TLDR: On 8 May 2025, the new adidas Jabbar Dress Lo will be released in collaboration with Willy Chavarria - an elegant reinterpretation of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's legendary basketball shoe. Price: 250 €. adidas and celebrated designer Willy Chavarria celebrate their next big collaboration with a radically reworked classic: the Jabbar Dress Lo. The eye-catching models have already been presented at Paris Fashion Week and the América Runway Show and bring a breath of fresh air to the sneaker world.
The black and white-coloured model combines a smooth leather upper with suede caps, waxed laces and a tapered silhouette that is strongly reminiscent of classic men's shoes. The sole remains typical of Jabbar, but is interpreted in a slimmer and more elegant way.
The placement of the name is also characteristic: instead of ‘Jabbar’, ‘Willy’ now adorns the three stripes on the side. Inside, there are natural-coloured leather insoles with co-branding from adidas and Chavarria. The packaging is also designed to do justice to the exclusive aesthetic of the shoes.
In terms of content, the entire collection moves between the poles of Chicano culture, nostalgic sports aesthetics and fashionable tailoring. Chavarria himself describes the campaign as a personal homage to his heritage and the role of adidas in the Chicano community of South Central LA.
