Per Adidas Basketball (via Slam), the purple is supposed to symbolize the evening sky, the blue conjures images of Lake Michigan and the yellow is supposed to evoke thoughts of city lights.
On the interior liner, there's a multi-toned representation of an illuminated Chicago skyline.

Certainly a bold look, these bad boys will be a great buy for anyone who wants to pay tribute to Rose's hometown. And for a select few consumers, they'll really help complement that Charlotte Hornets Starter jacket you've had stashed in the closet since 1991.
