New Orleans-based rapper Curren$y recreates a special version of Reebok's iconic Classic Question sneaker silhouette -- the label originally crafted this shoe in collaboration with Allen Iverson. Reebok and Curren$y give it a makeover that represents the rapper's loud emphasis on aesthetics. The inspiration is mainly drawn from his decked out car as the look includes blue details on the heel, as well as an added heel jewel that has not been done before. It is crafted from a molded chrome with a jet impression. A standout detail of the shoe is the iridescent hues adorning the toe cap that transform in color from green, purple, and blue -- representing Curren$y's 'Pilot Talk' album cover.
The newest Question sneaker silhouette is constructed from a blend of tumble and smooth leather materials across the uppers. Additional details include Curren$y's signature 'Spitta' print found on the lateral areas of the shoe, as well as 'Jet Life' on the tongue to pay a homage to his NOLA crew.
