adidas Originals by Wales Bonner

Jabbar

adidas Originals by Wales Bonner Jabbar, available September 8th.

In the 1970s, adidas and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar inked their partnership with one of basketball’s first signature sneakers and in the process changed the sporting landscape forever. Since their first collaboration, adidas and the legendary sportsman, actor, writer, and activist have continued to embody true originality. Now, for Autumn Winter 2025, adidas Originals by Wales Bonner writes a new chapter in the storied relationship, honouring Abdul-Jabbar’s legacy with a capsule collection.

​The collection itself channels the cultural icons inimitable style, bringing back Abdul-Jabbar’s signature on-court move ‘the sky hook’ as a consistent logoed motif. A track top features embroidered dragon artwork in homage to Abdul-Jabbar’s acting career and is accompanied by matching premium tack pants. A tank top and shorts celebrate basketball heritage, while a two pack of instantly recognisable long socks are delivered in colours reminiscent of Abdul-Jabbar’s two professional teams.​

​The footwear offering sees Wales Bonner bring back the adidas Jabbar silhouette in colours with a deep connection to Abdul-Jabbar´s sporting and artistic career. The Wales Bonner Jabbar Lo recontextualizes the 70s sneaker with a full suede upper, Three Stripes with alternating colours, and gold foil sky hook artwork on the tongue.
