1996, Iverson was selected to the NBA and signed with Reebok. Reebok was still sober at that time, and Iverson was a brand on the product line.
Really let
This company has one specialty. Question Mid is the first pair of shoes designed by Reebok for Iverson. High design and transparent outsole. The whole pair of shoes adopts Reebok's [Hexalite] technology, and uses the unique hexagonal geometric connection structure to evenly disperse the stress, which has a strong cushioning effect. The back palm is made of a whole piece of honeycomb cushioning material, which completely wraps the sole and side, providing excellent lateral support for left and right lateral movement, reducing the chance of injury and reducing and adjusting the strong impact force. Generally speaking, the performance of this shoe is better than that of later models, and cellular technology is adopted, so it doesn't feel like DMX after a period of use.
question 2
Iverson at the Olympic Games left a deep impression on everyone, and his new boots at the foot of the Olympic Games also made the majority of shoe fans relish. This pair of sneakers is the second problem. The origin of this pair of sneakers should be started from the beginning.
Allen iverson was born in a poor single-parent family in Virginia-like many black families, his father left his mother, who was only 15 at that time, and has since disappeared. Iverson is small and thin, but he has amazing sports talent. In high school, he was both a basketball player and a rugby player, and both sports won the title of the best high school player in the state. He finally chose basketball as his development direction. After two brilliant years at Georgetown University, he was selected by Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of 1996. The golden season of 1996 has produced countless future stars, and the top scholar Iverson is absolutely worthy of the name. In the same year, Iverson signed a contract with Reebok, and Reebok clearly saw the market prospect of this young man nicknamed "Answer". So in a short time, the exclusive shoe "problem" corresponding to the nickname "answer" quickly went online and was widely promoted. With the continuous progress of Iverson and the maverick rebellious characteristics of the players themselves, the best catalyst has been added to the sales of sneakers. The Iverson brand in the product line began to show a strong upward trend and quickly became popular, which made Reebok more determined to continue packaging. Question Mid is the first pair of shoes designed by Reebok for Iverson. High top design, transparent outsole (commonly known as ice bottom). The whole pair of shoes adopts the "Hexalite" technology of Reebok, and uses the unique hexagonal geometric connection structure to evenly disperse the stress, which has a strong cushioning effect. The back palm is made of a whole piece of honeycomb cushioning material, which completely wraps the sole and side. This is Reebok's suspended honeycomb system, which was very popular at that time, providing excellent lateral support for left and right lateral movement, reducing the chance of injury and reducing and adjusting strong impact. And "Hexalite" honeycomb technology also gives shoes a great advantage in the durability of shock absorption system, that is, they will not break like Nike's airbag for a while, nor will they feel like DMX for a long time …
Later, Iverson won the rookie king, and of course the sneakers would come out, but instead of being called "Question 2" as usual, the sneakers were renamed "Answer" like Iverson, which was a new beginning. The top-level configuration of the new DMX 10 has also created a good performance. Interestingly, there is a sentence "The question has been answered" on the tongue of "answer". From then on, the "problem" series will no longer be launched. Later, at 00-0 1, Reebok set up the "I3" brand for Iverson, and launched different kinds of shoes. However, later, duplicate editions and low-grade editions of Questioning in various colors were launched one after another, and the sales volume has been good, reflecting everyone's nostalgia and recognition of Questioning.
In 2004, the situation improved. When the "Answer" series was about to come out to the eighth generation, that is, at the end of the season, Iverson finally participated in his dream Olympic Games on behalf of the American team. A pair of very special sneakers appeared at his feet, and the huge "Hexalite" hive on the side of the sole suddenly reminded people of the problem mid of that year. At that time, some people speculated that this might be "answer 8", but it was really like this. In fact, it has no consistent design style with the original "Answer" series. Later, we learned that this is the real "problem 2", a late "problem 2".
There are three versions of Question II in the market, namely, the Olympic version, the ordinary version and the short version. To commemorate the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Reebok launched the Iverson Question II- Olympic Gold Edition for Iverson, which is said to be limited to 2,004 pairs worldwide. Some Olympic editions appearing on the market are even precious sample editions, even Iverson's own size. Question 2 of the Olympic version is gorgeous. The "I3" sign on the side of the shoe is displayed in all gold, and the shoelaces are decorated with the American flag No.4 gold medal, followed by Iverson's back number "4" at the Olympic Games. The most eye-catching is the big American flag on the tongue of the shoe, which is very ostentatious and glorious. In addition, both the heel and toe are exposed to the honeycomb "Hexalite" buffer system, which echoes the problem III and provides the most suitable protection. The sole is made of seamless rubber instead of ice, and Iverson's movements are used to complete the arrangement of Iverson letters on the sole. The painstaking design can be seen. Unfortunately, the Olympic Games are not for sale in Chinese mainland. Fans can only enjoy it here, or buy a fan version to quench their thirst. The fan version of the second question does not have gorgeous decorations such as the tongue of the American flag and the gold medal of the American flag. Instead, the tongue of the shoe is replaced with a "Hexalite" honeycomb, but the "I3" logo on the side of the shoe is kept, but it is replaced with other colors, and the words Iverson are printed on the heel position and sole, which finally gives you some comfort.
There are so many stories about this belated question II, and there are also multiple expectations of manufacturers, players and even shoe fans. Can "Question 2" with a long-lost "hive" still give us the feeling of having "Question 1"? Perhaps, this is another question.
The answer is MID.
At that time, in order to cooperate with the popularity of Iverson's rookie of the year, with his flying in and out of the dunk on the court, or cutting into the pole, DMX 10 shock absorption system (transparent rubber outsole) was used on this pair of shoes, which is also one of the few basketball shoes equipped with DMX 10 in Reebok. Also, because of the addition of many personal designs, these shoes have become very heavy, but they have good shock absorption.
It feels good, too Disadvantages: Easy to break is the first sneaker in Iverson series that uses the [I3] logo.
The product manual attached at that time introduced the working principle of dmx. At that time, there was a short sleeve with dmx 10 sole.
Answer number two
Since the answer 1, the answer series has become a testing ground for Reebok's most advanced shoemaking technology. Answer One, as the pioneering work of Answer Two series, is very successful, but it has not completely positioned the keynote of Answer Two series, which is more based on Answer Two. These are the shoes that Iverson wore in the 1998-99 season. The first pair of Reebok basketball shoes with 3D floating outsole and I-PAK DMX, of course, is to improve the bulky shortcomings of the previous generation, and it is also the lightest pair of all Allen Iverson basketball shoes so far. But the 3D floating outsole has also become the biggest disadvantage of this pair of shoes. Only when the soles and the ground are completely clean can the maximum grip be exerted, otherwise the grip is insufficient and it is not wear-resistant, so Iverson seems to be developing in every game from now on.
PS: [DMX I-PAK Air Cushion] is an air cushion between DMX 10 and NIKE's ZoomAir, which has the same communication structure as DMX 10. The air cushion structure similar to ZoomAir makes this shoe have excellent shock absorption effect and extremely fast response speed ... The configuration of MidAnswer III is basically the same as that of Answer II, and Answer II and Answer III are also the lightest two pairs of basketball shoes in the whole answer series due to the use of 3D floating soles. In contrast, the appearance of answer three is more exaggerated. In the use of 3D floating bottom, the slightly stiff design in the second answer becomes radiant in the third answer, and the advantages of one-step molding of 3D floating bottom are undoubtedly displayed. The unfolding line design extending from the 3D floating sole to the upper is inspired by Iverson's furrow hairstyle, and the design is coherent, which vaguely reveals the pride of the scoring champion in the regular season. It is a rare domineering work in Reebok shoes. Answer 3 further improves the wearing comfort, and each generation of answer 3 products will improve the defects of the previous work, which is one of the long-lasting driving forces of answer 3 series. The third answer is to extend the leather fabric to the inside of the sneakers, which is rare in the design of basketball shoes. In order to increase the wearing comfort and enhance the package performance, Nike launched the brand of inner boots. Modern fabrics, such as Lycra and spheres, are used to stabilize the inner space of shoes, while Adidas came out of the failure of adiLux, developed hug technology and established the relationship between the sole and the inner space of shoes. Reebok extended the leather fabric to the inner space of sneakers for the first time before re-using the pump technology, but the simple improvement achieved good results, which is the success of answer 3. The middle palm of Answer III is optimized, and the divergent TPU tray rarely seen in Reebok products is used, which greatly increases the stability of Answer III. On the basis of the same technology and optimized collocation, the price of answer 3 is even lower than that of answer 2, which is absolutely great news for Iverson fans and shoe fans. From the third answer, the answer is passed down from generation to generation. Although this pair of shoes is simple in design, its beautiful appearance has become one of the most sought-after products in Answer series.
Answer 3 DMX is a special basketball shoe worn by Iverson 1999 to 2000. The design of the previous generation was continued, but the proportion of rubber was increased on the basis of the 3D floating outsole material, so it was heavier than the previous generation, but the wear resistance was not improved much, and it was quickly smoothed. Since this generation, the shoe lining has been changed to leather to strengthen the stability of heel wrapping. (It won't cause ugly hairballs) The design of the second and third generation outsole is mainly to provide comfort during running and reduce the burden on the feet when playing the whole court. Answer 4 MID Answer 4 finally gave up the 3D suspended sole. The use of double-density injection-molded EVA midsole further simplified the style of the answer series, and the appearance of answer 4 was more concise and smooth. Full speed, the industrial design of answer 4 is the most successful in the whole answer series. Because of this, answer 4 has become the best seller in the whole series and the most sought-after one now. Answer 4: The vamp design incorporates the concept of large area color difference before and after, which is a very popular design concept in modern sneaker design. Color difference design can make sneakers more conspicuous on the field. In addition to the color difference design before and after, Answer 4 also uses a large area of reflective materials, which makes Answer 4 always an extremely eye-catching basketball shoe. Answer 4 continues the design of answer 2. A: All four pairs, including the inside of sneakers, are full-grain leather. The unique shoelace hiding system provides good comfort and stability. On Answer IV, the designer of Reebok tried to add zipper system to Answer series for the first time, which greatly improved the wrapping and protection performance of Answer IV. The design of sneakers and zippers is used in many classic sneakers and has been proved to be a successful design countless times. Another unique design of answer 4 is to abstract Iverson's head and print it on the hollowed-out part of the back sole of the sneaker, which is unprecedented in the design history of basketball shoes. Rebellious spokesmen also have their own bold designs. In view of this, several signs of Iverson are printed on the insole of answer 4. Iverson has two tattoos, one is that only the strong can survive and will reappear in answer 4, and the other is the answer, which is Iverson's nickname, echoing the whole series of answers. The midsole of answer 4 adopts DMX I-PAK technology, which provides excellent cushioning effect. After the outsole gave up the 3D floating sole technology, a brand-new rubber outsole with corrugated tread greatly improved the wear resistance of the sole. The listed version should be V MID, V uppers made of different materials: white with full-grain leather; Black is artificial fine cowhide, which is very comfortable to wear. It continues many characteristics of the last pair of shoes, such as the application of large-area fluorescent materials, the sideways image on the insole and so on. Generally speaking, there is almost no breakthrough in answer five on the basis of answer four. The sales performance of answer 4 makes Reebok feel very high. It is taken for granted that as long as the style of the whole series can be maintained, the sales volume of answer V can naturally reach a higher level, but this is a dangerous signal. Once the designer begins to give up the breakthrough and stick to the tradition, it means the loss and extinction of inspiration. The answer v is an example. Although the sales volume of answer V is still good, since then, the answer series has entered a trough, and a series of events such as discounts and design doubts have followed, and the answer series has fallen into an abyss. Actually, the answer V is a good pair of sneakers. It has some breakthrough designs of its own, such as the use of patent leather materials (only black version) and the design of back bonding. But none of these designs have achieved the desired results. The gluing of the heel is completely chicken rib design. This whimsical bonding design aims to better wrap the ankle and further stabilize the foot, but the result is that the flexibility of the ankle is limited to the court. The advantages of answer v are not without them. The comfort of DMCI- Parker in the midsole has been further improved, reaching the peak of the whole answer series. Although Answer V has been made more comfortable than before, the strong performance of DMCI- Parker also restricted the play of Answer V. Answer V was slightly delayed on the court, so it couldn't keep up with the players.
In the middle of Answer 6, Answer 6 has returned to the road of speed, and the zipper design has returned to the series of Answer 6 again, instead of the strap on Answer 5. The use of TPU material in the second half of the shoe has greatly improved the protective performance of Answer 6, and the design of combining zipper and shoelaces is also a major feature of Answer 6, but in addition, the appearance of Answer 6 is lacking. But the vamp is still designed in the middle, and there is no special support technology. There is a whole piece of transparent TPU at the bottom of the heel, which should increase some stability. Basically, the ankle part is comfortable, the coverage is satisfactory, and there is no negative feeling. Insofar as midsole is concerned, because the durability of DMX I-PAK can never be solved (at least many foreign sneakers think so), Reebok decided to give up using DMX technology on Answer VI, which directly led to Answer VI becoming an alternative in the whole Answer series, and the only generation that did not use DMX technology. Answer 6: The shock absorption system only has injection-molded EVA (Imeva) midsole and polyurethane socks. Generally, there is nothing wrong with playing, but it is much worse than other star shoes. The forefoot feels good on the ground, which is suitable for rapid movement, and the heel has poor shock absorption. After playing for a long time, the heel will feel sore. The extremely high price caused consumer dissatisfaction and poor sales. From the beginning of answer six, the answer series has entered a strange circle of crazy discount.
The answer is mid-July.
Iverson's seventh-generation exclusive shoes, full-grain leather uppers and middle tube design, although Answer VII is called middle tube, its height is actually similar to that of Air Jordan XVII Low, but the ankle filling is quite solid, which adds points to the support work, but it is only a little worse than the top Nike basketball shoes. The strong support of good basketball shoes has great psychological assistance and the ankle is well wrapped. There will be no slippage. The filling of answer 7 is worth explaining. It is not ordinary mesh or memory sponge, nor is it soft cloth. It should be described as "low-density PU material". You can see that his heel can be filled and shaped, so you know that he has a certain shaping effect. The feeling of wearing Answer VII is very suitable for running, and the anti-torsion stabilizer in the middle of TPU shoes with heels should also have great support. The DMX foam damping system embedded in CMEVA midsole is an innovation, and the design similar to the shock absorber improves the durability of DMX. When the insole of answer 7 is removed, you will find that Reebok has also begun to work hard on the insole. This insole is also printed with steel seal, which is called performance insole. Compared with previous generations, the insole is much more elastic, and the shock absorption plate in the heel is quite satisfactory, which can be felt at any time, but correspondingly, the shock absorption of the forefoot is not good. If you simply compare a pair of shoes, the shock absorption of the forefoot is harder than that of Air Jordan IX. Although the improved DMX cushioning system has got rid of the life problem, the DMX foam transformed into two connected cushioning adhesives has no original excellent comfort, and at best it can achieve the feeling that adiPrene+ brings to the wearer. Answer 7: There are too many shoes of the same age. The thinking of Reebok designers seems to have entered a road of no return. The seventh generation has no innovation except fixing the sponge on the ankle in the shoe. Realist, this is Iverson's latest tattoo on the sole. Does it mean that Iverson gives in to reality and gives up the requirement for sneakers?
1997, Iverson won the "Best Newcomer in NBA" award. In the rookie season, Iverson can almost be described as crazy. The whole league set off an "Iverson" craze. A rookie entering the league can reach such a height, which Reebok never thought. The next year, according to Iverson's lightning speed, amazing explosive power, outside jumper and inside breakthrough, the answer 1 is the first work in this series and the beginning of a great series. The answer series has now become the most successful series in all Reebok product catalogs. In order to apply the latest DMX technology to the field of basketball shoes, Reebok sacrificed the recognized question series, re-established the answer series for Iverson, redesigned Iverson's private Logo, and installed DMX, which was a great success in the field of running shoes, on the answer 1, in an effort to further stabilize its position in the field of basketball shoes. Answer 1 The upper is made of printed leather, with a large area of patent leather and full texture. At that time, it was an excellent design to use so many patent skins. The design of the whole vamp is quite ingenious, especially the vamp design near the shoelaces, which skillfully combines the LOGO of Reebok with the word "Iverson". It is also the whole series of using answers from the answer 1. The midsole of the answer 1 adopts the top ten airbag DMX technology, that is, DMX- 10, which has been successfully applied to many Reebok running shoes. There are five independent DMX airbags in the front and back palms, and the middle palm is connected by three amber tubes, which sets a new standard for the comfort of Reebok basketball shoes. Since then, Reebok basketball shoes have officially bid farewell to the hive era and entered the comfortable DMX era. However, in the whole answer series, only the answer 1 adopted DMX- 10 as the cushioning technology of the midsole, and this tedious cushioning technology has never been used in later works. The reason is that DMX- 10, as a cushioning technology for running shoes, is very mature and moved to basketball shoes intact. The translucent outsole and the air bag too close to the ground can't provide the required wear resistance of basketball shoes, which has become the biggest weakness of the answer 1, making the answer 1 a work of art that can only be appreciated; Answer 1 Due to the adoption of many new technologies, I am not satisfied with the weight control of sneakers, nor can I fully provide effective support for Iverson who wins by speed. Answer 8
When answer eight reaches answer eight, in any case, the answer series will become one of the most outstanding series in history. In fact, the whole answer series is based on DMX technology. From DMX- 10 in answer 1 to DMX foam now, Reebok tries to create the most beautiful effect on this oldest technology, from quantity to texture to hardness. Among them, only Answer VI did not use DMX for design reasons, but the market response was cold. The I3 Play Off II launched in the playoffs was even criticized by foreign authoritative websites as worthless, and even its pleasing appearance did not achieve successful sales. The main purpose of answer VII is to restore consumer confidence. Until this year, Reebok launched question two and answer eight at the same time, hoping to find its place in the top sports shoes market again. The eighth answer is commemorative works, as if paying tribute to Iverson's struggle every year; Answer 8 emphasizes the importance of the eighth generation from beginning to end, especially the design of the whole shoe. The shoe design seems to be just to commemorate the success of this series, second only to Air Jordan. The ventilation holes all over the vamp are shaped like an "8" at first, and the overall shape and grain of the outsole are also shaped like an "8". The metal "∞" on the shoelaces is unique. The most brilliant design of the whole shoe is that the outsole extends to the back to keep up with the shape of water droplets. The shoe body design of answer 8 is simple and clear, and it still exudes the unique sense of speed of the answer series. In terms of color, the recently popular outsole-shoe contrast color system is adopted, which is compact and fashionable. The upper is still the leather commonly used in the answer series, and the design of air holes is the latest trend, with good air permeability and stability. Reebok did not cater to the current trend in the design of the midsole this time, exposing the midsole to the air. It seems that the tragic failure of the built-in answer VI and the success of the built-in answer VII in the midsole made the designers of Reebok determined to return the whole series to the retro atmosphere. The outsole of answer 8 can be said to be one of the best designs of Reebok in recent years. First of all, the choice of translucent material is very popular with consumers and beautiful. The whole outsole provides a strong package support for the upper, especially the inner design. Compared with Nike's flight system, it does not fall in the wind. Let's take a look at the friction and wear resistance provided by the outsole. The wear resistance of the outsole of several generations of Reebok shoes has been affirmed. Answer 8 still leaves us a little doubt at this point. The herringbone pattern on the large area of the forefoot has been recognized as a mature design, and the design of the "8" pattern extending from the arch of the foot is full of inspiration, but it may not provide enough friction coefficient.
The answer IX breaks the usual pattern, and the answer IX will definitely make Iverson fans shine. Just from the appearance, we can easily distinguish the answer IX PUMP, simple shape, black and white shoe body, which directly expresses Iverson's consistent special case. The whole answer IX expresses the spirit of "only the strong can survive", which is one of Iverson's most famous tattoos and his attitude towards life. The newly confirmed "RBK”Logo is also used in the answer series for the first time, which indicates the maturity and rebirth of answer 9. Another big breakthrough of Answer IX is that it integrates the mature pump technology of Reebok into the Answer series for the first time on the basis of various technologies of the previous generation. Fully considering the needs of the wearer, the ninth-generation basketball shoes present an automatic pump adjustment system, which brings the most perfect comfort experience. Answer x
The once frivolous "answer" is now mature; Iverson, who was once as fast as the wind, is now riddled with injuries. Iverson, who once showed outstanding basketball quality by aerial relay, is now more experienced in playing. Although Scar is a man's medal, the leader of 76 people really needs more care. If basketball has influenced my life, then Iverson has influenced my basketball. His spirit, persistence and fearlessness made me realize that basketball can also be a war, a war for one person.
Iverson has let countless basketball fans of ordinary height see hope and let countless basketball fans have a burning heart. From the initial question to the latest answer, I don't lack anything. Every pair of Iverson's combat boots can remind me of Iverson's dribs and drabs that season. It seems that every pair of basketball shoes records Iverson's unyielding, brave and painful.
The golden season of 1996 has produced countless future stars, and the top scholar Iverson is absolutely worthy of the name. In the same year, Iverson signed with Reebok. At that time, Reebok clearly saw the market prospect of this young man nicknamed "Answer". So in a very short time, the exclusive shoe "problem" corresponding to the nickname "answer" quickly went online and was widely promoted. With the gradual maturity of Iverson, a brand-new series of "answers" was born. The rebellious boy full of questions found his own answer. In a blink of an eye, ten years later, the boy who had been scarred and fearless still wore his trademark rebellious smile.
I naturally have no reason to give up the brand-new answer X. Although I only got the sample, I still can't help but sigh. When I first got the answer X, the only word I thought of was: Tianzu! That corrugated outsole used to be my biggest dream, and Tianzu basketball shoes have also become a beautiful memory in my heart. But today I feel the charm of Tianzu again on the answer X. Maybe it is too reluctant to call it Tianzu now, and it is more appropriate to call it a bionic outsole similar to the sole of a human foot. This outsole is similar to the concept outsole of Tianzu, and combined with many successful designs, the design of the rear outsole has also been changed into two pieces, which feels slightly different after wearing it. Compared with the traditional Tianzu basketball shoes, the answer X has a softer foot feeling. Of course, Reebok's midsole has always been known for its comfort, and the outsole is not limited to the old-fashioned Tianzu design. The thickness of each inch of outsole is different, which indirectly reduces the weight of the answer X. As for the decorative significance of the X-shaped outsole pattern, it is not prominent in actual combat.
The answer X shoe body continues the design of past dynasties, and the "X" shape covers the upper, which is unique in the design of ventilation holes, zipper buttons and sole patterns. The success of pump technology in Answer 9 made Reebok determined to continue to use it. This time, the pump used in answer X is more comfortable than that used in answer IX. Because the design of the ankle part is close to Nike's Huarache concept, the flexibility of the ankle part of Answer X is improved, and with the protection of the new pump, the comfort of Answer X in actual wear is very satisfactory.
The design of the answer X completely subverts the traditional family design of the answer series. An avant-garde shape and comfortable sense of wearing greatly improve the competitiveness of Answer X in top basketball shoes. As a star signature shoe, the new answer X puts comfort and flexibility in the first place. I believe that the upcoming answer X will be recognized by the market.
