Reebok, Allen Iverson Question Mid “Blue Toe” Returned August 19

Reebok has officially announced an August 19 return for its historic Question Mid “Blue Toe” ($50-$160), a noteworthy colorway of Allen Iverson’s first signature basketball shoe introduced during his standout ’96-’97 rookie season.

Reebok’s original Question Mid would arrive in 1996 at the heart of a basketball footwear revolution, but the brand’s pitch to a young and hopeful Allen Iverson was about much more than a sneaker – it was about their commitment to “A.I.”

“It was a dream come true,” recalled Iverson. “It was close to the same feeling of when you get drafted. Only a certain amount of people have their own signature shoe; that really means you’re special.”

Question Mid has since established itself as one of sneaker history’s most meaningful silhouettes, a representation of Reebok basketball heritage, and a model of sport culture’s greatest legacy.

Succeeding its “OG” predecessor that season, Question Mid “Blue Toe” took center stage on a March night in ’97 as Philly’s highlight-reel rookie point guard, Allen Iverson – wearing the shoe – famously “crossed up“ one of basketball’s greatest players. A symbol of Iverson’s fearless athleticism, that historic moment lives on in the soles of an iconic sneaker.
