Wales Bonner <\/a>has collaborated with adidas Originals on a collection that honours Kareem Abdul-Jabbar<\/strong>. He signed one of the first sneakers with his own name in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WB Jabbar model has been redesigned in suede with crocodile-embossed leather stripes<\/strong>. The tongue features a gold detail referencing the sky hook<\/em>, and the heel displays the word \u201cWales Bonner\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It includes a yellow jersey with green accents, a white tracksuit with a striped collar and cuffs, and socks in the colours of the Milwaukee Bucks<\/strong> and Los Angeles Lakers<\/strong>. This collection combines sporting and retro references, connecting fashion with history and Black culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campaign, starring Jecardi Sykes and photographed by Oliver Hadlee Pearch, mixes current images with archive material and clips of Abdul-Jabbar\u2019s voice<\/strong>, highlighting his legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adidas Originals by Wales Bonner Jabbar collection will be released on 8 September<\/strong> on the adidas website<\/a>, the Confirmed app, and select stores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
