Introduced by Reebok<\/strong> for Iverson<\/strong> ahead of his momentous 2000-01 campaign, Answer IV was built to compliment the polarizing point guard\u2019s on-court energy and off-court style, while carrying forward key Answer-series design elements like DMX<\/strong> cushioning. Colorways introduced  by Reebok throughout the season would mark a multitude of historic moments via A.I.<\/strong> Most notable is a specific black\/white iteration, now known as the \u201cStepover\u201d, adorned by Iverson<\/strong> in game 1 of the \u201900-\u201901 title matchup. The moniker nods an historic moment from the game in which A.I.<\/strong> shakes his opponent to the floor with a deceiving dribble move before draining a baseline jumper and stepping over the would-be defender as the crowd erupts and he returns up court. That viral frame, which served to further define Iverson<\/strong>\u2019s vitality and dominance, is remembered through the Answer IV \u201cStepover\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnswer IV is the crown jewel of Iverson\u2019s journey and the cultural shift he helped to lead,\u201d. \u201cBy his \u201900-\u201901 season, \u2018Chuck\u2019 was already so beloved for his style and how he approached the game, but that year truly cemented A.I. as a cultural icon. On his feet, Answer IV became a symbol for the new era of modern athlete and a celebration of self-expression. It is without a doubt one of the most iconic sneakers to ever grace the hardwood.\u201d<\/em><\/p>recalled veteran Reebok Footwear Designer Xavier Jones upon the OG model\u2019s rerelease earlier this year<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The 20th<\/sup> Anniversary reissue stays true its original design elements like the fading gradient \u201cI3\u201d logo cascading down the tongue veiled by the zipper shroud, 3M reflective details returning to the \u201cI3\u201d quarter panels and top of tongue, the original eye-catching upper and a dynamic outsole featuring DMX<\/strong> foam, a TPU bridge plate and tactical tread patterns. The outsole is complemented by OG graphic executions like the Iverson head sunken underfoot, engraved \u201cOnly The Strong Survive\u201d tagline and \u201cI3\u201d and Vector logos at the bridge and forefoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Answer IV carries forward Reebok<\/strong> basketball heritage and the legacy of Allen Iverson<\/strong>, the unique sneaker is equally fitting for rising hoopers today blazing their own trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
