Reebok Allen Iverson Answer 12
Posted by Nick Engvall | Dec 31, 2008 Hard to believe that Allen Iverson has been putting in work on the NBA hardwood for 12 plus years, even harder to believe this is his 12th signature sneaker. Iverson’s definitely kept the pace on the court with nearly 28 points a game in his career, his kicks have done the same, and we have his latest here.
The Reebok Answer 12 will be hitting retailers shortly in three colorways to match AI’s teams throughout his career. Iverson’s number is stitched into the base of the laces, along with an interesting heel area definitely make these kicks unique. The Nuggets colorway has graffiti print on the heel, while the other two colorways feature the poem Invictus written by William Ernest Henley. Read the poem, and take a detailed look at all three colorways after the break via kenlu. |
On the heel the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley reads…
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.

Jan 11, 2009 at 7:33 pm
THE SHOES ARE SO HOT! ITS TIME FOR AND NBA CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE PISTONS 2009. LOVE YOU AI
Jan 2, 2009 at 12:53 pm
This might be his best shoe since the question by far! The 3’s, 4’s & 5’s were sentimentaal favs because the kind of season he had but as far as how a shoe looks- these aren’t that bad. I agree with the earlier comment that the reebok symbol needs to go lol! (They gotta market their brand- don’t they?)
Jan 2, 2009 at 2:21 am
A.I. need to ink with Nike or JB already cause his line has fallen off.
Jan 2, 2009 at 2:09 am
May cop at least one pair, however, this decision will be made once I see this shoe up close
Jan 1, 2009 at 5:24 pm
ugly
Jan 1, 2009 at 12:59 pm
those sh!tz is garbage..A.I. probably even hates them.
Jan 1, 2009 at 12:35 am
# 21 go and 1 yourself AI had a few alright kicks best line of kicks that’s not named nike… I like his first two the best… I balled in both in middle school and my freshman year as well as the jordan 11’s and 12’s not no retro the originals. Most of you young punks no nothing about kicks so go buy all these wack retro’s that feels nothing like the originals. Happy New Year to my real sneakerheads… Orange bo jackson’s 09!!!
Dec 31, 2008 at 10:32 pm
these kicks are lame like all the other 11. the poem is pretty deep especially the last verse. AI is a pretty good player but his kicks are lame like dwade they get no respect when it comes to kicks.
Dec 31, 2008 at 10:25 pm
Holy Sh1t i just read the poem and its pretty damn deep. Now im definately feelin’ these
Dec 31, 2008 at 10:21 pm
I cant believe AI has made it all the way up to his 12TH shoe. Good for him> especially with all the bad publicity he has gotten over the years. Overall a nice shoe and great colorways.
Dec 31, 2008 at 9:38 pm
that pistons colorway is a player exclusive that customed for AI only
Dec 31, 2008 at 9:26 pm
these are the best ones to me but i feel bad for AI being the messiah of a dying shoe company. i see more people wearing and1 than iversons
Dec 31, 2008 at 9:08 pm
It’s worth copping other than J’s and the Penny 2’s, baby!
Gotta love that!
Dec 31, 2008 at 8:37 pm
76ers colorway is best colorway to me. Nuggets looks too femenine, and Pistons, well they’re ok, it’s got the USA colors, no argument there…!
Dec 31, 2008 at 8:29 pm
reebok stepped their game up on ball kicks, these are actually lookin dope
Dec 31, 2008 at 8:07 pm
THE BACK OF THE SHOE LOOK LIKE SOME SHAKESPEARE!!!!!
(even though shakespeare is pretty fresh, i wouldn’t put that on the back of these kicks, or any shoes for that matter)
A DOLLA FOR A HOLLA
Dec 31, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Not bad kinda nice I wonder how the performance is?
Dec 31, 2008 at 7:23 pm
They also remind me of the questions because os the lace loops and the figure of the shoe.
Dec 31, 2008 at 6:12 pm
it must be the reebok symbol on the front side that just ruins the hell outta it.
Dec 31, 2008 at 6:11 pm
a couple nice features but overall i’m not really digging it.
Dec 31, 2008 at 6:06 pm
I LIKE ALL THEM 3!!!!
A.I “THE ANSWER” 4 LIFE!!!!
Dec 31, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Pistons & Sixers is Nice
Dec 31, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Damn I want all three colorways. Will have to cop as soon as they go on sale. Kudos to Reebok for actually putting out a nice pair of Iverson shoes after a long rut.
Dec 31, 2008 at 4:50 pm
this is the first “Answer” I’ve liked in a while…they remind me of the “Questions”…
Dec 31, 2008 at 4:46 pm
feeling those nuggets and the pistons
Dec 31, 2008 at 4:31 pm
I think these are a nice shoe. I like the pistons colorway the best.
Dec 31, 2008 at 3:20 pm
INVICTUS?!?!
OH HELL YEAH! That Pistons colorway will be mine by summer. I will wait as these will go on sale. A great looks with shorts!
I learned Invictus SPR 00 Beta Zeta represent!
FYI: Henley was the inspiration for the main charcter in Treasure Island.
EARLY!
