HISTORY:Before there was Michael Jordan there was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the 7'2", six-time MVP winner from New York City. The Adidas Jabbar was first released in 1971 as a signature baskeball shoe and was inspired by Kareem Abdul Jabbar and his trademark "sky-hook" shot. The Jabbar shoe was a signature shoe in the days before signature shoe lines and for a time was the shoe to have. The Adidas Jabbar, however, has never really become a mainstream fashion item, however, for collectors an original Adidas Jabbar in deadstock condition will cost approximately $1,000 and a later model or reissue often runs as much as $200 a pair. The Adidas Jabbar basketball shoes with the classic, simple design feature a graphic of Kareem on the tongue, full leather upper, and suede toe bumper.
Really comfy and light,'70s original old school appeal with suede round toe and yellowish rubber sole.
I got this pair in April 2005 .I paid only £70 for them..a bargain!!!!!!!!
