Before signing a new sneaker contract, Kobe Bryant, also known as The Black Mamba, received a unique version of the Iverson Answer 4 from Reebok. This exclusive edition, named the Answer 4 'Kobe Bryant' PE, showcases a white tumbled leather upper that is complemented by purple leather accents on the mudguard, toe box, lining, and pull tabs. Notably, this basketball shoe is designed without laces and includes grey detailing on the midsole and midfoot, as well as "I3" branding on the sides and a face logo on the outsole.
