Following the return of the Reebok Answer DMX “White Red”, the Reebok Answer DMX “Black Gold” is another OG colorway of the silhouette which is receiving a retro this year. Sporting the familiar “Core Black/Footwear White-Metallic Gold” makeup, the model dons a black tumbled leather upper which is complemented with hits of metallic gold throughout. Other design elements consist of the split Reebok Vector on the eyelets and Allen Iverson’s “I3” logo on the heel, while a semi-translucent black rubber outsole with hints of metallic gold round out the profile.
Retailing for $170, look for the Reebok Answer DMX “Black Gold” at select Reebok stockists stateside and Reebok.com on November 18th. Always keep it locked to KicksOnFire for the latest in sneaker news, release dates and where to purchase your favorite kicks.
In Nike news, the Nike Air Max 97 Silver Bullet returns this week.
ABOUT THE MODEL: “In ‘97, following Reebok’s momentous ’96 rookie-year release of Allen Iverson’s coveted Question Mid – his first signature shoe – the brand issued a response – better yet, an answer. Answer I (otherwise known as “Answer DMX”) debuted for Iverson’s sophomore campaign, offering revolutionary DMX cushioning technology underfoot and bold design elements that helped meet the demands of his explosive playing style and on-court flair. 25 years later (following the return of its OG white/red predecessor earlier this year), Reebok is set to revive the sneaker’s coveted second colorway, a black/white variation built to match Iverson’s away-game superhero ensemble, with an all-leather upper, patent leather accents, “I3” jewel branding, an ice rubber outsole, and DMX technology underfoot.”
UPDATE (11/8): Reebok has confirmed that the Reebok Answer DMX OG Black Gold will be releasing on November 18th on Reebok.com for the retail price of $170.
