Legendary retired Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson uploaded a series of posts on Instagram that said he intends to bring back all of his classic sneakers as part of the Reebok I3 Legacy Collection.
Iverson took to Instagram on Thursday night to share the news with his 3.7 million followers, which included a picture of him posed in front of a wall of retro Iversons and another with Reebok Vice President Todd Krinsky.

The announcement didn't include an official statement on when basketball sneakerheads will see this collection release or what models might be included in it, but it would be safe to expect to see classics such as the Reebok Question Mid and the Reebok Answer IV.
The Hall of Famer also made an appearance on Saturday night at Wells Fargo Center when two of his former teams, the 76ers and the Detroit Pistons, squared off in a battle of Eastern Conference playoff-caliber teams. The NBA's official Twitter page posted a video of the loud reception given to Iverson before the game's tipoff.

Iverson's presence was clearly felt as the 76ers knocked off the Pistons at home, 108-103. In his illustrious 14-year career with the 76ers, Pistons, Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies, Iverson averaged a whopping 26.7 points, 6.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game in 914 career regular season contests.
