Allen Iverson’s signature shoe line is the second longest in the history of the basketball sneaker market. Still running strong after 12 years the unveil the next installment of the line to be worn by the Denver nuggest guard. Here is our first look at The Answer XII which will be lighter than the heavier set shoes allen has been wearing the last few seasons.
It is hard to believe that Allen Iverson has been in the League since 1996. It seems like yesterday Iverson was playing in the Big East tournament against Ray Allen in Madison Square Garden. For 13 seasons we’ve watched Allen tear the NBA up. Iverson has one, if not the most loyal fan bases a professional athlete can have.
The Reebok Answer 12
Even through the tough times A.I.’s fans ride out for him. The Answer’s ride throughout his career as an NBA player has been a journey that not too many can say they have been on. Reebok tried to emulate that with Iverson’s latest signature shoe, the Answer 12. The back of the A12 has an excerpt from the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley (if you’re in a black fraternity then you know this poem very well!). Invictus has been very instrumental in Iverson’s life. The poem speaks on how one is the master of their fate and the captain of one’s soul.
Notice the three different color-ways. The first colorway, black-red-white, is inspired by the Philadelphia 76ers. The second colorway, baby-blue-white-yellow, is inspired by his days as a Denver Nugget. The third colorway is obviously the colors of his current team, the Detroit Pistons.
There is an elegant TPU heel graphic plate that features a poem by British poet William Ernest Henley, called Invictus. The prose describes Allen Iverson’s dedicated on-court attitude and relentless will to win.
Expect to see the Reebok Answer 12 on shelves during NBA All-Star Weekend for $100.00

Dwayne Wade
Dwayne Wade Shoes
Basketball superstar Dwayne Wade and Converse team up to make a
new generation of signature shoes.
Dwyane Tyrone Wade, Jr. (born January 17, 1982) is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Miami Heat in the National Basketball Association (NBA). His nicknames include "Flash" and "D-Wade". Wade was named 2006 Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated. Despite the unorthodox spelling, Wade's first name is pronounced as Dwayne; often in print media, it is misspelled as such. Wade has established himself as one of the most well-known and popular players in the league. He had the top selling jersey in the NBA for nearly two years, as he led the NBA in jersey sales from the 2005 NBA playoffs, until the mid-point of the 2006-07 NBA season.
After entering the league with little fanfare as the fifth pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, Wade has become one of the most accomplished young players in the NBA today. Having made the All-Rookie team in his first season and the All-Star team the following four seasons, Wade led the Miami Heat to their first NBA Championship in franchise history in his third pro campaign. He was named the 2006 NBA Finals MVP as he led the Heat to a 4–2 series win over the Dallas Mavericks. At the 2008 Summer Olympics, Wade led the United States Men's Basketball team, commonly known as the Redeem Team, in scoring, as they captured gold medal honors in Beijing, China.
2006 NBA Finals
In his first trip to the NBA Finals, in which Miami faced off against the Dallas Mavericks, Wade had some especially memorable moments. His performance in games three, four, and five, in which he scored 42, 36, and 43 points, respectively, helped bring the Heat back from a 0–2 deficit to lead the series at 3 games to 2. In Game 3 Wade tied his career playoff high with 42 points and grabbed a career high 13 rebounds. 15 of his 42 points came in the fourth quarter, in which the Heat erased a 13 point deficit over the final 6:34 with a 22–7 run which included a go-ahead jumper by NBA veteran Gary Payton that sealed the win. The Heat went on to win Game 6, taking the series 4–2, and Wade was presented with the Finals MVP trophy. He became the fifth youngest player in NBA history to capture NBA Finals MVP honors and recorded the third highest scoring average by a player in his first NBA Finals with 34.7 points per game. His PER in the NBA finals was ranked by ESPN's John Hollinger as the greatest performance in NBA Finals history.
Wade was a member of the 2004 US Olympics team with fellow NBA All-Stars LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony. The team competed in the 2006 FIBA World Championship in Japan, in which Wade averaged 19.3 points per game. The team won a bronze medal, which disappointed many USA fans who had hoped for a return to the days of the original "Dream Team".
Wade was named to the USA Men's Basketball National Team from 2006–2008. He was named co-captain of the 2006 team, along with James and Anthony. In 2007, due to injury, Wade was unable to compete at the Tournament of Americas Olympic Qualifiers, where the United States compiled a 10–0 record and qualified for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China.
At the 2008 Olympics, the United States went unbeaten and earned gold medal honors, defeating the 2006 World Champion Spain in the final. Wade led the team in scoring throughout the tournament and tallied a game high 27 points in 27 minutes on 75% field goal shooting and added 4 steals, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in the game. For the tournament, he averaged a team high 16 points in 18 minutes on 67% field goal shooting, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.3 steals, as the United States lived up to their Redeem Team moniker and captured gold medal honors for the first time since 2000.

Lebron James Shoes ( King James)

At the tender age of 18, Lebron James inked a $90 million contract with Nike to be the exclusive outfitter of his footwear and clothing needs for 7 years. This was the largest shoe deal ever made and especially for an 18 year old. The first Lebron James shoes were released only months after the deal was made.
The Lebron James shoes deal was far larger than the one Nike made with Michael Jordan. Jordan received only a 5 year, $2.5 million dollar contract. Lebron James earned more than 25 times more per year with his sneaker deal than Jordan did with his Lebron James shoes!
Nike has released 3 models of the Air Zoom Lebron series so far as well as many exclusive Lebron Air Force Ones and a few special edition Lebron James Dunks SB. Keep your eyes open and your wallet full, there are many more exclusive colorways coming out of each model including SVSM colorways of every model of Lebron James
shoes.
The Zoom LeBron VI, This is the 2008-2009 signature shoe made by Nike for the NBA superstar Lebron James to wear in the basketball court, the newest of the signature line, is the most versatile shoe for the most versatile athlete-LeBron James.
At 6-foot-8, LeBron can play all five positions. Basketball players need footwear that is not only cushioned but also durable and needs to last the length of the season. The Zoom LeBron VI not only has a full-length Nike Zoom unit in the midsole for the ultimate responsive ride, but also has Nike Zoom double-stacked in the heel. The cushioning system helps the forefoot for transition when jumping. Deep sipes in the shoe allow for natural motion, which means the shoe works with the athlete's movement, rather than against it. On the collar, graffiti art highlights LeBron's mantras-passion, family, winning, fearless, and vision.
The new Zoom LeBron VI:
* Lightweight natural motion outsole
* Carbon-fiber cup in the heel for stability
* Double-stacked Nike Zoom in the heel
* Full-length Nike Zoom
Zoom Lebron V
To say that LeBron has a hand in the making of his shoe is like saying he had a
hand in beating Detroit in Game 5. At the end of the season, he gives Nike
instruction on what improvements he needs. And Nike ends up with a shoe with the
same versatile and dynamic qualities as the superstar it's designed for.![]()
Zoom Lebron V Features:
* Style: He demands this shoe looks as good off the court as it plays on. So we designed the full-grain leather to overlay around the LeBron V logo, and the lion symbol on the tongue for a look that's purely him.
* Dependability: Someone who has two cities relying on him needs his own strong base to depend on. We secured his foot with a removable hook and loop closure inside a foam collar and fit sleeve. The phyphosite bucket provides lightweight protection, comfort and support.
* Strength: He's strong to the hoop. He's strong when he lands. Let's face it. Dude's a monster. So we constructed the heel counter to stabilize his movement, and the four-stitch construction to reinforce him in with maximum durability.
* Quickness: You don't expect someone that big to be that fast. That's because his speed is equal parts balance, decisiveness and dynamite. For more jet propulsion, we added motion flex grooves and traction patterns on the perimeter to provide grip as he cuts.
* Determination: As a child, LeBron looked at a globe and asked his mother why his hometown of Akron wasn't on the map. At that moment, he made that a goal for his life. To help tell that journey, a map of Akron is designed in the outsole. So now, Mom, it is.
* Explosiveness: Those dunks don't happen by accident. His first step needs to be the last time his defender sees him. So we increased his responsiveness through a carbon-fiber spring plate. And then the full length Zoom Air unit cushions his foot by deflecting impact.
Nike Lebron IV
Put your toes on the free-throw line, dribble twice, and move into the future.
The men's Nike Zoom Lebron IV is tomorrow's basketball shoe built for the
next generation of player, Lebron James. Loaded with ultra-progressive features,
like slow-recovery memory foam in the upper collar for the perfect balance
between flexibility and support, as well as a full-length TPU plate in the
midsole for torsional support during quick lateral movements, this shoe is the
pinnacle of basketball footwear.
Nike Lebron IV Features:
* Foamposite technology in an integrated upper/midsole delivers seamless comfort and support.
* A full-length Zoom Air unit provides the ultimate responsive ride.
* A clear outsole with solid rubber herringbone pods delivers the best in on-court traction.
Zoom LeBron III
The Zoom LeBron III was inspired by the personality and play of the future of the
game - LeBron james. Based on the duality of LeBron's persona- a beast on the
court and a fun-loving jokester off of it- the shoes has captured the essence of
LBJ. For inspiration Nike looked at the athlete and the man, going for a balance
of performance and luxury. The new design of the Nike Air Zoom Lebron III features leather support tabs for
lateral stability when making hard cuts, full length zoom air unit for maximum
lightweight impact protection, a carbon fiber spring plate for a responsive
spring-loaded effect, and a durable rubber outsole and perimeter traction patter
for great traction on side to side moves. The Nike Sphere Technology in the ankle
collar offers comfort and helps manage moisture for those long, pounding games.
Nike Air Zoom Lebron II
The pinnacle of basketball footwear. Created for LeBron James, this lightweight,
comfortable, and aggressive hoop shoe pushes the envelope with innovative
technology and design. Rich, full-grain leather combines with durable ballistic
mesh, topped with an ankle strap for enhanced lockdown. Nike Sphere material
lining and an anatomical sock liner provide the ultimate in comfort, and a solid
rubber outsole with a modified herringbone pattern offers excellent traction.
Nike Air Zoom Lebron I
The first pair of Nike LBJ I were nick named the “First Games”. The color way was
limited and retailed for $115, but it was hard to find a pair after the release for less than $200.
The Air Zoom Generations featured Zoom Air in the heel and forefoot, giving you
a comfortable wear each and every time you slipped them on. Another plus for the
LBJ 1 they are really light weight. Even though the Nike Air Zoom Generation did
not win basketball shoe of the year, (the Nike Vince Carter III won) they
sure were many people’s favorites.
