The adidas Jabbar “Suede Pack” is Proper Premium

Earlier this year, The Brand With the 3 Stripes dove into its archives to bring back a classic: the legendary Jabbar. Originally designed for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar back in 1978, the silhouette has been a huge hit for both old school and new school sneakerheads. And if you’re still wondering whether or not to add it to your rotation, the upcoming adidas Jabbar “Suede Pack” is here to convince you.

Revealed in three distinct colour combinations including “Kelly Green,” “Red,” and “Royal Blue,” as the name of this collection states, each and every pair is crafted from buttery soft suede. This is a huge departure from the classic construction, as original pairs were made from leather. Three Stripe branding hits the lateral and medial sidewalls, while the laces, heel, and midsole are all dipped in a creamy hue for a vintage vibe.

A key detail that sets this pack apart is the gold foil illustration of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar performing his signature skyhook on the tongue – a subtle nod to the history of adidas‘ first ever basketball shoe. The high-top version retains a tonal tongue for a unified look, while the low-cut styles incorporate contrasting tongues for added dimension.

The adidas Jabbar “Suede Pack” seamlessly blends heritage and modern style, offering a fresh take on a basketball classic while honouring one of the game’s greatest players. Dropping on December 5th, let us know if you’ll be going for these, and be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
