We're talking about practice!
Allen Iverson turns iconic Reebok basketball sneakers into golf shoes (please send us a pair!)

If you were born in the mid-90s, Allen Iverson is and forever will be the coolest man ever to exist. For all of us relatively short East Coasters, AI gave us hope that we too could bypass our vertical challenges, lace ‘em up and put on a show. Despite being surrounded by Goliaths, he was a treat to watch, and his iconic look—from the dreads to the headband to the signature Reebok Questions—was constantly replicated but never matched.
The NBA Hall of Famer retired in 2013 (somehow 12 years ago already), but he’s still putting out new kicks for all of us wannabe athletes. Luckily for us, they’re for the golf course. As anybody in their 30s knows, nothing hurts more than our knees, legs and body the day after running up and down the hardwood or walking 18. Iverson knows this and is giving us all a chance to continue wearing the Questions while trying our best to be athletic.
“New game, same killer instinct,” Iverson posted on Instagram. “Proud to drop my new golf shoe – designed for the court, ready for the course. 💯🏌️♂️”
Like one of the great Reebok colorways, these golf shoes are white with the “Red Toe” bowling shoe aesthetic that AI turned into excellence. There’s also a “Q” on the back in case anyone behind you forgets who you’re repping. Pro golfer Matt Kang unveiled these to the world and we're more than ready to try them out ourselves. There’s no release date or price tag just yet for the Question Low Golf but we’re excited to see which pro tries them out … hopefully along with Iverson at a pro-am.
Chris Whitehead, founder of Tee Up Kicks, might have put it best with the following Insta comment: “The Step Over after a 6ft putt gon hit different in these.”
