Allen Iverson’s 54-point game is set to be immortalized in the classic silhouette of the Reebok Answer IV. Dubbed the Answer IV “54” points, the new sneaker will be released at Reebok.com and select retailers.

The white/grey Answer IV “54 Points” returns for the first time since that season, complete with an OG quality leather upper, reflective highlights, zipper shroud, and original tattoo graphic sockliner.

.@CP3 takes us back into time to tell the rich history behind the #TheyGaveUsGame Collection.

Although Kanye West has shown absolutely no sign of getting softer in the past two years, his most recent shoe drop, the Yeezy QNTM ‘Mono Carbon’ has, debuting this week with a softer look than the original 2020 version, just in time for spring.
The ‘Mono Carbon’ has the same general overall style as the original QNTM, which was released in 2020. The shoe is similar in that it’s base is a marbled grey Primeknit underneath gray wavy suede, creating a contrasting sense of horizontal and vertical movement. It has a milky suede toe wrap and semi-translucent milky sole, just slightly more off-white than the original 2020 version. However, the main difference is the carbon suede heel and upper, which feature three similar shades of carbon gray. The laces (also carbon gray) are similar to the original shoe design. Like the original, the newest shoe has a full-length Boost midsole.
The charcoal gray coloring makes this an incredibly versatile shoe for this time of year, when winter and spring seem to overlap and switch back and forth in many parts of the country.
The QNTM ‘Mono Carbon’ retails for about $260 and is available online at select retailers. More information about releases and availability can be found at https://www.adidas.com/us/yeezy.
Reebok is set to release the Shaqnosis “Athlete’s Choice,” which is inspired by Shaq’s “Big Aristotle” alias and ancient Greece. The sneaker will release exclusively on Reebok.com on April 8 at $150.
Shaq earned the moniker “Big Aristotle” after his MVP campaign in 2000. The Shaqnosis “Athlete’s Choice” design draws inspiration from classic Aristotle artworks, sculptures, and ancient Greek culture through texture, substance, and color.
The sneaker has a marble base inspired by statues and sculptures, with desaturated color and contrast comparable to antique paintings. Natural fibers on the upper body are reminiscent of Ancient Greek clothing and robes. The purple heel is a nod to the color purple, which in Ancient Greece was associated with social status and wealth.
The first-known ideas of color were developed by Aristotle. Colors were assigned to earth, fire, wind, and water, and he proposed that all color originated with white and black.
