Reebok Iverson Retro Collection: ?, Answer 1 & 4 Out, SAMPLES SAMPLES SAMPLES...

[TURBO UNO]

Those hybrids look like football cleats
They could've come up with a great Answer 1 colorway with those soles/midsoles and they wasted them on this? Aww man

 

[Dubby]

You know what? They give me more of a Question 2 then a Q96 vibe

I feel you, the build quality looks good. I'm just not a fan of the styling.

 

[Dubby]

Same bro. I just dont think i can get behind these joints. The silhouette of the answer makes to be a shoe that doesnt need pull tabs for starters.

more i see the LESS i like, still would cop that light blue pair pictured earlier

 

[TURBO UNO]

I love Reebok and A.I. is my all time favorite....but these look like duds to me and I hate saying it. The shoes look more like Turf shoes from the 90s and I have yet to see a colorway that makes them look good because the upper design doesn't allow for good color blocking. There's no sleekness or anything that makes you think of speed....in fact the opposite. I could totally imagine these being part of Shaq's signature line up with Reebok.

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

BINGO !!! couldnt put finger on it, TURBO UNO nailed it, looks like a SHAQ shoe, big tyme !

I do LOVE the back of the tongue though.... THE STRONG SURVIVED

 

[Hahahaha]

Wow, remind me of the old Emmitt's mixed with the Answer.

They're not bad though, I don't mind them. They have a real 90s RBK vibe to them.

 

[Captain Slappy]

Not a fan of that hybrid.
Specific shoes id buy from the entire line at this point

 

[Hahahaha]

Crazy these are 21 years old and still going strong. Still real comfortable and the leather is great. Damn shame shoes don't feel like this anymore.

 

[vood99]

These Iverson fusions/hybrids are like the Mobius fusions/hybrids - they have the period correct look down pat, but you gotta ask yourself what's the overall point?

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

Hahahaha

 

[EZMONEY SERVANT]

reminded me of these at work 2dAI

fallin outta favor quick with me, got a pair red patent leather 1's from ebay

 

[vood99]

Just seen this pic online, 3s are probably coming.

trentbg have you heard anything about the Answer III coming out at all this year? Sample picture made the rounds (for all of 5 minutes) earlier on in the year and then went cold right after.

Would be a damn shame if they scrapped it in favour of some hybrids/fusions.

I don’t know if this was posted, or if this is the right place. I guess they are calling these the 4.5

 

[freakydestroyer]

*facepalm*
They okay I guess... but is it too hard to stick to the basics?

 

[Captain Slappy]

Lets remove the most iconic feature from the iv, as if dmx foam wasnt a down grade enough.
Holy cow those are bad. When you detune the shoe all thats left is aesthetics. Why then detune the aesthetics.
Garbage

 

[Hahahaha]

They're not bad, the problem is people want quality retros. If they dropped quality 4s and then dropped these as the 4 remix after in a dope color, people would cop them.

 

[SC kid]

If u remove the I3 logo those look like Reeboks they sell at sears

They will be coming sometime next year

I don't think it's even quality retros will get consumers to buy Reebok retro at MSRP. The brand's too irrelevant at this point and would need a major investment and/or marketing blitz from Adibok.

This fusion/hybrid strategy is nonsensical but I guess they need product for the hash/back wall at the outlets.

 

[Hahahaha]

Another pair of OGs, I desperately need to find the all red Taiwan exclusive pair. One of the last shoes on my holy grail list, hopefully I find them one day.

 

[SC kid]

How wearable are og answers?

Like do u have to be careful ??

That's 20 years.
I'd cop an og pair if I can wear them without worrying

 

[Hahahaha]

I've worn my white/red pair mad times in the last few years and no issues. Navy pair have only been worn 5-6 times in 21 years and both pairs seem like they're gonna last forever. Quality, material and comfort is mad nice. I try not to wear any of my 15+ year old shoes when it's real hot outside. I think that's what ****ed up my Air Max 2000s, wore them on a day it was like 99 outside. SMH

 

[vood99]

SC kid try to find a VNDS pair if possible. As Hahahaha said, even a handful or less of wears in 10+ years can make a difference with longevity.
