adidas honors basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with a limited-edition ‘Evolution of Excellence’ Forum Collection. Each shoe in the lineup commemorates significant aspects of Abdul-Jabbar’s life and career.
The adidas Forum Alpha, adorned in Blue and Gold, is inspired by Abdul-Jabbar’s remarkable college career. The adidas Forum Accolades, adorned in Purple and Gold, represent the era in Los Angeles when basketball took the city by storm and Abdul-Jabbar was at the center of it all, literally. Finally, the adidas Forum Legacy, an all-Black and Copper colorway, pays respect to Abdul-Jabbar’s life commitment to the fight for racial equality and social justice.
The entire collection, in size 16, will be signed by Abdul-Jabbar himself and on display in the arena for every home game throughout the month of February – and raffled off for charity.
Only 33 pairs have been produced in each design, 33 being Abdul-Jabbar’s iconic jersey number. The ‘Evolution of Excellence’ Forum Collection will debut on February 28th at select retailers and adidas.com.
