The Hardwood Classics collection from Mitchell & Ness is a niche within the storied sportswear label that truly embodies the brand’s motto of being “The Nostalgia Company.” Each of the jerseys is made up from authentic poly textured mesh with two layer tackle twill appliqués. The jerseys are rounded out with embroidered felt and year patchwork as well as the expected surname and number hit.
The latest shipment to drop at Wish includes the classic New York Knicks Starks Jersey – Los Angeles Lakers Jerry West and 1996-97 Allen Iverson Jersey.
On March 1st, Allen Iverson’s jersey officially rised into the rafters of the Wells Fargo Center. Coinciding with the monumental milestone, his first signature, the Reebok Question has been created in a special “Banner” colorway for the occasion. Featuring a premium construction in suede and leather with the unique touch of mesh jersey material across the upper. Another speckle of detail, golden embroidery is also seen through the logo and “3” at the heel. Be on the look out for this releasing soon at Wish.
Allen Iverson’s iconic Reebok model, the Question, returns this June with two new releases. Dubbed the “Canvas Pack,” these sneakers come in Red and Blue colorways that pay tribute to AI’s Philadelphia 76ers jersey. Hexalite-infused mid-top built with canvas put a seasonal twist on the classic silhouette, with the lacing system and leather toe cap remaining intact along with a contrasting white midsole and translucent outsole to complete the look. Releasing on Friday June 7, this pack will be available at Wish in-store and online retailing for $135 USD.
Detroit’s Burn Rubber has put a new and creative spin on the classic Iverson sneaker for their latest Reebok collaboration. But the drastic change in colorway isn’t the only interesting thing about this shoe. Check out what Burn Rubber had to say about the story behind the “Apollos Young”:
The reason you may’ve never heard of Apollos Young is because he never played one second of A professional NBA game. His new found “fast life” turned this nice little Christian boy, into a certified Rockstar. A.Y. Went from a clean cut, sweater vest wearing schoolboy to a tattooed, baggy shorts wearing womanizer with a no holds barred attitude during the preseason. It started with the double cup lean sipping instead of the Gatorade that his teammates used for refreshments. A.Y. is on record for being the first player to ever smoke a black & mild during a game. Although, as a 14 year man child, he averaged 48.7 pts, 23.3 rebs, & 0.1 assts, the line was drawn in his last preseason game. You see, the inquiry was known to wear his cell phone on him during the game, but no one could ever think that he would take it to the level that he took it. Alot of his antics were swept under the rug because of his superior skill level. One thing that couldn’t go unnoticed, was his last time on an NBA court.
This collab will be available in-store at our Moreland Avenue shop on Saturday 8 and will be released on a first-come, first-served basis. Phone orders will be welcome after 5:00PM EST on the day of the release by calling 404.880.0402 ext #2. Make sure to get here early, because like the career of Apollos Young, this release will be over quick.
