Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's signature adidas sneaker, the adidas Jabbar, is having a solid comeback. The Hi and Low variations have been well-received so far, thanks to a collaboration with atmos and solid colorways. This trend will continue well into 2025 as adidas is showing no signs of slowing down the Jabbar train. Before the new year, expect a clean Team Royal Blue high-top to join the ever-growing lineup to finish the year strong.
With a timeless look, the adidas Jabbar Hi Team Royal Blue arrives crafted from smooth suede and adorned in a rich blue hue, offering a bold and striking appearance. This hue extends to the heel collar, ensuring a consistent and cohesive look across the sneaker's profile. Cream White leather accentuates the design, strategically placed via the Three Stripes branding, seamlessly overlaying the midfoot for a traditional adidas touch. The heel tab, made of the same leather, features a gold foil Trefoil logo, adding elegance and a nod to the brand's storied heritage. This combination creates a refined contrast that captures the eye without overpowering the overall aesthetic. Adding to its retro-infused vibe, the tongue, also dressed in team royal blue suede, holds a large gold foil graphic of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, complete with his signature. Completing the look, this all sits atop an off-white rubber sole, balancing the color palette while ensuring durability and comfort.
The adidas Jabbar Hi Team Royal Blue is set to release on December 5, 2024, via adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in men's sizing, retail is $110.
