Editorial: Reebok Question Low "Green Toe" ft. Michael Thorpe

To mark the return of the Reebok Question Low ‘Green Toe’, we teamed up with visual and textile artist Michael Thorpe to produce a unique art piece inspired by his longtime love of basketball.

A good signature shoe will always embody the spirit of its namesake. This is especially true of Reebok’s Question, the signature model of the legendary Allen Iverson. If there is just one quality that truly defines #3, it isn’t the overblown controversies about practice and dress codes, and it isn’t even the hall of fame level skills. It’s the unstoppable will to win, summed up best by the recent revelations that the 76ers were forced to physically hide Iverson’s jersey and sneakers to keep him from suiting up while injured. For a transcendent, generational talent to be driven by such superhuman levels of competitive fire was a truly remarkable thing.

These sentiments echo in every step taken in every pair of Questions. Somewhat ironically, they transcend wins and losses. Anyone can buy the merch and the shoes associated with whoever won the last championship. To align yourself with the Question is to never compromise, and never give in. It’s bringing the same level of intensity whether you’re just tipping off, up by 10 or down by 20. It’s playing with a 3-0 series lead like you’re down 3-1. It’s saying if you don’t want it as much as I do, you have no chance.

Even after twenty years the Question still possesses a true, one-of-a-kind spirit. To mark the return of the ‘Green Toe’ Question, we teamed up with visual and textile artist Michael Thorpe, to produce a unique art piece inspired by his longtime love of basketball.
