Company Description

An iconic, 1 of 1 offering at the intersection of basketball culture and business. In 2002, Kobe Bryant opted out of his Adidas shoe deal, sparking the biggest “sneaker free agency” in NBA history. Few players had earned Bryant’s respect and admiration more than Allen Iverson, who had an endorsement deal with Reebok. As a result, this pair of Lakers themed, player edition Reebok Allen Iverson Questions sneakers were created to lure Bryant to Reebok. Kobe wearing the signature sneakers of a fellow NBA player was the true testament to his respect for Iverson. Game worn and signed by Kobe Bryant, these Yellow Toe Reebok Questions were hidden for years before recently resurfacing during an episode of Pawn Stars.** **Considered one of the rarest pairs of a modern era star to ever surface. Kobe memorabilia is on fire, with a rookie game worn jersey recently selling for $3.69M.

Kobe Bryant & Allen Iverson were both drafted in the 1996 NBA Draft. Iverson went #1 overall to the Sixers and Bryant was drafted 13th overall. Both players would have an immense impact on the game of basketball, both on and off the court.
Kobe Bryant's obsession with Allen Iverson is well documented. Over their years in the NBA, they maintained a fierce on-court rivalry and a deep respect and friendship off of it. “I obsessively read every article and book I could find about AI,” Bryant wrote. “I obsessively watched every game he had played, going back to the IUPU All-American Game. I obsessively studied his every success, and his every struggle. I obsessively searched for any weakness I could find.”
Iverson had a shoe endorsement deal with Reebok. The first official Allen Iverson shoes with Reebok was the Reebok Question. You can learn more about them here (https://issuu.com/reebok-question-allen-iverson/docs/beyond_question_-_final).
