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

Answer IVs were STADIUM STATUS

AI had 1 fukking pair of hot shoes

and they wasnt even that hot honestly

would those 1st AIs even make a top 20 list of athletes sig shoes from the 90s?

i doubt it

 

[Wacky D]

they were never a threat to nike simply because they werent good enough.

iverson was a movement within himself. thats why people flocked to his sneakers. take iverson's name off of there and theyre not nearly as popular as they were.

the questions, answers & all that stuff were cool and all, but you could easily say that grant hill's filas were better. the converse comeback with those late '90s dr js were definitely better.

its not like nike where people who dont even care about jordan have a closet full of his sneakers, because theyre that dam good.

Wasn't Iverson and Reebok the first to embrace hip hop in there commercials?

nah.

but they probably had the 1st commercials that overly-catered to the hood. especially when they threw jadakiss in the mix.

I made the switch from Nike to Reebok mostly becuz of AI and Cash Money to have those soldier ree's

I would eventually come back to Nike but for about 2-3 years Reebok had it on lock.

Come on now. The Iversons were hot but Nike still had , Penny and Vince Carter on their roster to name a few.


was a bigger threat to Nike than Reebok was booming in the early nineties till the Dan vs Dave blunder .

LOL @ Dan vs Dave
Who decided it was a good idea to place faith and advertising funds in a white boy and a mulatto in track & field?

I think I meant like, having the rapper rapping in the commercial.

probably.......unless you count radio commercials. cuz run dmc had the adidas deal.

as for ballers, reebok was actually doing it long before they got iverson if you count radio joints.
shawn kemp & bone thugs. raw as f*ck.
