adidas Plays ‘Game of Death’ With Bruce Lee-themed Jabbar Low
Bruce Lee’s 1978 film Game of Death is one of the most influential martial arts films of all time. There’s an abundance of homages out there, the most famous of which would likely be Quentin Tarantino's 2003 flick , which saw Uma Thurman rock an inspired black-and-yellow get-up as 'The Bride' (nope, no 22-year-old spoilers here).
But in the sneakersphere, there’s too many tributes to count – almost every brand has honoured Lee and his influence on film, sportswear, and how to craft a stunning sartorial palette. Next up is , who’re dropping a Jabbar Lo dubbed ‘Game of Death’ that touches on the history between NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the martial arts superstar.
ICYMI: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar plays the character of Hakim in the 1978 film, but the athlete was also a student of Lee's, and the two were close friends during this time.
For the upcoming Jabbar Lo, Team Trefoil have decked out the upper in a yellow suede, bolstered with black leather stripes and tongue. Graphic insoles show images of both Lee and Jabbar, which also feature on the specialised box and paper.
