The shoe was Allen Iverson’s tenth signature model (The Question + nine versions of The Answer) and featured Reebok Pump 2.0 technology which automatically inflated around the wearer’s foot for a custom fit within a few steps. DMX foam was used across the midsole and a herringbone pattern design is seen underfoot. The original retail price for the Answer IX was $125 back in 2005.

Last night, Allen Iverson returned to an NBA floor with the same team he started his career with: the Philadelphia 76ers. Leading up the the event, Reebok put out a statement this past week moving up its already scheduled Reebok Question Retro release in time for the event, along with a note saying Iverson would be wearing the original Reebok Question model in his home game debut against the Denver Nuggets. As any sneakerhead who watched the game noticed, Iverson was definitely not sporting his rookie season kicks. Instead, he opted for the White/Blue colorway of his current signature shoe, the Reebok Answer XIII. Continue reading to see more game photos of Iverson in the shoes.

Earlier this week, Allen Iverson announced that he would be coming out of retirement to play for the Philadelphia 76ers – the team where his career began.

Check your local Foot Locker for your chance. Continue reading for more images as well as a video of the crossover on MJ.
