You may or may not be a sneaker head, but even if you’re not into shoes, there’s a good chance you remember Allen Iverson‘s famed ‘Question’ sneakers. Outside of earlier Shaq models, the ‘Q’ was one of the best selling shoes in Reebok history and it appears they’re bringing them back – sort of.
The Shaqnosis’ have already been re-released and now come the Question’s and who better to help launch them than Sacramento Kings guard Isaiah Thomas?
Reebok held a press event today which included the Kings point guard where he modeled the new variation of the Q’s which look like a hybrid of Iverson’s shoes, mixed with some new technology.
It’s a solid move away from the Zig line though, combining the old with the new isn’t exactly sitting well with a ton of fans who’ve expressed some distaste in the new Q96 model.
Thomas is expected to wear the shoes at times during the first half of the 2013-14 season according to SoleCollector.com, among other styles:
"Worn by Sacramento Kings guard Isaiah Thomas earlier today at a Reebok photoshoot, expect to see the brand’s guards wearing this new model during the first half of the season."
