A first for the German-based company, this limited edition offering revolves around African-American heritage\u00a0and details that provide a step-by-step journal\u00a0through the four most important eras of Kareem\u2019s legendary and monumental basketball tenure.<\/p>\n<p>The four-piece collection consists of the J Wall 1, D Rose 5 Boost, D Lillard 1 and the Crazy 8. Each model features a foundational theme and comes fashioned in sepia tones coupled with its own unique inspiration quote. adidas athletes will wear the collection on Martin Luther King Jr. Day games on January 19th, and during select games throughout the month of February to pay homage to African-American culture and role models like the one many athletes share in Kareem.<\/p>\n<p>The collection drops at adidas.com with the Crazy 8 ($110) launching January 23, J Wall 1 ($115) and D Rose 5 Boost ($140) on January 30 and D Lillard 1 ($105) on February 6. A portion of the proceeds from this inaugural Black History Month Collection will be donated to Kareem\u2019s Sky Hook Foundation, created to enhance the lives of unprivileged youth.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>adidas Black History Month Collection<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><strong>Crazy 8<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cFundamentals are the Foundation for Excellence \u2013 \u201861 \u2013\u201865\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><strong>J Wall 1<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cRules are What Make the Game Challenging \u2013 \u201965 \u2013 \u201869\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>D Rose 5 Boost<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cThe Hook Shot is Worth a Thousand Words \u2013 \u201969 \u2013 \u201875\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>D Lillard 1<\/strong> \u2013 \u201cWhen the Music Changes, so Does the Dance \u2013 \u201975 \u2013 \u201889\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With inspiration from the NBA&#8217;s all-time leader scoring and one of its\u00a0most prominent philanthropists and thought-provoking leaders,\u00a0adidas and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":137731,"featured_media":427211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,1204837],"tags":[],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) -
