro look some reviews of the new 773 and you'll see they aren't that good this year
+Jorge Castro I think you read his comment wrong. He's gonna cop the Drose 6, not the 773.
Just so you know your profile pic is an edit I have created on @basketball.mixtapes on Instagram! Thanks for sharing!
+Pikajewz Ohh
I just picked up the grey pair yesterday! You're right, they are the most comfortable basketball shoe I've ever worn
These are the first Rose's in a while that I saw and wanted to pick up without even hearing a review. But now this just cements my purchase. I will be buying these for myself for Xmas for sure!
Gonna take a guess at your top 3 of the year. D Rose 6. Curry 2. And the J Crossover 3
No way curry
Curry and J Crossover probably switched around
***** Lol you never know man. He's got a month to go.
+JR Reyes I'm pretty sure that the curry 2 is going to be raplaced with the brand black ether :)
***** I doubt that the Jordan 30 will come out this year. It'll probably come out by the playoffs.
I've got the Chicago colorway and they definitely do not disappoint,such a great shoe.You nailed this review,nicely done.
I bought a pair and I freakin love them. It feels like clouds under ur feet I can't even describe it any better than that. One of the shoes I have played in.
Thanks! I just bought a pair of D Rose 6, really like it. I feel much softer than Nike zoom air, and also the fit!
I was in love when I took that first run lol love how you can feel the boost! Traction was good and my foot was locked in, which made me feel confident on cuts and quick stops. Awesome stuff by Adidas
I am just finding this video! I found a pair at Ross for 40.00 they are a size 12 but I wear an 11. This is the most comfortable shoe I ever own ever. The boost is crazy I did not know what boost was when I bought them. Great grip they have a little weight and you can not were low cut socks like you mentioned other than that they are GOLDEN!
I just got my pair today and I love them the are really comfortable and have really good traction it felt like I was walking on pillows absolutely awesome great vid keep up the good work
The best shoe review I've every seen👍🏽
Hey Nightwing, I copped these kicks but in the Halloween colourway based on your review and they did not disappoint . Frikken awsome traction and cushioning. Thank you and keep up your outstanding work. Cheers

I'm not just saying this but nightwing I truly appreciate ur vids and the effort u put into them and thanks for the review

Just copped yesterday can't wait for the gym to open up
Bought them today before watching this video. Sounds like a solid pick up!

Great review again NW. I hope Adidas releases Drose 6 Lows. I'd be super happy if that happened
Glad you felt the same way about the cushioning, it was alright in the store but after a day or two of use they were clouds. Thinking of grabbing the black pair this weekend to actually use for bball since I don't wanna trash the all-white's, those are perfect for chilling.

Supportive, amazing traction, awesome cushioning, they looked great, and they were bearable for my wide feet. Yeah, they were hot AF due to no ventilation. But these got the job done!
Hi NW, thanks for this useful review. Where do these shoes compare in the overall weight criteria?
@nightwing2303 thanks for the review! I just ordered the black pair at finishline for less than 100. Also picked up the primenet all star version as well.
Nice video Chris. I'm looking for some new ball shoes so I'm going to check these out.
Really enjoy your reviews. How do you compare these to the crazylight boost 2015s?
How much better and more comprehensive this is than Kick Genius' review of the 6s is unreal lol
Get my pair tommorow can't wait to try them out! Great review once again!
Hey Nightwing, awesome review as always, I'm now torn between the D Rose 6 and Curry 2, i want a pair that i can hoop in and wear casually and would like good cushioning, which one would you recommend?
Good look in the review. I plan to cop a pair now after hearing your assessment.
5 years later and still my favourite shoe
Awesome review. You definitely are the best in the business.
Nightwing I finally got my pair 5 months later on clearance. I ended up with the white mesh pair for $99. You were so right about that cushion! So here's my thoughts about D.Rose in hindsight.

Where did you get them on clearance??

Nice review! Might consider getting myself a pair now
Would the away colorway be scored differently for fit and materials? If so, what would their score be?
seen these in person they look and feel very very nice
a very good and detailed review, great job man!
Love those background black Jordan 6 infrareds
Thx for your review I truly apprentices this video
The video was in depth and helped alot to consider which d rose 6 would be suitable for me
Ah I was waiting pretty eagerly for this video, can't wait to grab a pair, they look pretty dope.
Great review Nightwing! Also would you say that they are all around better than the JC3. When do those release by the way?
Yo, I don't know if you got this comparison before but I see similarities between you and 1st baseman of the Kansas City Royals Eric Hosmer. That's a good thing by the way, that dude was f-ing clutch in the World Series and post season.
Ordered a pair of Adidas today for $70, and yeah man them 95 AJ 11' was my fav to play in then I know what you mean and if they are close to them Ill be
happy with this pick up good review
definitely one of the best shoes out there this year
Still waiting on the collab with Brad Hall.
"The new ones suck ass" had me dead
adidas got it right this time
i wanna try these out
+Donte Washington You should the Drose 6 is an excellent basketball shoe
should I get the d rose 6 or Kobe 10's
+MLG__420BLAZEIT__XXXXXXXxXx rose man
I shall pick the black one, too. Waiting for the UAC2 review. I would also like to see a Stance NBA on court socks performance review.
Nice video, @nightwing2303 what do you think d rose 6 or j crossover 3?
Since you ask for the opinion of your viewers, here is mine.i have the black and red colour, away i believe its called and in my true size it feels pretty narrow. I also think it takes more than 2 hours to break it in. More like 2 days.finally i cant feel the boost in the forefoot. Other than that i think i agree with all the other aspects of your review.

Great Review as Always Nightwing !
Appearance looks appealing to my eyes love those kicks
Hey Nightwing, How would u compare a 360 zoom vs full length boost?
good job night wing I'm looking to get them for Christmas
Nightwing, I have a quick question. My friends and I love talking about shoes and What we were talking about was the Materials on the Roses. I was wondering if the Home color way is any more ventilated than the Away. If so I would love copping the Aways, Thanks once again -Matt
I tried that on on the day it was released at the Adidas employee store...I didn't grab one even though it's $70 a pair...
I have been waiting for your review since then and I will visit Portland for sure to grab a pair in the next few days.
Just copped one for $60 on ebay! 🔥🔥🔥 BEAST!
Nightwing, i have a question for you. between the d lillard 2 and the Drose 6 or both, which would you prefer. I know you're not here to tell me what to do, but what offered a better package. I am flatfooted, and wanted to know if I should get any of these or buy a pair of blue j crossover 2.
Great review! :) Will you do an Adidas Drose 773 4 review?
would you consider in reviewing the Reebok Z Pump Rise? keep up the excellent work!
You got another subscribe great video Nightwing keep it up!
check out the d rose 6 xeno, different upper material is a HUGE upgrade and pics don't do them justice, they are dope in person
Great video like always Chris
I trust nightwings performance reviews more than kick genius
I just got these after trying the crazy light boost 2015 in store, they felt like there was a bump in the heal area that was hurting, so I went for the drose 6, they seems pretty dope, gonna go play with them in a few hrs...
I've played in all of Kobe's shoes (only the Crazy 8's for adidas), but the D Rose 6 beat all of them when it comes to cushioning. I bought the black colorway and I thought it will take a lot of break in time because of the material, but the shoe is still really comfortable to play in.
Great review night wing!
great review!!!! does anyone have any tips for cleaning the boost???
I just hope that the primeknit version of the shoe(rumored to release around all star weekend. Jwall 2 and Lillard 2 r also suppose to get a primeknit version with boost) does release. Would probably combine the best of both versions
idk if I can wait but god that'd be a dope shoe
suffering from plantar fascitis i tried alot of kicks believe me and i still play with pain every game. but i can say drose 6 gives me the best benefits i don't suffer that much compared to other kicks.
gian perez same here, ive noticed less pain in my foot after games wearing this awesome shoes..
These things are mad comfy yo! Just got my pair in the mail.
is there a benefit to put an outsole on a elite basketball shoe? It might sound dumb but would it bring extra comfort? particularly on the D Rose 6? looking dorward to buy them as a PG.
nightwing d rose 6 is effective in a cement or asphalt court?
Yes
Would love to hear what your top three of the year are if you don't mind brother! Chance of you makin a video of it or a post on your site before year end?
Keep rockn out dude.
I'm probably gonna get these and the zoom solider 9s when they go on sale
I just got these yesterday coz it was on sale. Less than a 100 US dollars even if im from the PH. 4200php to be exact. Amazing shoes. I have an ankle problem but these babies dont hurt my foot even if im walking straight. I have never been so happy with buying a pair of shoes
Keithnash13 san ka nakabili pre ?
cebu bro. Sports Warehouse IT Park
Keithnash13 welp 4195 nalang sya sa sports central lols ngayon sa MOA
I should've watch you're review before I bought this shoes. Bought black one first. Took me three break ins and it still not comfortable then I tried the white one with mesh, no break in needed. I have a wide feet, yet I chose the black one first because the material feels much durable than the white mesh. Just wish they have the mesh in the same colour way as the black one cuz it reminds me of Jordan 11s
I'm getting mine this Thursday!!
these are super comfy and cushiony. the extra padding actually made it very snug for me so I had to go up half a size
Nightwing if the primeknit version does release are you going to cop them?
I'll probably just rock these for style
so true Nightwing! !!! one of the best cushions of all time.... but kind of heavy though :(
ordered mine in the chinese new year colourway cant wait to get them
There's a purple colorway using what I believe is a primeknit upper, might be good for those who like woven uppers
Hey Nightwing! Any chance you might get the d rose 6 with prime knit?
I have a questions.. Are you recommended this shoes for big man ?? Because i still wear my d.rose 2.5 and its still feel good for me.. And im thinking to change with this ...
hi @nightwing2303, that was such an insane volume of boost on the Rose6! cushionwise, have you ever felt like you're over bouncy sometimes, like the zoom unit way back on Lebron Zoom Soldier 6? im still playing with those pillows because theyre so goddamn comfortable! your thoughts could help me out here :) thanks in advance and great review as always! :)
Which would u suggest for the best cushion/joint protection, dROSE6 or LeBron12?? Pls Lmk thanks.
