There was a time when it looked like Allen Iverson was gonna single-handedly take down Nike

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

Filas was cool with the older heads back in the day
but reeboks would get you roasted with the quickness
i remember a few kids with the questions
but them 11s were on everyone feet
in school i only wore Barkleys, construct timbs, and wallabee Clarks
i was on a shell toe thing for a minute too
but Reeboks?
naaaaaa
couldnt do it

Iverson joints were hot....but being a threat to Nike?

OP grandstanding

 

[Floyd Pinkerton]

shyt, its starting to look like Under Armor might take down Nike

edit: i remember i had a homeboy and he spotted this kid at the court wearing some Reeboks
my man let this kid have it
it was so random too
they was callin son Reebuttock
honestly i felt bad for that kid
we smoked before we went out but i think my man was just a lil too high or something or maybe had a bad trip
that shyt was foul as hell

I had that first Iverson shoe with the blue color on it. That was the only Reebok shoe that I f*cked with it. I didn't buy rest of it but only staying with Nike.

Yeah everyone rocked the Questions. I loved the answers I had two pair of the first joints and two pair of the answer 4's.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

How did the questions come out at the same time the 11's did? I could I swore I saw that whole Iverson Georgetown team wearing them

I thought I remember both coming out during the 96 season.. but maybe it was the 12's that came out during the 96 season. It must have been the 12's, cause that's what Jordan was wearing when AI crossed him up

I used to ball in the red and white og answers in junior high

They weren't ever gonna take down Nike, but AI's run made Nike switch up their style and cater to streetball and also try to incorporate new tech (e.g. the shox)

AI dropped this ...



Of course Nike had to go out and do this ...

Except for the 1st ones, all them shyts are ugly. 90's babies

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

i had the 3's 5's and 6's had the 4's for game day football spikes jr and sr year
3's and 5's were some of the most comfortable shoes ever

Mr.Robinsons neighborhood
Lil Penny "THATS TYRA BANKS FOOOL!"

Nike was on fire in the 90s

Question was hot but Nike had those Air Penny and Uptempo selling. Question was never a threat to Nike.

 

[Boolean]
