adidas Basketball and adidas Originals are releasing shoes inspired by the NBA's All-Time Leader in Points, Field Goals and MVP Awards, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. They're releasing them in time for this NBA All-Star Weekend, which again pays homage to the man who also leads the league in All-Star Game Selections and Games Played.

Dubbed "The Blueprint", the line inspired by Kareem is so far for two limited edition shoes. You have the Crazy 8 "The Blueprint" colorway for basketball, as tweeted by @adidasBasketball below:

You also have sneakers inspired by retro basketball shoes in "The Blueprint" Jabbar Hi, which are going to be released by adidas Originals. Kareem himself tweeted this photo:

The shoes will be available at the adidas in the Quarter store in New Orleans. The Crazy 8s will also sell online.
