On June 6th, 2001 for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Allen Iverson stepped over Ty Lue after sinking in a 20 foot jumper that put Philly up by 4 and gave Iverson 48 points in the game.

Paying homage to that iconic moment, Reebok is planning to re-release the shoes he was wearing in the game, the Reebok Answer IV Stepover.

The shoes will re-release in its OG construction, with a Black and White premium leather upper on top of a Black sole unit featuring the patented DMX cushioning system. A zippered shroud covering the lacing system and an image of Iverson on the outsole surrounded by the phrase “Only The Strong Survive” provide the defining details on this innovative design.
