Reebok Shaqnosis, Shaquille ONeil Shaq Shoes

1386 days ago - by Matt Halfhill - 104 comments

Shaq bounced out of Baton Rouge early for the NBA becoming the first pick of the ’92 draft. Immediately he laced a sneaker deal with Reebok and immediately began tearing down backboards while wearing his Shaq signature shoes. One of the most recognizable shoes Shaq wore while on Team Reebok was the Shaqnosis. This hypnotizing upper was far ahead of its time for style, but fit right in with other mid 90′s Reebok basketball shoes including the Kamikaze and the Blast.

Diesel’s Shaqnosis’ were slightly different from those released to the general public. He laced up in a higher high top that gave the shoe more strength for his size 22 feet! (Now he is size 23)

Never mind the unique style of the shoes, the tech was not sacrificed in any way. The shoes sported Reebok Hexalite cushioning in both the forefoot and the heel including the cup form that went up the sides a little bit for added heel support. Maybe remembered more for its looks, the Shaqnosis still has not been seen at retail doors since its release 14 years ago. Only time will tell if Reebok brings the Shaqnosis back, but we can only hope. Hypothetically, if they were to return, would you buy?

I have a pair of these only wore once. I am from UK and went to America and these were the 1st pair of shoes I bought for the sport. Think I paid over $100 for em, but it was the height of Shaq’s career.
I am going to be putting them on Ebay this week, so if anyone is interested, e-mail me stevoal@hotmail.com

Hahaha, my brother and I both had a pair of these shoes when they first came out. They were really comfortable and I’d totally buy them again.

pat
i had a pair about 12 years back i loved them! so yes if i can find a size 11 US of these bad boys i would pay big dollars!!
kyle
I have to echo many of the recent comments. I had a pair of these when I was 6 or 7 years old and they still are, by far, the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. If I could find a original pair in mint condition, size 15 4E or size 16, i’d give up a couple hundred easily. If Reebok reissued these, I would probably buy three or four pair (one for walking and the rest for ball).

Shaq had a really cool pair of shoes that came out sometime in the early or mid 90′s that were featured in a issue of sports illustrated for kids i use to have, They were black and the pump was on the side I think and it came with a air canister to air it up other than pumping it up with the basketball. They were all black with a little blue in it I think. Does anybody know what im talking about or have any idea on how to get them????? Jon Morris????

jon Morris
Hey,
I think the shoe that Shaq actually wore had the instapump system on it. The Shaq shoes after the shaqnosis were designed by E.Scott Morris who is now at Nike. Hope that helps!

Had a pair of those way back when and I’m wanting more than anything to find another pair in size 11. seems like there are a lot of people that would love to get them again, why doesnt Reebok bring them back! they have been my favorite since they came out. I’ve had a lot of different types of shoes, but would give them all back for a pair of these. is there anyway to get the company to re-release them or will they not have the right if ONeil isnt with them? hell they could make a small change and call them something else so they could release them couldnt they?
chaserfan
has anyone heard anything from the company on re-releasing them? Hell I’d even consider buying conterfiet ones if I could find them.
and for those that dont like them, you said so and thats your opinion. I’m sure not everyone likes what you like either. thats what makes the world go ’round.
NOW REEBOK, RE-RELEASE THEM OR SOMETHING ALMOST IDENTICAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Robocop
I still have them, still love them and they still look great.
