The adidas Jabbar Hi “Collegiate Green” brings classic basketball roots straight into today’s sneaker scene. First hitting courts in 1978 as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s signature shoe, this high-top silhouette returns with a clean, archive-inspired look. Crafted from soft leather, it delivers a premium feel, while the suede toe cap adds a touch of texture and a subtle nod to its vintage heritage.
The shoe’s Cloud White leather base sets the tone, complemented by Collegiate Green accents and finished with an Off White sole. The leather lining offers a smooth interior, enhancing comfort whether heading out or wearing them all day. Underfoot, the rubber outsole ensures grip and durability, keeping the Jabbar Hi practical as well as sharp-looking.
More than just a retro revival, this pair reconnects with basketball’s golden era and channels it into a fresh streetwear statement. It pairs easily with knee socks and high-cut shorts for a retro athletic vibe or dresses down with jeans for an everyday fit.
With the renewed push behind the Jabbar line, the “Collegiate Green” colourway feels like a standout addition. Expect these to drop via adidas and select retailers soon. Stay tuned for raffles, early access, and confirmed launch details if you want to add a piece of adidas history to your collection.
