bling!

Oh, please...It's a freakin' Reebok! From nj.com.

For those who can foot the bill, an Iverson-inspired $65,000 sneaker
Tuesday, October 26, 2004

The Philadelphia 76ers' Allen Iverson doesn't have a fancy NBA championship ring. But that doesn't mean he can't inspire some serious bling.

Reebok, the star guard's shoe company, has entered what it calls "an exciting partnership" with New York-based craftsman Jacob the Jeweler and created a one-of-a-kind collector's item:

A $65,000 gym shoe.

Okay, it's more than a gym shoe: It's an Iverson model "Question" basketball sneaker.
Not enough?

Well, there is the small matter of the 246 diamonds that didn't come with the black leather high-top when it first hit stores. (For the stats freaks, that's 25.5 karats.)

Worried about someone stealing such a treasure? Don't be. It has security to rival another Philadelphia treasure, the Liberty Bell: a stainless steel carrying case featuring ... a combination lock.

And there is one other problem if you're a bigfoot type: The shoe, available through the Eastbay catalog, is a size 9.
