Is Iverson going to have a sig shoe

[crazy ebw]

I like Kanye though.

And like I just said before, show me a Reebok basketball shoe that performs like the Huarache 08/09 or Zoom BBs. IS there such a model I could try to sway mymind on your favorite company?

I'm not even trying to argue, you're just dodging questions now.

Kid? You're only coming in here only to bash a sneaker brand. How old are you?

AYO WHEN DA ANSWER 12S DROP?ANYONE

 

[zombiejesus12]

^Dude, exactly what I was wondering. Champs (which was said to be the exclusive retailer) doesn't have them either in store or online, and the officialReebok site has random sizes; it's not even a full release. What the holy hell is going on, Reebok? WHY WON'T YOU LET ME BUY THE SHOES?!?!???

I was in here to bash IVERSON's, not the entire Reebok brand, but it turned into that.

Now, i'm just trying to find a better shoe than the ZOOM BB and the HUARACHE 08/09 FROM NIKE but can't do so due to lack of product.

no kidding.. reebok is slackin somethin major right now. i wanted to get a pair for my bball season... we only have 1 regular season game left this weekendbefore playoffs. smh.

 

[zombiejesus12]

So the nearby Champs now has an Allen Iverson display for the Answer XII. I didn't have time to stop in and check it, but it looks like it was just thePistons colorway (white/red/blue). I'm probably gonna cop soon and at least try them on and see how they fit. I'll let you know.

Champs' website doesn't look like it has them online yet, but the official Reebok online store now has more sizes up for sale.

 

[kb8virginia]

Champs at Stonestown Mall here in SF already have them...saw them in person, the white/blue-red colorway. Very simple. Might get other colorways but not thisone

Actually the Answer X is far better than either of the shoes you previously mentioned, The original Answer IV's as well. I liked the ReebokVoyage, Pump Showstopper and the New Answer XII's... if I were to pick a good performing Nike BBall shoe, I'd mention the 2K5 or Lebron 2, those weregreat Nike BBall shoes.

It hasn't had a good start of course, and with such a tumultuous season for Allen that only compounded the problem.

Probably with the trade early affecting the release and all (but no reason I can think of why the Nuggets colors ones didn't just come out if they weresitting around), being delayed until the regular season is nearly over and there's speculation on Iverson's back injury even being legit at this pointand thus he isn't playing right now. (which ties-or proves a sad point to the naysayers- into that IX commercial about the injuries of which are detailedon the insole for effect too, nice touch when I bought and saw it)

But Iverson product sells regardless. Check out how his ASG jersey is sold out everywhere online, everyone else is still in major sizes/runs. And yes,"nobody wears jerseys anymore" and with such a generic design this time around(besides that NBA Jam looking meter bars up the side that could havebeen way better). Fans, collectors, whoever. It sold.

Still they can probably recover from all of it and not turn this into Wade's deal with the 2-3-4, and in one of his best MVP caliber/comeback seasonshe's wearing his OG sigs, preference, superstition, doesn't like the 4, whatever.

Since some Reebok worker bee stepped in, to nobody in particular my quick impressions and some ideas, plausible for the brand or not.

Just fix that DMX air transfer, retro the Answer 1 white/red soles this time around too with that fixed.
Use that I3 pressure, AF1 Mid template Reebok $60-65 shoe, that never goes away - profits. (Or make more of those OTC, "off the clock"lounging/gym/light trainers, no need to put in a ton of development and money into them that gets wasted even if it produces some hot models sometimes."Keep it simple stupid" method since that worked for you guys for a long time.)
Reebok ID site for Questions(1 not the 3 currently avail.), with suede toe option included. Someone loved the JRich worn Mich St. Greens? Let them get it,please.

That'll hurt resale prices(good) but bump up availability(also good) on stuff like that Special Edition, PE, Yellow/Blue 2000 Oakland ASG ones that you seeon eBay sometimes (or even in a Kasier commercial by some old cat hopping around due to his good health), but par for the course.

 

[zombiejesus12]

Well said.

 

[crazy ebw]

Well his jersey isn't the only one sold out, but I see what you were getting at.

 

[jewelzm3]

Reebok original dmx air transfer system is awesome, I don't know why they're not utilizing it in the iverson line. It's such a shame.

Of course not, but in how popular he still is and got voted in from the start of voting in and held that lead even with a move back East-whetherthat helped or hurt due to less quality All Star lv guards as starters whom voters thought were worthy (finally Vince didn't get more than his due). So itcould have sold out quicker, just the point is that it still sold out due to his iconic stature/undue or not.

Didn't mean to repost or sound preachy if you already got it so ignore and its just to clarify if nothing else but taking space as an empty repost.

Lots of sizes went fast after the Answer XII went up on Reebok.com even in only the generic TB like colors and Nuggets, without any advertising.
Huge wait by fans in the know and looking everywhere, all the time for it may have contributed better than advertising could have though.

I also like finally expanding upon Hexalite in not just Question 1 that comes around so often retro and retro lifestyle omni pumps that's usuallyunresponsive/brick hard, into new Hex-Ride so maybe eventually they do get a viable alternative to Nike Zoom(if that's not DMX transfer air in a lowercut/compression), if its feasible for them to want to compete in that arena with Nike or just perfecting their own air system in like Asics Gel runners andforgoing similiar/alternative to Zoom markets altogether. Could be risky without the market share to risk and take big losses on new tech that doesn't getpicked up and is not projected for profit until they do sell a minimum large # of product and simply tread water with things that will be safe and make money.Tough times economy, what're you gonna do. Already way behind Nike, and adidas has more retro product to fall back on, including skate/simple lifestylethat's not retro markets not to mention NBA's current major money exclusive deal.

the answer xiis are actually pretty limited, due to the amount of orders recieved not because reebok is trying keep them, so you'll likelyhave to do some searching to get your hands on a pair...

 

[crazy ebw]

I didn't "equate commericals to quality of product"...just showing that they don't take care of their flagship athlete.

If you honestly think this, you REALLY need to check yourself. The last 3 or 4 pairs of Iversons have been on par with other sigs whether you admit it or not.I like to think, after 25 years of ball and numerous (at least 200) pairs of shoes played in, I have a pretty solid opinion, and since the 8's theIverson's are on point with materials, comfort, and traction. The cushioning may not be Zoom, but it does the job the way it should. But I guess from yourSig. I can see why you hate Reeboks. Have fun getting rid of those over-hyped XV's. Now there was a Starbury copy.
