Chapter 412: Sneakers
In the 03-04 season, the "fighter" was finally knocked down by injuries, and after missing nearly half a season, Iverson and his 76ers also lost their qualification for the playoffs. THIS ALSO CAUSED THE ANSER VII TO PLUMMET, BUT WITH IVERSON NAMED TO THE NEW DREAM TEAM, THE SPECIAL EDITION OF THE STARS AND STRIPES THAT ACCOMPANIED HIM TO THE AMERICA CUP AMERICA AND WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP ALSO RECEIVED A SPECIAL HONOR.
In '04, Reebok launched Anser VIII for Iverson, a commemorative work that seems to pay tribute to Iverson's struggles over the years; The Anser VIII emphasizes the importance of the 8th generation from beginning to end, and the design of the whole shoe is secondary, the shoe seems to be designed only to commemorate the success of this second only to the Air Jordan series, from the air vents full of air holes in the upper to show the shape of the "8" first, the overall shape and texture of the outsole also presents the "8" figure, the metal "∞" on the laces is even more cleverly designed, and the most outstanding design of the whole shoe is the "8" shape of the water drop that extends to the heel of the outsole.
The Reebok Anser IX Pump has changed a lot in style compared to the other shoes in the entire The Anser series, the Anser IX Pump pays more attention to the protection of the shoes to reduce the possibility of Iverson injuries in sports, a series has developed to the ninth generation, and the athletes themselves have entered a mature period, just like Iverson, who has reached the peak in all aspects, the Anser IX Pump is not very much pursued in terms of lightness and speed.
After the start of the 6-07 season, after playing 15 games for the 76ers symbolically, Iverson's "front edge" with Philadelphia finally ended with a transfer to the Denver Nuggets.
Out of reverence for AI, today I will talk to you about Q96. Of course, the shoes are good, but it's a little regrettable, let's talk about it slowly in the review.
The Reebok Q96 shoe takes its name from Iverson's draft year and his first signature shoe, Question 1, to honor the four-time leading scorer. As a real-world boost, the shoe has the same toe cap and lace holes as the Question 1. The Reebok Q96 retains the original Question Mid design, with the Reebok lettering on the lace tie system and the large area of color block detail at the toe end retained, but the body has been replaced with ultra-light and breathable 3D FuseFrame upper technology, and the original honeycomb air unit has been changed to DMX Foam air unit, which is bound to greatly improve the actual combat performance.
Those who have read my previous review post should be a little puzzled: I am gradually losing weight, this is a must, and being overweight has affected my health, so I have been slowly losing weight since mid-November. Now it is about 83,84kg, and the weight is still on the fat side; If you are tall, you will be 178cm; The location is SF and SG, and the passerby bureau cameo C is also OK.
From the time I got the shoes to the present 3 days, I wear it to the court every day, twice in the field and once in the outfield. Each assessment is scored out of 10 points.
First of all, there is the appearance: 9 points. When I got the shoes, I really liked them, red, white, blue, simple color matching, no exaggerated patterns, but they were very good-looking, and I couldn't say that I liked them. The overall shoe shape is relatively symmetrical, and the upper foot will show thin feet; The forefoot is a bit on the wide side, which feels similar to the HD2013; The red part of the toe is leather, which feels good to the touch; The lace holes are very delicate, Reebok is very distinctive, and the upper foot is really good-looking; The big logo on the heel of the shoe looks very weighty on the leather, and the ass is really sexy!
Upper stability: 7 points. The upper is 3Dfuse, which is very breathable and has average support. In fact, to be honest, whether it is in my hand or on the upper of my foot, it feels very similar to my previous HF2011, but the support of the q96 is slightly inferior to that of HF2011, which is a pity. 3Dfuse, which is also a plastic upper, pursues ultra-light and breathable while inevitably losing support and stability. However, I personally feel that in the same pursuit of lightweight, the stability of the q96 upper is still much stronger than that of adidas' CL series.
Comfort: 8.5 points. The tongue is comfortable, the thickness is moderate, and there is no discomfort at all after tightening the laces; You can see the half-palm inner boot, and the inner boot heel is lined at the back and is connected; The insole is very good, compared with a one-yuan coin, the thickness is still good, but unfortunately I am more worried about its durability, especially if I have a large weight, will I step on a section and soon step on the insole solidly, tangled, the big 96 logo on the insole also indicates the identity; The inner lining of the shoes is smooth and comfortable to wear.
Cushioning: 8 points. The back foot is DMXFoam technology cushioning (some people say that it is similar to Adi cushioning glue, it is not bad, it feels a little stronger than adi), DMXFoam is a foam material with toughness and elasticity, which can play a good cushioning effect and further improve the comfort when being squeezed during sports, the foot feeling is not much different from AIR SOLE, the stability is better than SOLE, and the responsiveness is not as good as ZOOM. DMX FOAM is essentially a foam with a structure of small particles, which is fastened to the midsole to allow air to flow between the small particles, and after multiple wears, the foam will deform according to the shape of the wearer's feet, so as to achieve comfortable cushioning. The core element of DMX is the "flow" of gas between the airbags, and it is based on the good durability of this technology that DMX has become more popular than ever before, and has become the basic cushioning system of REEBOK basketball shoes.
However, when I first started and didn't fight, all the solid feeling still came from the insole. Later, I slowly felt this DMXFoam technology in actual combat, which was not bad and the feedback was very good. When you take off the insole, you can see two black parts, the one at the arch of the foot is very hard, similar to Nike's carbon plate, and the torsion resistance is okay; And the dark part at the heel I think should be DMXFoam, it still feels when pressed by hand, it is not particularly soft but it also has a feeling, which can provide enough cushioning and stepping needs.
Sole grip, abrasion resistance: 8 points. The blue crystal bottom, I love to say. The texture is very distinctive, and it is also very good-looking, and the grip is first-class. After three games, there was basically no obvious wear and tear on the sole. I feel that this shoe is simply an artifact in the indoor field, so good, the outdoor words are general, after all, the upper is mainly white and not resistant to dirt, and secondly, the crystal sole is not extremely wear-resistant, and there will always be concerns about it.
Shoe protection: 7.5 points. After all, the upper is relatively thin; Ankle protection is the norm.
Shoe weight: 10 points. There is no doubt about this, most of reebok's shoes, especially AI, are still pursuing lightweight, and this one is even better, very, very light, and it really looks like you haven't worn it after putting it on your feet.
Overall score: 8.BOK's shoes have been doing well.
The Q96 is modeled after the Question 1 worn by Iverson in his rookie season to commemorate Answer's rookie season. His bohemian personality and never-give-up spirit have left a deep imprint on the hearts of our generation, and even his every move and style of dressing on the field are the objects of our imitation back then, which is the power of idols. In Iverson, we learned to never give up, we learned not to bow to fate! But now, he's off the pitch, the one he once conquered......
