Reebok Answer XII

Release Date: February ‘09

Price: $100

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have no winced nor cried aloud.

Under my bludgeoning of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters now how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate;

I am the captain of my soul.

-William Ernest Henley’s, “Invictus”

Basketball is poetry in motion. And perhaps there is no player in the NBA that does poetic justice better than Allen Iverson.

Introduce Reebok’s Answer XII, the latest installment of AI’s signature series to hit NBA All-Star Weekend in February. Inspired with colorways dedicated to the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons, the Reebok Answer XII shoes include a TPU heel graphic plate with William Ernest Henley’s poem, Invictus. The poem is a symbolic description of Allen Iverson and his unique and creative game.

I absolutely love this shoe. As a fan of AI, I really dig the installment of Henley’s poem onto the design of the shoe. This is a phenomenal gift for any AI fan. Unfortunately we will all have to wait for All-Star weekend, when the shoe hits the market at $100.
