Adidas Jabbar Lo Black Cheetah

Adidas Jabbar Lo Black Cheetah — The First Signature Shoe in History of adidas

The Jabbar launched in 1971 as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s signature shoe, and with it, adidas introduced the concept of the signature shoe to basketball. Its formula — soft leather, suede toe box, and a clean, low profile — defines the entire adidas aesthetic of the seventies and has allowed the silhouette to return time and time again. This Black Cheetah version breaks with that understated look with a central animal-print stripe.

The Jabbar Lo — Leather, Suede Toe Box, and Central Print

The silhouette retains everything that made it recognizable: leather upper, suede toe box, and a very clean line from heel to toe. The new element is in the center: a textured cheetah-print panel runs along the side and contrasts with the smooth black of the rest. The three stripes and sole remain tonal so the print is the only focal point.

Materials and Technology

• Upper: Premium black leather with suede toe box; central panel with textured cheetah print; tonal three stripes
• Interior: Textile lining; low padded collar; removable insole
• Sole: Low-profile rubber sole with a classic seventies basketball court tread pattern
