During each of the next five years, one $10,000 scholarship will be given to a local Philadelphia high school student who embodies authenticity and individuality -- the core values of Iverson and the Rbk brand.

Crossover Promotions Inc. will also assist in providing financial assistance to a select student looking to attend a HBCU (Historically Black College and University).
On October 17th, celebrities and VIPs will be in attendance at the official Answer IX launch event at New York City hot spot -- The Canal Room. As the start of the 2005-06 NBA season nears, Iverson looks to continue to add to a legacy that has seen him be named NBA Rookie of the Year, NBA Most Valuable Player, NBA scoring champion, USA Basketball Olympian, and two-time NBA All-Star Most Valuable Player.
The Answer IX is the tenth shoe in the Iverson collection and the first to feature Reebok's innovative "The PUMP" customization technology. Available on November 4th, for a suggested retail price of $125, the Answer IX will have an adjustable switch that allows "The PUMP" technology to be turned on or off.
