Description from the seller
Historic Lotto: Adidas Kareem Abdul-Jabbar High Top - First Signature Shoe - Deadstock from the 1970s
The Holy Grail of Vintage Sneakers - History of the NBA
We present a museum piece of invaluable historical significance for sneaker collectors and sports history: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's first signature shoe produced by Adidas. This high-top model from the 1970s is an icon that celebrates the beginning of the era of customized sneakers for NBA giants.
From the golden era of sneakers when some steps were still done by hand, such as the Adidas stamps on the back and the stitching of the sole to the upper (noting the thickness of the thread).
It is about the shoe model worn by the Lakers' center during the legendary NBA finals against Larry Bird's Celtics.
In 1971, Adidas released the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Adidas Jabbar sneakers, featuring his face on the tongue and the shoes he wore on the basketball court. A political activist, writer, all-time NBA top scorer, and the first sneaker influencer, there is no doubt: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar put his face on it.

Important Notes on Conditions (Deadstock Vintage)
Please note that the shoes are over 40 years old; time has caused a natural and visible aging.
