This week on "What are Those" I am bringing to you one of the reasons I play basketball. He was a inspiration to most young hoopers growing up in the 90s. Allen Iverson is one of the first under 6 foot killers in the NBA. He brought the urban street swag to the professional side of the NBA.
He brought Hip-Hop music to the sports world because everyone wanted to be like A.I. And that’s what this shoe is all about. His most popular shoe, the "Reebok Question," was made in so many different colorways and variations of high-tops and low-top sneakers.
This specific shoe released February 13, 2015. Even with this shoe being under the Reebok brand, it is arguably one of the top 25 shoe models to release as a casual or a on-court shoe. Thank you A.I. for inspiring many hoopers like myself and kids all over the world to be like you.
I'm not huge on shoes as far as buying 100 pairs for whichever reason, I usually stick to Vans, Converse, and Addidas and that's about it. I never thought of ever looking into the history or backstory of shoes and reading this has actually got me a bit intrigued to do so! It's amazing that something so simple to most people has had such an impact on you. That's a rare thing but definitely unique. I look forward to seeing what other shoes you have for us in the future! I'm sure I'll end up wanting to buy something that you post lol
