Reebok continues to revive its basketball legacy by reintroducing a classic. The Reebok Answer III, one of Allen Iverson’s most iconic sneakers, returns in a sleek Black, Chrome, and Energy Red colorway. Originally released during the 1999-2000 NBA season, this shoe holds historical significance. Iverson wore it during his first NBA All-Star season, and Michigan State’s NCAA Championship team also sported it.

Staying true to the original, this retro release features premium black suede overlays and metallic textile panels. These materials give the shoe a mix of luxury and sportiness. The iconic “I3” branding appears on the tongue, heel, and lateral side, preserving its classic identity. Red accents on the tongue and outsole add contrast, inspired by the Philadelphia 76ers’ away uniforms.

Reebok modernized this retro sneaker with enhanced DMX cushioning, ensuring better comfort and responsiveness. Whether worn casually or on the court, it delivers support and durability. The sneaker’s mid-top silhouette provides ankle stability, making it a solid choice for basketball fans and streetwear enthusiasts alike.

This release is part of Reebok’s push to reclaim its place in basketball culture. With Shaquille O’Neal and Allen Iverson leading the brand’s resurgence, Reebok is bringing back fan-favorite silhouettes. The Answer III’s return reinforces the brand’s commitment to its basketball heritage while introducing a new generation to Iverson’s legacy.

The Reebok Answer III “Black Chrome Energy Red” is available now on Reebok.com and select retailers. Given Reebok’s recent momentum, this drop is expected to sell out fast.

Fans and collectors should act quickly to secure a pair before they’re gone. Stay tuned for more upcoming Reebok retro releases as the brand continues its revival in the basketball world.
