Urlfreeze News: This gets asked to every athlete with his own shoe, but what did it feel like back in ’96 when you got your first shoe [the Question]?
Allen Iverson: When you’re a kid and you’re a sneakerhead like me and you have all these dreams and aspirations, there are no words that can explain how I feel about it because I’m just overwhelmed with the fact that I had a signature shoe. It’s actually “my shoe”. It’s a great feeling, It’s hard to describe, but I just know it’s a beautiful feeling.

AI: I remember the first time I saw a kid (wearing the Questions), I was in my car, I pulled over and watched him in the rear view mirror until he was out of sight. It was just the greatest feeling to see a kid with your shoes on. I remember having my favorite player’s shoes when I was younger and how I felt to get a pair. It was a great feeling.

AI: Man, I don’t know! It was just surreal man. It was just unbelievable to walk on the court and to have your own shoe. This is yours! Like, you got all these different guys and they got on whatever sneakers, but these ones right here are YOURS, exclusively. I just take it back to being a kid, I was 21 years old at that time so you know it was exciting for me. At 40 looking back on it, it’s exciting because that was a great period of time. It’s like, “Damn that was cool.”

AI: I just played every game like it was my last. It was simple to me, it was honestly simple to me. Go out there, give everything you got, every night, try to put on a show and thrill them and that’s that. Because any night could actually have been my last game so I approached it like that. I understood and felt like it could be my last game and it could be the only time a fan would get to see me play so lay it all on the line.
