adidas continues to roll out the Jabbar in various colors, both High and Low. This latest revival has been successful as new and old fans have gravitated towards the classic silhouette. Alongside the Hi Off White Orbit Grey and Hi Core Black Off White, an Off White Dark Green low top iteration is also set to release this holiday season.
First launched in 1972, the original Jabbars were some of the first pairs of footwear produced that featured the iconic adidas Trefoil. Now, the logo of the Originals arm of the brand, the Trefoil, was created and introduced as adidas underwent a massive overhaul and expansion. Before 1972, The Brand With The Three Stripes concentrated primarily on supplying athletes with specialist equipment. This range included training shoes from the Gazelle to indoor football boots like the Samba. That all changed as the brand started mass-producing sportswear to be sold commercially.
The Trefoil was designed to launch the rebrand to coincide with the Munich Olympic Games held in the summer. Before the year was out, the Trefoil appeared on swathes of products across shelves around the globe and has become one of the most recognizable sights in modern culture. The brand overhaul included trying new things and breaking into new markets. The first NBA player to sign a signature sneaker deal with adidas was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the brand is revisiting that history in a big way, with multiple Jabbars expected to be released before the year is out.
This adidas Jabbar Low comes in a clean off white, dark green, and cream white colorway. Off White leather is utilized for the upper, including the tongue, while a strip of nubuck reinforces the toe. Three Stripes branding along the midfoot brings contrasting hues of dark green, with another hit of this color seen on the back heel tab, adorned by a gold Trefoil logo. More gold foil is present via the branding on the tongue. Underfoot, the rubber sole is aged cream white, creating a seamless and classic look.
The adidas Jabbar Low Off White Dark Green is set to release on November 6, 2024, exclusively at UNDFTD. A worldwide drop will follow on November 15 at adidas and select retailers in-store and online. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $100.
