    The white/black and all black colorways were my favorite pairs to both hoop in and wear casually back in the day since they were so comfy so I've been waiting a long time for this retro, but so disappointed they got rid of the real DMX technology and went so cheap on the materials... guess I'll just have to keep hunting for OG pairs on eBay (got the white/black and maroon colorways so far, but still need the all blacks). Thanks for the great (and hilarious) review, as always!

    It’s a bummer about the tech and the materials Reebok used. I’m still going to get these because AI was my favorite player growing up, and these were one of his shoes from his line I didn’t get a chance to grab when I was a kid

    Answer 3 was retro’d the first time as a team shoe on Eastbay in the late 2000’s. When they went on clearance I purchased a bunch of different big kids sizes for $19.99 for my son.

      Exactly‼️ this is not the first time they have been retroed... I had 2 pairs of these I bought about 12 years ago and I still have a pair of them today. The first time they were retroed they had the air transfer system in them, and they are a great lightweight shoe with less rubber in the bottom. Reebok was ahead of its time with these. Shame they cut corners, especially since they're still charging full price.

    These were my first pair of Iverson’s. Dragged my mom through every store in the mall trying to find this red pair, but in hindsight I don’t think the red pair was ever released in kid’s sizing. The white/black colorway went better with my team jersey anyways.

    I have been rooting for Reebok for years. When I was a kid, The Pumps with the ERS system were my favorite, then I had a pair of lowtop black gum bottom above the rims, and an Air Jordan 11 esque pair of Reeboks called the Strafters. Reebok was iconic. I hope that they can come back with better quality.

    I use to hoop in the White/Black colorway when they originally released. AI's line for me personally were the most comfortable kicks to hoop in back then.
    With all that being said, I no longer hoop like that anymore, and I only cop Retros for nostalgia and casual wear. So these are definitely getting copped if/when they drop in the U.S.

BTW, these could be the best materials, have the pods, the best insoles and everything u want and they'd still not be popular in the states. Future looks bright, "In Shaq we trust".

I'm just happy I get a chance to try to collect all his shoes. The next colour I'm looking for will be the black and whites that was the better colour to me . I think they are testing the waters with this, so let's see what happens they cone out on November 10th in the states

And I was speaking to someone else on the post saying rumors said that this guy said he wrote for Shyheim alittle. And Shyheim confronted me asking does he sound like the guy he worked with no. So as a die hard fan of his Im only telling him what I’ve heard and I respect him. All he said was ask “Doggie Diamond” about the situation about me and the guy we squashed that water under the bridge. But I just wanted to know the truth that’s all. And went back to continue talking to whoever in the comments and said “this is why they tell us to never idolized people we look up to.” And he took down the whole post because that shit.

    I was disappointed when the Answer 1 red/white released recently with the painted on gold nail polish instead of the plastic pieces and took away the translucent gold pods. Seem like Reebok is following Nike.

    Never had these, I had the Answer 2 back in the day with the foam & DMX and the were the most comfortable & lightest ball shoes i every wore & played in. I'd Reebok kept the retros when the same quality they would've still be popular among ballers cuz the comfort was better than alot of Nike's and even a jordan iwore. &i i bought 2 pairs of $40 Reebok cloud ride 4with DMX, so why they can't put it in these Answer 3, is beyond me, those cloud rides were one of the comfortable shoes i ever wore, so much so, I bought one for my girl too. I thought leaving Adidas would stop the self sabotage. Guess i was wrong. To me they should retro the 10 as they were the best performing answers & the 13as they were quite fashionable & styles timeless to me
