The Official Reebok Question (A.I.) Thread.

[atribefan92]

People on ebay charging well over $140 for the suede ones SMH

 

[160jordansdeep]

im not sure if i'm going to cop

i not running around like i do for jordans for reebok's

i still got my white/royal blue pair dead stock from a few years ago

and a used pair of the white/red

under $100.00 and i'll eat my words OR my questions from a few years age run big so i do need a size down so who knows if i can walk into a strore any buy them with ease 
i might give in if i could

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Well hell. If its gonna be limited count me out. I hope those Answer IVs will be GR because I need a new pair. I ran through my last pair.

 

[dmxfury]

Eh we will see if the market supports the pricing Rbk is putting out. As of now 'we' haven't set prices there for this shoe. It annoys me Rbk only tweets about fitness and ignores a great release like this

Nike and JB taught you well.



In the original cost of sneakers, product and development and marketing factor in. In retros there's almost none of that. That's the most expensive part of creating the shoe. Not having it made in a sweatshop in Taiwan or china.

If that was the case the quality in JB would never had dropped so $*!%!!!! This is simple economics Reebok knows ppl want Iversons but it's not as great as Jordan so what they do, made it a limited drop for those who want it and create a buzz for those that don't and knowing if ppl would pay $200+ on Air Jordan 2012 then $125 is a reasonable price for the Questions with original quality.

JB and Nike's quality dropped because they don't give a %%%%.

Compare that to New Balance. Which typically has Made in England/US alongside their China...sneakers. Quality has remained the same. Why? Because they care.

Nike and JB just know people will continue buying their kicks, so we get the same crap. Does McDonald's improve their menu when sales drop and competition isn't as abundant?

1st thing who the hell wears new balance and secondly no popular athlete I know of is sponsored by them so their quality has to be great for ppl to buy them and the supply & demand for them isn't the same as Nike, JB, or even Reebok in that matte. It's McDonald's is to Wendy's. Wendy's has better food for a lower price but just because of the name they'll go to McDonalds!!!

I had these when they dropped in '96, when I was in HS and these were a phenomenal hooping shoe, these are truly a must cop for me, pure classics in my book.

 

[SC kid]

Times have changed. There was NO hype like this for the last retro. NONE.

 

[dtb00201]

.

 

[dmxfury]

Definitely

 

[xsalvioutlawx]

I want to buy these, but not for retail. I realize Reebok is trying to hype these up and it's the first time they've released with the Pearl toe since the original from what I'm reading, but all the past Question Retros have sat.

What is the difference between these and the Team Question Retro that released in 2010 or 2011 besides the Pearl toe and heel. I forget the actualy year they released but Footlocker had them on sale for like $40 last year.

 

[thegoldenchild]

this is about the only shoe that still makes reebok a little relevant in the shoe game.. cause the zig tech is not really working for them

You must be young.

OMFG the Team Questions were pure ripoffs dude the hexalite(that doesn't do anything) was painted on the bubble not the real thing and it used suede instead of leather on the toe and heel, the quality was BS and I know a lot of ppl aren't getting them so don't worry!!! I'm really happy to see RBK make a comeback with Iversons hoping the All-Star Vs are being retroed.P.S. Yes I'm young but you gotta understand the value of the dollar is going down so prices have to go up so GROW UP THAT'S LIFE!!!

 

[carpediematl]

LMAO I suck at adding pics checkout sole collector for all you AI lovers!!!

 

[jays4days1987]

Not a huge reebok fan, but I've been hearing the buzz about these and also heard they are real comfortable

 

[AEA18]

I see Reebok is taking notes from Nike QuickStrikes

Does anyone else think if these sell well that Reebok might actually retro other players sig shoes(Shaqnosis, Kamikazes)?
Pics from SN

It wasn't painted, it was a rubber material and I can tell from the pictures that these have the exact same thing.

I'm gonna bite the bullet and pay retail. I pay worse for Jordan's and I love reeboks because Iverson was one of my favorite players. Rather just get them and not have to worry about reseller prices. If they go on sale oh well maybe I'll cop a second pair to ball in.

I make money to buy these, but out of principle im not going to pay 25 more dollars out of principle.
Pearlized I dont even know how different that will be.

if i caught one on sale or could use a bday coupon i'd possibly consider

Pearlized = Leather toes




And 125, I can do.

hell, Jordan 3-4's used to be 99 bucks, now we all running out paying 160 retail. Which the quality is MUCH worse.

Shoe was 99 back in 96', now they want 125, I can live with it, especially a shoe/design I love.
Been waiting on leather toes forever.

 

[kpingol27]

[thejrob]

So when do these actually drop? And available online when they do?
