When Allen Iverson was in the NBA, he was a huge endorser of Reebok and came out with numerous AI releases and other Reebok classics, (no pun intended). Now, he's playing overseas in a league in China and he's been spotted hooping in a former reebok release, The Reebok Question. This has sneaker enthusiasts bubbling about the rumor that Reebok is planning to retro the Question.

Air Jordan 4 "Fire Red"
JB is bringing back one of the best retros, in my opinion, ever. This is a classic retro of the Fire Red 4's. The retro 4 was originally released in 1989 and then was retroed in this colorway in 2006. The 2006 was a little different than this year's release. The '06 release was dubbed the "Mars Blackmon" or Mars 4's because of the little Mars Blackmon face on the back heel counter. This year's release will not have the face on them. These are set to release sometime in August and will retail for $160.
Air Jordan 4 Red/White (Sample)
This is the year of the retro 12 and 4 for Jordan Brand. There are more retro 4's to release soon and JB has gone back to the drawing board to see what they can come up with for the near future. They just finished a retro 4 sample to start things off; They come with a predominantly red upper and white midsole, outsole, and sole. So far, the sneaker looks decent but I have a good feeling this idea will be scrapped. What do you think ?

Air Jordan 4 "The Shot"
In terms of Jordan Brand, every year is a great year for a certain retro number. This year in 2012, it's the year of the retro 12 and the retro 4. So far we've seen a "White Cement"4 release and a "Playoff" 12 release with many more from each retro number to come. The next release is a newly colorway made retro 4. This retro has been giving many name changes. The original sample name was the "NY Knicks" due to the black, blue, and orange colorway. Then, the name was changed to the "Cavs" due to the game where the sneaker is getting it's name from. But now, the final product is being named "The Shot" based on MJ's game winning shot against the Cleveland Cavaliers back in the 1989 playoffs. These will be quickstriked on May 12, 2012 & will retail for $160.

So far this year in the sneaker game, the Galaxy Foamposite has caused the highest array of hysteria regarding sneakers.

This is a custom, created by C2, that takes the Nike Lebron 9 and gives it a NEW Galaxy look. It is predominantly painted in the same colors as the Galaxy Foamposite and even glows in the dark; Mastery of creativity.

Rah Digga x The Nigga In Me
Tyler The Creator and the rest of Odd Future are young kids and are known for their wild & out of pocket personalities. They are also known for disrespecting a lot of other hip hop artists, especially the old school artists. Apparently, Tyler has been talking greasy about Rah Digga, an old school pioneer for female rappers. (Tyler had just got out of tension with MC Lyte for talking about her sexual orientation). But now, Rah Digga, unlike other rappers, has taken shots BACK at Tyler on a new return-diss track. Rah don't play ..

Stalley x Savage Journey To The American Dream
Stalley has dropped his second mixtape of his career and first mixtape after being signed to MMG. The long anticipated wait is now over and "Savage Journey To The American Dream" is now out. It's the same old smooth Stalley but the sound is a bit more futuristic compared to "Lincoln Way Nights". Nonetheless, it's still a great mixtape.
