The Wales Bonner x adidas Originals FW25 Collection Tributes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

adidas Originals and Wales Bonner reunite with a collection that honours Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s early years on and off the court. The capsule merges classic adidas with Wales Bonner’s unique modern design language.

Wales Bonner x adidas Jabbar Shoe

The Wales Bonner x adidas Jabbar Shoe leads the collection. Constructed from premium suede in a deep burgundy finish, the upper is accented by dual serrated 3-Stripes in cream and metallic gold. A crisp cream shell toe and sole unit balance the richness of the suede, while “Wales Bonner” branding in gold foil stamps the heel. The tongue artwork references Jabbar’s iconic Skyhook, tying the design directly to basketball while keeping adidas’ archival DNA intact.

Jabbar Knit Shorts

Apparel pieces carry the same storytelling approach. The Jabbar Knit Shorts feature embroidery of Jabbar’s Skyhook on the front and his signature stitched across the back.

3-Stripes Track Top

The 3-Stripes Track Top keeps classic adidas lines but introduces bold graphics, including a dragon wrapped around a basketball across the back panel.

Track Pants

The Track Pants return in traditional basketball fabrics with embroidered hits of the Trefoil, Wales Bonner, and Jabbar’s signature.

Jabbar Vest

Layering options include the Jabbar Vest, accented with mesh-knit 3-Stripes and Skyhook artwork across the front.

3-Stripes Socks

Rounding out the drop, the 3-Stripes Socks arrive in a two-pack with ribbed cuffs, both logos, and embroidered detailing.

By spotlighting Abdul-Jabbar, Wales Bonner and adidas have crafted a capsule that highlights a specific time in sport culture whilst delivering refined pieces that fit for today. Dropping on September 8th via Confirmed, let us know what you’ll be looking to cop for from the capsule.
