The Adidas Jabbar High And Lo 'OG Royal Blue' Return on October 18

Adidas Basketball is set to bring a piece of hoops history back to the forefront this October with the re-release of the iconic Jabbar in its original "Royal Blue" colorway. Available in both high-top and low-top models, this launch pays homage to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whose influence on the sport and culture extends far beyond his on-court exploits.

First introduced in 1978, the Jabbar sneaker was groundbreaking, featuring the first basketball shoe to showcase an athlete's face. This design not only solidified Jabbar’s status as a pioneer but also set a new standard in athletic endorsements, making it more than just footwear but a symbol of legacy.

The 2024 reissue stays true to the classic aesthetics that made the shoe a staple. The upper is crafted from premium smooth leather, providing a sleek and timeless look. Contrasting the smooth leather, a suede toe cap adds a layer of sophistication and durability, enhancing the overall design. Comfort is paramount, with a soft leather collar and lining ensuring a plush feel with every step. Completing the look is a cream white midsole, which perfectly balances the modern and retro elements of the sneaker.

Set to retail for $110 for the Hi and $100 for the Lo, the Jabbar – OG Royal Blue will be available on October 18, 2024, at 10 AM EST/7 AM PST on. Sneaker enthusiasts can find their pair on adidas.com, select Adidas stores, and retailers.
