End of an Era: The 13 Best Allen Iverson Shoes

Posted: 06 Sep 2010 11:28 AM PDT

Allen Iverson Reebok

Back in 1996 Reebok took a chance on a brash Virginian out of Georgetown to carry their brand and basketball line. Despite his checkered past and unwillingness to be what the league or world wanted him to be, Reebok signed a young Allen Iverson to a 10 year $50 million contract. His debut shoe the Question was a success and one of the few times a rookie sported a signature sneaker in their season opener. From then on they would release a series of Answer sneakers each season and Bubba Chuck would re-up with Reebok signing a lifetime contract with the brand. Over the weekend a source at Reebok confirmed that the infamous Reebok Answer line has ended with no more new models to follow. With the Answer 13 being the last model made for Iverson we recount the 13 best Iverson shoes from Reebok.

13. Reebok Answer IV White/Black

The Reebok Answer IV was one of the best looking and best performance models featuring full length DMX cushioning and zip-up closure. Iverson would wear this model in the 2000-01 season where he would lead the league in scoring and win the MVP Award. He also was voted a starter in the All-Star Game where he would take home game MVP honors. While AI accomplished a lot in the AIV, this colorway will best be remember for his stepping over Tyronn Lue during the Game 1 victory in the 2001 NBA Finals.

With that said, check out these detailed photos of the all-black colorway of LeBron’s eighth signature sneaker. The all-black color makeup is constructed of multiple textures. Specifically, the black flywire is noticeable in two distinct areas, while the predominance of the base is materialized of leather. Other features include black nubuck (midfoot area), black laces, a black visible Air sole unit, and the lion head LeBron James logo on the tongue. View detailed photos.

In Retrospect: Nike Dunk Hi AC TZ

In Retrospect: Nike Dunk Hi AC TZ

It was a year ago that the first in a long line of Nike kicks featuring autoclave soles hit retail. Debuting the new look was a twosome of Dunk Highs in monochromatic canvas builds. These Dunks must have been a hit despite their simple design, as they came and went quickly from the handful of shops that own Tier Zero status. Since this release, we’ve seen a number of classic silhouettes sport an autoclave sole. Were you able to grab a pair last year? If you wanted a pair but weren’t able to scoop one, is this a shoe that you’re still after?

After re-releasing this sneaker in limited quantity last year, it is ‘Good’ to see Nike re-release it again; this time, making it more widely available. We have seen a ton of Foamposite-themed sneakers this year; however, the “Pearl” Nike Air Foamposite Pro is arguably the best of them all.
