It’s been years since the last retro of Allen Iverson’s Reebok Answer IV and this latest build is a tribute to 2001 A.I.
Considered one of the better performing models from Iverson’s signature line — and one of the most unique — this limited edition Answer IV features Iverson’s mantra and infamous tattoo “Only the Strong Survive” on the outsole in the same script.
Additionally, a black and white imprint of A.I.’s face is set into the heel; he’s rocking cornrows and a headband, a look he made iconic back in the early 2000s. The leather upper is broken up by Rivet Grey and red accents.
This retro utilizes full-length DMX Foam cushioning and a 3D Ultralite rubber outsole to save weight (although the sneaker weighs a hefty 14.3 oz.).

This limited edition Reebok Answer IV is available now at Eastbay.com for $150 in sizes 7 to 15.
I have the black and white pair. This colorway is next!
Yep, they’re just like the pair I have.
