Allen Iverson Says He Had to Think of Michael Jordan When Designing His Reeboks

Allen Iverson discusses how Michael Jordan influenced his sneaker design.

Allen Iverson didn't have to compete with Michael Jordan only on the court—he also went at him with footwear. In the latest episode of Sneaker Shopping, the Hall of Famer talks about keeping Air Jordans in mind while making his own models with Reebok.

"That was always my competition," Iverson says. "So when we went into the meetings to create new shoes, I always had to put my input in with him in mind, knowing he was going to come out with something dope."

While Iverson is a lifetime Reebok athlete, he doesn't shy away from discussing Jordans in the episode. The video above also has him talking about wearing MJ's signature shoes in college and coveting them as a kid.
