After the entire NBA passed on his services, we were sure we saw the last of Allen Iverson in the NBA. However, a momentous return to Philadelphia during the Sixers’ recent run in the 2012 Playoffs and Iverson’s involvement in the re-release of the Reebok Question as ‘The Answer’ back in the limelight once again. Reebok’s plan of re-introducing the Reebok Answer line begins with the Answer IV; like we attribute Michael Jordan’s shoes to his own special occasions, NBA fans of the immediate post-MJ era will liken the Answer IV to that surprising 2001 NBA Finals, when the heavily unfavored Philadelphia 76ers defeated the juggernaut Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1. Allen I poured in 48 points (with the two most emphatic ones coming over a pesky Tyronn Lue) while wearing the White/Black colorway of the Answer IV, and you can relive that moment in ‘Answer’ history by copping the IVs right now at Packer Shoes ahead of the August 10th release date. A detailed gallery with a video of Iverson’s ‘Step’ over Lue is below, so take a look and cop your Answers now!

The Reebok Answer IV in white/black will is set to arrive next Friday, August 10th, delivering a slice of basketball history that may be even harder to swallow for the perpetrated player than those Craig Ehlo specials were earlier in the year. The move in question is AI’s crossing of former LA Laker Tyronn Lue in the 2001 NBA Finals, wherein Iverson stepped right over Lue after making the move and the subsequent shot to add on a little exclamation point (all while wearing this very sneaker). Click through with us to check out a huge gallery of the Reebok Answer IV and let us know if you’re feeling this upcoming Reebok retro in the comments below, and stay tuned for the release date set for August 10th.

Just yesterday we delivered the word that the Reebok Answer IV retro is indeed right around the corner, with the sneaker set to hit stores a little over a week from now on August 10th. The pair comes as the second awesome Reebok retro in the AI line for this year, following up the return of the OG colored Reebok Question with the silhouette worn by Iverson during his 2001 MVP season that took him all the way to the NBA Finals with the 76ers. Today we’ve got a little more insight into how the release will go down as news of the original white and red colorway will also be joining the ranks of that black and white. Click through with us to check out the full shots and let us know which pair you’re looking forward to more, and we’ll keep you updated on the release date of the White/Red colorway.

The ‘Reebok Back’ campaign’s main course of action is to go ‘back’ in time and re-issue some of its late great models, and after receiving a nice preview of what Reebok has planned for 2012-2013, it appears that the sneakerhead community is ready for a Reebok Classics renaissance. One of the models of that 2012-2013 preview was the Reebok Answer IV, which some consider to be one of the best Answer models of the entire Allen Iverson lineage; it appears that the wait won’t be as long as we originally anticipated, as TheDonDrew confirms a release date for the Answer IV for August 10th at Reebok retailers like FinishLine. Will you follow up your Question Mid pick-up by copping the Answer IV? The White/Black colorway is confirmed for a return on 8/10 so check back with us for more updates on Reebok’s retro push.

Imagine if Nike Sportswear hadn’t issued hardly any of its 1990s classics, then suddenly, BAM! — a torrent of Jordans, Air Maxes and signatures that’d leave longsuffering sneakerheads in tears. That’s kind of like what’s going on right now under Swizz Beatz‘ supervision at Reebok, as the Vector brand is finally bringing back some of its most memorable silos of the past two decades. It started last year with the Shawn Kemp-inspired Kamikaze III, a descendent of the Reebok Kamikaze II that’s now getting a proper retro treatment along with a couple of Allen Iverson’s signatures. AI’s ‘Pearlized Red’ Question is on display with the OG blue colorup soon to follow, which will be joined by the Answer IV in one of that model’s many (many) first run styles. And on the running/training side of things, we’re about to be blessed with Emmitt Smith’s EM22 and the original DMX Run (suggesting a future release for it’s DMX-debuting counterpart, the Answer I?). Have a peek at Reebok’s upcoming Retro Sport collection after the jump, let us know which of these classics you’re most excited to own and if there’s another RBK model you’d like to see return (Swizz promises “Shaqs also” soon), and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for release info.
