Blast from the Past: Reebok Revives the Answer III for a Nostalgic 2000s Vibe

Reebok is taking a trip down memory lane with the rerelease of the iconic Allen Iverson signature shoe - the Answer III. This retro basketball sneaker is all about capturing the aura of the early 2000s, when Iverson was dominating the court with his signature style and attitude.

The Reebok Answer III first debuted during Iverson's fourth NBA season in 1999-2000, the year he earned his first All-Star selection. It played a crucial role in expanding his signature line, even being worn by the Michigan State Spartans during their NCAA Championship run that same season.

For this latest release, Reebok has given the Answer III a fresh "Black/Chrome/Energy Red" colorway. The upper features a combination of black suede and metallic textile, giving it a sleek and premium look. The signature "I3" jewel appears on the heel, while updated DMX cushioning ensures court-worthy performance.

The pops of "Energy Red" on the tongue and outsole tie back to the classic 76ers "Away" uniforms that Iverson helped make famous during his time in Philadelphia. This nostalgic color scheme perfectly encapsulates the early 2000s aesthetic that made the Answer III so iconic.

Reebok's continued commitment to Iverson's legacy, alongside Shaquille O'Neal's involvement, is a clear sign that the brand is serious about reclaiming its place in the basketball sneaker market. The rerelease of the Answer III gives fans a chance to relive the glory days and rock a true piece of basketball history.

The "Black/Chrome/Energy Red" Reebok Answer III is available now on the Reebok website for $140 in unisex sizes. Don't miss your chance to add this retro baller to your collection and channel the aura of the 2000s.
