going on guys this is taiva hasakix.com
0:02
and today we're going to talk about the
0:04
answer 4. now this shoe was made
0:06
obviously for allen iverson
0:07
now for guys that don't know ai in the
0:11
90s early 2000s iverson was unstoppable
0:14
now this dude was almost like uh he was
0:17
he called himself a point guard but i
0:19
he's like a shooting guard trapped in
0:21
the body of a point guard because the
0:23
he always wanted to score he wasn't
0:25
about to pass to his teammates
0:27
you know what i'm saying so allen
0:28
iverson was a slasher
0:30
the best scorer that the nba has ever
0:33
as far as uh size is concerned i decided
0:36
the things that he did
0:37
night in a night out was unstoppable
0:39
okay he took a lot of beatings because
0:41
all he did was just attack the paint
0:43
attacked the lane and got his bucket he
0:46
and it probably one of the best
0:50
that you will ever see his crossover was
0:53
we all tried to do that crossover and we
0:55
could never do it because iverson had
0:56
long arms so he could actually
0:58
utilize his body and to to his advantage
1:02
this shoe was made in 2001 and that's
1:04
the same year in which allen iverson
1:08
of that season he also won the all-star
1:11
when he mattered now he doesn't matter
1:12
anymore because i feel like they go out
1:14
there and just to fool around
1:15
okay and that same year he went to the
1:17
nba finals but unfortunately
1:19
he lost to the late kobe bryant and the
1:21
lakers but he still put up a lot of
1:23
first game i think he scored like 48 or
1:27
incredible okay now this shoe was made
1:31
and basically it comes in white red
1:34
gray and a little bit of black so you
1:37
have the red on the tall area
1:39
red on the zipper red on the midsection
1:42
red on the back a red on your heel
1:45
section as well and then red at the
1:47
and then you have gray on the heel and
1:50
the forefoot portion of the forefoot
1:52
you have some gray there gray on the
1:54
back gray on the midsole
1:56
and gray on the outsole especially at
2:00
side of it and then what you also have
2:02
is white on the top portion next to the
2:06
and then you have white inside of it
2:08
white liner gray on the
2:10
outside of the tongue and then gray
2:12
again on the back here
2:13
so as far as like the leather so what
2:17
some kind of soft leather on the toe
2:20
and then you also have tumbled leather
2:23
on the mid section and then next to the
2:26
ankles this is a lot of tumbler it feels
2:28
pretty i don't want to put too much
2:29
fingers on it because i don't want to
2:31
but this is it here now the shoe is a
2:33
bit light not too heavy so for iverson
2:35
it was a small guy and he liked to
2:37
attack so reebok i guess putting a lot
2:40
of work into creating a shoe that would
2:42
so inside of you have that zipper and a
2:45
little bit of a velcro
2:46
um material here so when you can unzip
2:49
this and it reveals the tongue
2:51
so as far as branding is concerned you
2:53
have a lot of iverson
2:55
i three here is number number three and
2:58
you also have the reebok logo and allen
3:02
name here i three again for allen
3:04
iverson this is a tab
3:06
that's for easy access and exit and then
3:08
inside you also have the same i3
3:11
that i'm showing you now if you see okay
3:13
and then on the bottom you have iverson
3:17
you know i have a sudden i3 again over
3:19
there and then on the insole
3:21
on the footbed you have uh portions of
3:24
his tattoo that iverson has on his body
3:26
the tattoos you can see it over there
3:30
okay now as far as like the technical
3:32
support uh for the shoe
3:33
what you have is there's a little bit of
3:35
some kind of a netting cage here
3:37
i guess that's for ventilation purposes
3:39
and the zipper you can lock your foot in
3:41
you can unzip and zip it to it depends
3:44
on how you however you feel like it
3:46
okay and then you have your pull tab
3:47
again i showed you this is just
3:49
to put the shoe in and out and then your
3:52
uh liner here is pretty plush a lot of
3:55
foam in it to cushion your ankle
3:57
and then as far as the the cushioning is
4:00
concerned so you have the dmx
4:03
uh midsole which is a two layer now on
4:06
the top layer what you have
4:07
the layer that touches your foot is soft
4:09
and the bottom is sturdy because
4:12
what that does it absorbs um the shock
4:16
so reebok really putting a lot of work
4:17
into doing this and then you also have
4:20
it looks like carbon i don't know what
4:21
it is but it looks like carbon fiber but
4:22
this is for torsional rigidity that
4:24
means the shoe is not going to bend
4:26
so quickly and then you have a lot of
4:28
those threads your herringbone like
4:30
this is because iverson was a slasher so
4:32
he likes to cut to the basket
4:33
so that helped him a lot okay the shoe
4:35
is incredible again he reminds you of uh
4:38
ai's i remember picking this up uh in 20
4:41
for 29.99 back in the early 2000s at
4:45
i that would never happen again okay so
4:48
this is it if you want to pick it up
4:49
i'll have a link for in the description
4:51
be sure to check that out
4:52
again thanks for watching this is ty for
4:53
master kicks and stay tuned for more
