Earlier in the month, it was revealed that Reebok will be releasing an inverted version of their OG White/Black Answer IV, which lead many to believe that we weren’t going to receive a re-release of the original. But as it appears, we’ll be receiving a reissue of the famous Reebok Answer IV “Step Over” OG in less than a month.
Mostly remembered as the sneaker worn on-foot of 2001 NBA MVP in game 1 of the NBA Finals where a ballsy Allen Iverson drummed up 48 points and a W in Los Angeles against the heavily-favored Lakers. During his unguardable run, Laker Ty Lue was given the impossible task of stopping the season MVP, who then quickly crossed him up, dropping a mid-range jumper, and leaving Lue seated on the floor. In a moment of sheer disrespect, Iverson stepped over the crossed Lue, leaving behind an iconic moment of the man and his unstoppable game 1 run — and ultimately, A.I.’s entire 2001 season.
The pair will return again on June 4th, and it arrives in fairly close comparison to the OG. Those looking to relive the moment can do so above, and further below, you can get reacquainted with the sneaker via its official 2021 imagery.
If you are planning on picking up a pair on the day, make sure you head to our dedicated Reebok Release Dates Calendar to set yourself a reminder for the drop.
