Wasn't nobody rocking Iversons bruh.

That year, wasnt anybody worrying about no damn AI's. Lol @ this imaginary war. Nike was not to be fukked with. I remember being in school that year, and there were too many dope kicks to choose from. These were the top 3 kicks everyone was rocking:

Kids were rocking these more than those AI's too:

Reebok was never a threat to Nike. Nike released these in 96 also...

then these in 97. it really was the golden age for Nike...

 

[sfgiants]

I thought the thread title was idiotic then I read under armour might take down Nike
Last two posts clearly show why nike was and still is unfukkwithable

 

[HHR]

No company will take down Nike in any of our lifetimes. Anyone even considering such is delusional lol

 

[duncanthetall]

Bruh these dropped in May '97...Nike's first $200 shoe... ($180 plus tax)....I graduated high school in '97 and rocked these on the stroll to pick up my diploma...

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

LOL @ Reebok was never a threat.. the Question's were hotter than any shoe but the Jordan's. They were neck and neck with the J's in 96. It never went deeper than that cause they fell off until the Answer 4's, but if Iverson and Reebok had kept coming with heat it would definitely been a problem.

The answers were definitely on par with nikes lots of dudes were rocking those heavy.
And I saw lots of ppl rocking the grant hills and stacks(the B-stars lol)
At one point I was almost gonna get the Shawn kemps....but was given a quick wake up call by my boy and got the penny's instead

During those years it was all about those...low tops(Pumas and Adidas had that came on lock) and tims
