There's a reason James Harden played in a pair of Reebok tonight

There's a reason if James Harden didn't wear one of his usual adidas tonight in the game against the Lakers. In fact, the Houston star simply wanted to pay homage to his former colleague Kobe Bryant through a Reebok Questions.

Reebok, for those who have missed it, has been a brand of the adidas group since 2005 and therefore Harden, accustomed to doing 35.4 points on average with his adidas Harden Vol. 4 on his feet, is super entitled to wear those shoes too. Among other things, the proximity between the two brands is such that adidas is planning the release of a Harden ''Question'' colorway, which is reminiscent of the OG colorway worn by AI.

The sneaker in question is Allen Iverson's first signature shoes dating back to 1996, in ''Kobe'' colorway. In fact, at the beginning of the 2002/2003 NBA season, when Bryant had decided to terminate his relationship with adidas by paying an 8 million dollar penalty, he began a period of sneaker-free-agency that addicted him a little more "experts". will surely remember: in that year Kobe wore different colors of Jordan PE (player exclusive), of which we also speak here, as well as two Converse models, two of And1 and, in fact, two of Reebok (the other model is Reebok Answer IV).

This season NBA is not the first time that an Iverson signature appears, since they have already been worn, obviously, by Montrezl Herrell, undisputed king of American kicks rotation together with PJ Tucker.
