Reebok has chosen Foot Locker as its exclusive partner for the relaunch of the Question shoe, according to Retail Dive. The move follows Reebok's reentry into the basketball arena last year, and the latest effort is a reimagining of Allen Iverson's 1996 Reebok Question. The exclusive arrangement gives Foot Locker sole distribution for a heritage basketball model tied to one of the sport's most recognizable figures. For Reebok, the partnership is part of rebuilding its basketball credentials after returning to the category. Foot Locker gains a distinctive product tied to basketball culture as it competes for sneaker shoppers. The item did not specify pricing, quantities or the launch date.

Why it matters：Exclusive heritage releases are a key lever for sneaker retailers competing for traffic, and the deal tests Reebok's pull in basketball retail.
