Iverson's Reebok Answer IV 'Stepover' reissued for 20th anniversary

The sneaker that Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson wore when he infamously stepped over Los Angeles Lakers guard Tyronn Lue during Game 1 of the 2000-01 NBA Finals is returning.

Reebok announced Wednesday that Iverson's black and white Answer IV "Stepover" is being reissued to celebrate the shoe's 20th anniversary.

"Answer IV is the crown jewel of Iverson's journey and the cultural shift he helped to lead," Reebok footwear designer Xavier Jones said earlier this year. "By his '00-01 season, 'Chuck' was already so beloved for his style and how he approached the game, but that year truly cemented A.I. as a cultural icon.

"On his feet, Answer IV became a symbol for the new era of modern athlete and a celebration of self-expression. It is without a doubt one of the most iconic sneakers to ever grace the hardwood."

The reissued Answer IV features Iverson's "I3" logo on the sides and has the phrase "Only the Strong Survive" printed on the bottom. It will release globally on June 4.
