Willy Chavarria Elevates the adidas Jabbar for Fall 2025

ongoing partnership with continues to hit new heights, with Fall 2025 bringing a bold new spin on the silhouette. First laced by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1970s, the Jabbar is a revered piece of basketball history – and now, Chavarria gives it a modern, fashion-forward twist that bridges sport and street.

This drop features two distinct models: the Jabbar Lo and the Jabbar Dress Lo. The Jabbar Lo keeps things classic with an off-white and black leather upper, nodding to old-school adidas DNA with a folded tongue. Gold ‘WILLY’ lettering adds signature flair, while the black rubber toe cap throws it back to the iconic shell toe design.

If the Jabbar Lo is about revisiting heritage, the Jabbar Dress Lo is all about reinterpreting it. With its sleek, pointed toe and slimmed-down midsole, this pair transforms the hardwood icon into something you could wear on a hot date – or even to the boardroom. The off-white and blue palette combined with tan stitching evokes a vintage collegiate vibe that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

The adidas Jabbar holds a special place in sneaker history, as it was one of the first signature basketball shoes ever created. Designed in the early 1970s for the indomitable Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the shoe combined clean lines, durable leather, and a high-top build made for on-court dominance.

Priced at $160 for the Jabbar Lo and $250 for the Jabbar Dress Lo, both pairs drop on July 11 via select retailers including .
