Just reminisce with me here for a minute brehs.. if you are a 90s baby, you can relate to this. I was helping moms clean out her basement last night and found an old pair of my blue and white Question's and it brought back some memories :mjcry:

Reebok Question's

This is the first and only time in my life I can remember a shoe being hotter than Nike's or Jordan's. EVERYBODY at school had these, and if you didn't have em nikkas was lookin at you like :childplease: Of course this was the same year the Jordan 11's dropped, and there were still the Penny's to contend with, so I'm not trying to act like Nike was putting out trash, but at this point there was no doubt in my mind the Question was the hottest shoe of 96. Right here with the hype behind Iverson and how dope these shoes were, it looked like Reebok was gonna crush the game and Iverson was gonna take the mantle from MJ.

Then he dropped the Answer's.... :shaq2:

I actually liked these, and I remember everyone bought these still, but they clearly weren't as hot as the Question's. These were a big, big mistake. People bought em just cause they were the Iverson's, but nobody was really feelin' these like that.

The war was officially over when he dropped these trash ass Payless looking Answer 2's.. :scust:

Now I can't lie.. he did make a comeback with the Answer 4.. these are honestly the hottest Iverson shoes Reebok ever dropped... straight fire, despite the impact the Question's had, and I do remember a ton of people was rocking these, especially because Jordan was retired by this point and the new Air Jordan's he was putting out were trash, but by this point it was just too late.

LOL you didn't get clowned for Reeboks where I was at, but Filas would get you roasted. It went from everybody rocking the first 2 Grant Hills to being an abomination to wearing some Filas. nikkas would spot a kid in school rocking them and scream out "FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'S!" Yelling at nikkas feet while following them up the stairs :russ:
