Reebok introduces a new iteration of the Question Mid sneaker model with the latest Dr. J design update. This celebrates the iconic basketball athlete Julius Erving, who was known as Dr. J. The upcoming sneaker model has branding at the heel that nods to the player's number 6 in replacement of the usual number 3 that nods to Allen Iverson.
It has a white leather base foundation throughout the upper. This is paired with a loosely knitted mesh tongue over the forefoot. It is then detailed with contrasting hits of red and gold detail throughout the different Reebok vector logos and the eyestay lettering accents. It is set to launch officially on July 22nd online at Reebok.
