What up Fam!? Have you ever owned a pair of Reebok x Allen Iverson’s shoes? Which ones did you own!?
NachoAverageFinds I had the answer 4’s. What’s crazy was Im a hardcore Laker fan and instead of getting the Kobe’s like all my friends, I chose these iversons. He’s legit the only player who was never a Laker that’s in my top 5 all time. (Yeah fuck Jordan)
J Bravado There’s a Kobe PE version of the Iverson 4 in a laker colorway. You should check it out!
Literally all of them. Was my favorite player and got every shoe that came out. Even multiple colors of the same shoe. Answer 5 is releasing in August and Kobe actually wore the Lakers colorway in a game.
richv8077 Damn you must have a massive collection!
I actually have some Reebok answer 1s from my uncle.
I remember I was in 6th grade when the Questions came out. My dad bought them for me on day 1. I was on the school bus and high school kids rode the same bus. They took one look at my shoe and went crazy. That was an awesome memory getting to sit in the back of the bus with high schoolers..
Paxton Montgomery 😂😂 I remember by buddy pulling up to the bus stop with em on the first day of school we was drooling 🤤
You lucky you wasnt in New Orleans....those sneakers would have been somebody else's on that same day you brandished them
Same!!! I walked into class on day 1. All the kids ran up to me and were going nuts. I Remember there was a kid with new Dion Sander shoes, they came out around the same time. I took all his hype. Lol.
You're going through.thats wat I want to hear. We will have to low.i hear you. I sent you a number. Just rent the Elder Beerman store on the corner. And the Green Mall property from me.
Meeting with for. Low key. But yeah.yes ma'am. Pink America mason
Growing up my family was poor. The first pair of name brand sneakers I owned the the very first Iverson Answer. The black colorway. I still remember how beautiful of a shoe it was. I still remember the sparkles reflecting in the dmx cushioning system. Soo dope. In the 6th grade my grandmother got me the Answer IV's for back to school shopping. In black/red. The Iverson line had an impact on my life in a positive way. It gave me confidence to come out of my shell and make friends and experience an amazing childhood. Call it sappy or whatever but I fuck with Reebok til this day.
Ha! Dude you weren't poor if you were wearing name brand shoes in third grade. And if you were obviously your parents spending habits were horrible. What a joke.
I used to rock those before. I really wish Reebok would revert back to its vector logo. To me its more synonymous with Reebok. I feel that the Delta logo is odd. It reminds me of Peak.
thepatrickjason Same man! I wish they would go back to the vector logo too. The new one is not doing it for me. Makes them seem cheap
NachoAverageFinds, I feel the same sir. The old logo is iconic and it really is speaks Reebok. Unlike the new logo.
What's the new one look like, I've only known and seen the one with the 3 lines which I think look cool
@@megatronusorionpax4900 i think they are taLking abt the triangLe-shaped one, i agree it Looks cheap
The delta is 🌽 AF
Bring back the vector, or the 🇬🇧
I was a Nike guy, But always had a mad respect toward Reebok. Love the question and answer
reebok classic still hot in Louisiana..I had the Answers the 3s back n the day
The Anti Pac the 3s was dope
Another excellent video. I'm a Virginia resident, so Iverson has been on my radar since his days at Bethel High School in Hampton. He was also an outstanding quarterback and led the Bruins to a state title.
Gunther 8544 haha yeah a lot of people don’t know he was a talented football player too! Thanks for watching man
Absolutely a A.I. Fan He was the reason I started playing and watching basketball. A small player just going up against big players without a hesitation
1:17 looks like the whole Georgetown team is wearing Jordan’s that year
Those were 11s
I had a pair of Questions when I was a young kid. I got them for like $50 at a Ross or some other discount clothing store like that and while I knew they were Iverson’s shoes I had no idea what a gem they would later become.
Never forget this shoe. I was in middle school and everybody had these. Never got them. On my bucket list as an adult now. Thanks for the vids guys. Great channel.
Love getting a knowledge drop off your vids, they’re just so interesting and easy to digest. Thanks guys 👊🏼

I remember rocking the original AI Q's in the late 90's at elementary school thanks to the hammy downs of my brothers. Didn't really know or like basketball much, but definitely knew who AI and how good he was as a kid.
RathDavid Hy He was killing it back then! Crazy how it reached the feet of somebody who didn’t even know it like basketball lol Thanks for sharing 👌
@@NachoAverageFinds DMX Is a good rapper he has his own cushion?

The Question 1 is by far my favorite Reebok of all time!
Probably the most underrated basketball shoe
Fish Drowner aHell Yeah
NachoAverageFinds his shoes look good and iverson played well I feel like no one wore them because rebook made them
Grew up watching Iverson,the questions and the answer IV are my favorite Iverson's

Sebastian Case Thanks Sebastian 💪💪

Mr Half A Pino Thanks bro
I remember playing with my Reebok answer 10 with the zip on top and the pump on the side in 8 grade. People at my school were shock and got a lot of compliments about the shoe. Was a good basketball shoe to.
Fiya 🔥 Questions, Answer 1 and 7 the dopest
Know It 2 Flip It the 7s was crazy underrated your right
Just found your channel thank you for this knowledge bro!
Subscribed bro. Good shit.
If you have ever seen my content you know my tastes have changed but I had two pairs of answer 4s back in the day. And I had a pair of Answer 5's when they released back then. 2 of the best shoes I have ever hooped in. Its an amazing shoe. I'm loving these videos. Thanks for the content.
Brian Johnson thanks for watching I’m give yours a View as well

Had the answer 4s when I was 7 years old. And then had the Answer 9s when I was a little older. Loved both
Everybody had the ais back in da day 🔥🔥🔥 bout to add a pair to da stash
This is an amazing video fam! I love how you included history on Alien Stompers too. I remember wearing Question 1s back in the day. Not the most comfy shoes for people like me with wide feet but they looked so good with great cushioning. I also am a huge fan of the DMX technology. It's still quite up to par with current sneakers.
Five Minute Sneaker TV Thanks for watching yo! DMX tech is super comfortable 🔥
Nice video. I purchased some blue and white Question Low's on my first trip to the US (from Scotland) in 1999. I went crazy buying so many things I couldn't get at home. I also got Some Jordan XIV Indiglo's and an official NBA game ball as well as a North Carolina Football Jersey, a Penny Hardaway Magic jersey,. Oh and I arrived into the US wearing some White and Purple Adidas Kobe II's! Those were the day when my shoe game was strong!
These were the some of the first shoes I copped on my own. I loved the whole series. I have 2 pairs of Questions, and 2 pairs of Answer 4s. Still trying to find a good pair of the 8s
Just bought the answer 1’s early this year. Bought the questions two years ago
Awesome video!
Dario Rolle thanks man glad you enjoyed 🙏
5th grade 2003ish red toes started it all for me... love this vid and actually watching because I found a pair of the OG blue toes 2023 release at Burlington for $40 great shoe one of those IYKYK pairs so hype stays away lol thanks for sharing
Another great vid, thanks again 💯™️
MSotelo503 Thank YOU for watching 🙏

Iverson was by far my favorite player
Dats Wassaname he was fun to watch forsure 😎
Love these Historic Videos
ZT SPORTS thanks man please share if u can
Although I was Always a Jordan and Nike guy back when These Iversons came out.. I bought his first "The Question" and I LOVED wearing them to play Ball in..(had the white and Black ones, 2:35) Especially when I was playing Outside on concrete or Blacktop.. Like when I was playing in "Gus Macker" tournaments.. lol. Anyone remember Gus Mackers? Haha, those were so Fun to play in!! Never tried any other Iversons, just the first release he did.
Had a pair of the Answer in 4th grade black and gold definitely a favorite shoe of mine all time.
Man I remember back in the day everyone in VA had Iversons on. I owned the multiple Questions the Answer 4s and 8s still rock em
Danny G I remember buying the low top questions in yellow
Awesome video.
alex thelizardking Thank you Alex 👍
Yo Vato ! Your knowledge when it comes to sneakers is just too much
Densetsu San haha I’m a sneaker junkie
My brother was a huge AI fan when I was growing up and NEEDED to get a pair of the QUESTIONS when the first came out. Beautiful baby blue!!!! I miss them.
AS ALWAYS THANK YOU 🙏😇🙏
My favorite basketball shoe brand is Reebok & AND1 Reebok needs to come back to the basketball court
Delpriest Stokes Reebok is probably my favorite shoe brand of all time man!
I got the Questions and the answers! Big A.i. fan right here homie
That's what I'm talking about mang!
That beat drop on 2:28!!!!! Any info on the instrumental?
I've had almost every pair of Iverson shoes! I just got the infamous Why Not Us? Black toe Question 1's and I'm getting the black and silver ones this Friday
AI really encourages me when i play basketball.He is a standard of little guy.I really love him, admire him.Hope you AI fans all good.
As a kid I just love to Allen Iverson's attitude on and off the field. He was the first athlete to make stockings on your arm look cool
Wow I’ve never been this early to a vid, umm great work nacho
Henry Orellana What up Henry! Appreciate the support man 💪
All those versions of his shoe, and its really the Question that Blew TF up like crazy lol.
I love these videos sports and business
Nice video
You keep bring the og shoes my man( many respect)🙏👍
Josejr Servin Thank you so much bro! Appreciate you watching 😎
NachoAverageFinds you the best youtuber to talk about shoe history . much love my man 🙏👍
I had his all black iversons they were such good shoes. Weighed less than a pound and felt so great... And they were super durable
Can't remember which one they were but I got em around 2000 and another one a few years later that were the 2000 ones
Just scored some pearlized blue-toes 🔥💯💛 (the Jordan crossover 💯) Just wish Rbk still used OG (real) hexalite in the retros. AI was always my favorite growing up, cut lawns all summer to get some OG Questions back in the day.
I can still remember watching live on TV that NBA finals against LAL ...oh yeah, and that Ty Lue stepping over
Wow! Mindblowing!
Neon REd I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Allen Iverson is the best. I have a pair of his Reebok Questions in My favorite color way. He's a Legend. Love this dude.
I love the answer 4!
Bubba Chuck. My sister went to HS with him back in the early 90’s before he got in trouble. He was actually a better QB than he was at bball but his size made it almost nearly impossible for him to have a long sustained career so he chose bball. He won states in football and I truly believe if he came out today he could play in the nfl. (The nfl is nowhere near as brutal as it used to be, therefore smaller guys like Kyler Murray and Russell Wilson can play.
I had some light blue Questions in high school, they were dope AF. Big fan of A.I.
You were a fly dude in High School lol Yeah same here man. AI was incredible.
@@NachoAverageFinds He's one of top 3 favorite players alongside MJ and Tim Duncan. Love this series you guys are doing, keep up the great work.
Only Reeboks I have ever owned was a pair of integras around 1991 lol they were some killer shoes .
nickel mickel haha Time to get back on your Reebok game 🔥
Man when I was in elementary school the answer ones came out I wanted the black and gold ones so bad but one of my friends got them first so I got the all blue with white accents ones those shoes were some of my favorite childhood shoes
The Reebok questions are my favorite casual shoes of all time.
Ppl sleep on A.I shoes
Dj kevo3 I know! Haha Good for us though 😎
Dj MobStars I do because they aren’t the best looking but they are better than the air Jordan 17
Facts the question are up there with the 11s truly underrated. Kicks and i still hoop in them
I love these shoes. I had a pair as a kid. I had all white ones. This is such a iconic shoe. I had Iverson everything. Shoes, clothes, sleeves, headband. I was iversoned out as a kid. I love that rebook still sells this shoe. It’s prolly done amazing things for them $$$ wise. The streets love this shoe. Sneaker heads love iverson in general. He’s iconic in every way.
I have a pair of the Reebok "Pumps' in this line of AI shoes. It is one of the best looking pair of sneaks I own. I have had it for years but have rarely ever worn it but when I do I always get comments on it! It remains the only pump in the line and on the basketball where it usually says "pump" these say "question"
The X Pump red are my favorite IA Shoe. Let me know if you find a pare size 9
IamFenix Yee yee Those are dope
Great shoe's great video 👍
Appreciate that London!
My mom bought me and my brother a pair of the questions each when they first came out.i had the them white with the red reebok logo and the pearlized navy blue toe cap with the honeycomb on the side.it funny how we called the cushions honeycomb back in the day.
I have the Questions 1 mid panini , got them for 60 bucks what a steal man
NACHO killing it. I owned the Question Easter’s at one point, sold them for a pretty penny cause they were too small for me!
SRK I remember those they was nice appreciate you watching the videos 😎😎
damn you....! last thing i did yesterday was watch this video, first thing i did today was to buy a pair of Questions ....
The Answer 3 is actually fire af
I had a pair of Question red toe mids back in highschool in 2000. I used to wear it with our cheerleading uniform because our school colors were the same.
Chauntel Shannon LoL that’s dope
@@NachoAverageFinds please do an episode on the history of Nike Foamposites. They are my favorite basketball sneaker ever!
@@keelyleilani1326 That's a great video idea. Thank you! Def will start researching :-)
Gotta get me some of his shoes to my collection retro are awesome
One of my favorite classic hoop shoes of all time i still hoop in them
what a wonderful pairs of kicks were the stompers...
Good video
Viva México y Todo El Mundo thanks compa
I brought my first parent High School and just recently another pair 20 years later my favorite shoe ever
I just copped a pair of Question Mids in B&W for $50.00 from Shoe Carnival.
answer 4's was my first basketball shoes those shoes made me love shoes
Man the question is my all time favorite shoe ever I have em in every color plus AI is favorite player 🙌
Just recently copped Answer 6’s black and white dead stock. Shoe I had as a 7th grader. Wearing them on my wedding day!
i've always dreamed about having my own signature shoe from Reebok
I have Question & Q96.
Q96 was so comfort to fit on for basketball.
Need more retros of these
Hell yeah! Can't get enough of them lol
I have the Questions both blue tip and red & the Answer's from the iconic step over vs Tyrone lue 💯
You must mean AJ11 instead of 6 on 2:36 mark, & it’s not just the ghillie lace system that took inspiration from the 11s. The colorway you used for this video right in the mentioned timestamp and thumbnail shows that the toecap and mudguard took after the 11s. AI loved the 11s when he was in Georgetown (also shown earlier here) & the designers must have used that as a springboard.
Iverson was my favorite player. When everyone wore J’s, I wore Iversons. I had the Question 1 and Answer 1-4. The Answer 2’s were absolute trash to play basketball in though. You would slide all over the court in those foam soles.
Yo, getting some of these
Answers 4 were so cool
The answer 4 and 8 🔥🔥🔥
i had some like 4-6 years ago the white and black ones they were comfortable asf
All these Iverson shoes had a great look. I had one yhat isn't in this video.
