Save for a brief period in the mid-2000s where the Pump Omni Lite was retro-released in a few NBA-influenced lifestyle colorways, this is one of the very few opportunities to see the classic sneaker come back in its true form just like the Boston Celtics’ Brown wore them. Check below for another look at the Pump Omni Lite — the quality is exemplary. …
The original Reebok Shaq Attaq is the best signature shoe in Shaquille O’Neal’s footwear catalog. It’s also arguably the best Reebok shoe in the brand’s basketball category history.
It’s sleek, smooth, high (but not atrociously high), comfortable, and different.
In a sense, Reebok’s Shaq Attaq was an answer to all brands where shoes for big men on the hardwood were often unattractive, clunky or slappy, and burdened with straps and heavy rubber. The Shaq Attaq was a new kind of shoe for a new kind of athlete. Just as Shaq himself was quick, exciting, smooth, and new, so was his Shaq Attaq.
The azure blue accents, the mixture of suede and leather, the blue tongue Pump, and that unforgettable “SHAQ” Dunkman logo makes the shoe a classic of the classics.
