 Long before kids yearned to be like Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s signature adidas model was the basketball shoe to have. The memorable advertising campaign for the model included shots in Sports Illustrated featuring a goggle-clad Abdul-Jabbar performing his trademark ’sky-hook’ shot. Off court, aside from a brief b-boy association in the early 1980s the Jabbar has never really been a hot fashion item, but that doesn’t mean it comes cheap.
