Wishing for “Trouble”, Allen Iverson’s Batman and Superman-Inspired Decision Remains Strong

Allen Iverson is flying high with the things he is doing in life. The 11x NBA All-Star, known for his style and charisma, recently talked about matching his game uniform the same way Batman and Superman do. However, he doesn’t want to keep it all for himself according to his plans as the VP of Reebok basketball.

Iverson said that he always wanted to make his game appearances special and a lot of thought went into finalizing what he chose to wear. However, he said that he doesn’t see the same thing being done by the new generation of players.

Allen Iverson wants trouble

The NBA veteran, during a recent conversation with FN, talked about his work as the VP of Reebok basketball. Iverson is currently working with Dominic Ciambrone who is also called “The Shoe Surgeon”. He was asked about what he would have wanted The Shoe Surgeon to make for him if he had been around in the Iverson era. He said, “Trouble. Trouble in the sense of it mattered me so much.” The 48-year-old sounded disappointed in the lack of thought the new generation has. He said, “Guys nowadays wear a color [of sneakers] that’s not the color of the uniform. To each his own, but that was never me.”

Iverson compared his process to that of Superman and Batman while picking out uniforms. He said, “I’ve never seen Superman not have on red, yellow, blue, you know what I mean? Spider-Man got his color, Batman is black, gold. You understand? To me, that’s what a superhero [wears].” The NBA veteran has been a lifelong fan of Michael Jordan, so it was obvious for him to mention the great man in a conversation about superheroes. He said, “My whole thing was always Mike [Jordan] and the way he put his thing together. That’s how I was taught.”
