UGG has always been an emotional brand because of how it makes you FEEL. We open AW21 with FEEL ____, an ongoing series of stories that inspire us. Leader of culture and champion for change, we feature icon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in our icons like the Neumel, Tasman, and Butte – personifying the feeling of UGG and the products that define us.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is a global icon that changed the game of professional basketball with his trademark “skyhook” shot and community activism. He became one of the most recognizable figures in the civil rights movement, and paved the way for athletes today to use their voice to impact change. During his 20-year career as a center, he was a record 6-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), a record 19-time NBA All Star, a 15-time All-NBA selection, an 11-time NBA All-Defensive Team member, and a member of eight NBA championship teams. Off the court, he’s become a celebrated New York Times-bestselling author, filmmaker, ambassador of education, and Time Magazine columnist.
