The Rise and Fall of Shaq Shoes...What Happened?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 фев 2022
- Shaq will forever be one of the most lovable and iconic figures in culture. The man has done it all. NBA legend, video games, rapper, police officer, actor and sports analyst. One of the areas of his career that is most interesting to us as sneaker heads, is his Reebok Shaq Attaq line. Something that was a big deal if you grew back in the early 90s. In this video, we're not only going to be taking a look at Shaq's long sneaker legacy but also at how he purposely initiated the "fall" for Shaq shoes by making the cheaper and accessible to kids. Enjoy the vid! -Bryan

Shaq has done it all he’s like the black Johnny sins
😂😂😂
He hasn't smacked Chris Rock. So Will Smith got the shoes and the smack.
Love it 🤣
Except filming scenes...
Even the poor wasn’t wearing the 2. Or 3 just the ones
Gotta give Shaq props for thinking of the families who couldn’t afford expensive sneakers. Most NBA players wouldn’t even consider this.
He’s really a great example of a good person
Happy to see Donovan Mitchell continue with this as well. One of his objectives was to make a shoe that comes in at under $100 (affordable by todays standards)
And Getting Roasted
Marbury
Not sure how you get there the man made boat loads of money off those shoes way more than he ever made off of reebok
I grew up 45 minutes from Orlando. Even after Shaq went to the Lakers, he would still come back to Orlando every christmas and give bikes and toys to underprivileged kids that he paid for himself. It would be on the local news. He could have easily stopped coming back and no one would have thought twice about it, but he cared about the community. Shaq is the real deal. Not gonna lie, I'd love to get a re-issued pair of some old school Shaq shoes.
That lady who confronted Shaq was a blessing in disguise and the rest was history. I wish some athletes would follow what he done for the society. Dr. Shaq is a really wise man.
Haha That lady is really a Queen 👑
Doctor?
@@mujtab8siddiqu1 yes he has a doctorate
But high cost isn't only about brands it also usually reflects qaulity. Any cheap pair of shoes I've had last me afew months but a higher priced pair can last years.
Black youth whether they can afford it or not do not want the cheap shoes with the shack name on them for $30 at walmart. They want the $200 version from the sports store whether the family can afford it or not. This is why things are the way they are in Black culture
90's Reebok basketball shoes were just on a different level.
They really were man. Iconic!
@@NachoAverageFinds my father had a bussiness I will never forget when he bought me the shoes even the teachers were jealous also was dangerous people would do anything to get them still great memories
Remember the Penny Hardaway shoes? I had the poster in my room.
@@jeffrittenour8202 lol
They took off with Dominique Wilkins
What killed them?
They were known by kids as the "Jordans at home" shoe (you can't afford Jordans so you got Shaq), they were sold at cheap stores like Payless and Walmart, which was stigmatizing to kids, and the materials began to be crappier.
Look at how Starter, Fubu and And 1 are now vs originally.
True but I grew up poor and I loved them.
I had a few pairs of shaqs growing up. I never cared if kids clowned on me for wearing them cuz at the end of the day I was wearing an NBA players shoes and paid a fraction of the price. Plus they were built like takes. Those things took a hell of a beating and still held up for years. Much respect
I have the shaqs I love them
I had a pair as a kid they lasted a long time
Glad they were quality shoes. I've only bought one pair of shoes from Wal Mart. A Starter brand I used to mow the lawn, and they didn't even last a year before getting holes in them, wearing them once a week for 6 months a year.
Lol as kids we can be cruel, clowning someone else for wearing shoes bought at Wal-Mart or K-Mart.
As a kid, those Shaq Walmart shoes were my fav ones growing up. I used them till the stitching gave way. Thanks for the walk down memory lane, great vid guys as always!
I love that story! Thanks to sharing 🙏
Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.ddddd
They were good quality too better then most new shoes now a days and about a hundred dollars cheaper
An interesting tidbit he mentioned in his sneaker shopping episode is that Nike actually partially owned the Shaq brand for a brief stint when he first started it, and the designs from that era were the most direct "ripoffs" of Jordans. The use of the elephant print and Jordan-esque silhouettes in those original designs were actually completely allowed by Nike, and remained present in the line from that early era onward.
Aw man I wish I would’ve included that clip in the vid! Thanks for sharing that G
@@NachoAverageFindsI can see some of the 7s on the outsole and 11s upper design on a Shaq shoe here at my local Shoe Dept Encore store!
Those shaq attacks are legit legendary status. I love them.
I hope now that shaq and his people own Reebok they can bring it back to its glory days.
Those shaq attack 3s are gorgeous. I can't believe they never had a retro. Especially when 4 & 5 have had them.
Well said man. Love Shaq!
Im a big reebok fan and ive never heard of a shaq attack 5. They did retro the 1 and 4 in 2013 and 2014. I bought 5 pairs of shaq attack 4s still have 2 pairs left also have a cpl pairs of 1s. I highly agree they need to retro the 3s asap wouldnt mind a cpl colorways of the 2 as well
@@stevenbones1220 a lot hate on the 2 but I actually quite like that silhouette.
I'm hoping shaq has them all released at some point.
A retro of the shaq steel would be awesome too. But only if they put in the original ultra hexalite. I hate that fake rubber hexalite they use today. Zero responsiveness.
@@TheRetroManRandySavage I'm all for a Shaq steel retro and dunkmob retro as well. Hell bring back all the insta pumps and nubuck based blacktop models. They have so many gems it's it's shame they have decided to go cheap on their tech but on the plus side they do have great materials on alot of their models 😒
Shaq seems like such a great guy that’s also very smart. Glad to hear the Shaq brand is doing good since a lot of ppl can’t afford the better known basketball shoes
He is a great guy. I saw a video of him helping a stranger with a car accident on the side of the road
I love how he showed up to Nike HQ in the Reebok jacket. Boss move to keep the meeting AND rep your new brand.
😂😂😂 nobody gonna tell a man that size nothing 🤷♂️
Shaq's Reebok shoes are really cool and unique! Gotta have a lot of respect for him in making a line of affordable shoes for children! Great history video as always!
Thanks Dylan!
It’s about time for Reebok to retro some of these classics again. Great video as always
Thank you so much
Very underrated sneakers but my all time favorites especially the Shaqnosis. Thanks for covering this
It’s a great looking sneaker forsure
I would love to see the Shaqnosis come back now that Shaq has a big chunk of influence on Reebok. That would freaking make my day. Bring those beautiful shoes back!
They released a retro a few years back
@@NachoAverageFinds I might have to hunt that down then! Absolutely a cop if it's the right price!
And just this past October, they released them as a collab combo pair [that Adidas & Reebok been doing recently] with DAME, haha. . The Reebok Shaqnosis “Damenosis” is what it called.
They retroed the Shaqnosis in 20-4, I believe. I had bought them the day they rereleased and I sold them later on. I should have kept them because they aren't easy to find.
Those shoes are sweet
That first Shaq shoe on Reebok is still a classic…I always thought the hypnosis and preachers were a little over the top. That 1st sneaker though had a great silhouette
The colorways are special
Facts... I have a pair right now
i must wholehearted agree the Shaq 1 is a design MARVAL that really got me thinking as a kid in the 90's and yes i totally blame my unshakeable fasinashon whit footwear and design in general and art and technology OMG ......we had no internet back then and for me shoes wher the top of a rabbit warren im still a littel lost in. i mis good old pump's :)
got em the first week they dropped #theREEBOKPUMP
Shaq the greatest athlete model of all time tbh legendary player, iconic tv/film career, 10/10 buisness man, stellar philanthropist. What else could you want ??
Okay bit of a reach
Brian you the Morgan Freeman of sneakers the way you narrate....THE BEST!
Lmao my god thank you so much. Greatest comment of all time. Thanks Nicole!
@@NachoAverageFinds always bro!
Man that last part made my heart light up. Hakeem Olajuwon tried to do the same thing but failed badly.
He’s a goat for even trying
Shaq has quickly become one of my heroes in life. This man is humble and respectful, and he understands that he was lucky in life and he completely 180 his shoe brand because of a confrontation he had with a lady who just wanted to have a fordable shoes for her kids. This man should be given awards and his shoes should be hyped up everywhere so that they are considered cool so kids can wear them to school and not be made fun of.
Shaq will always be my G.O.A.T. for his contributions to his communities and the things he does for random people.
I had a pair of the first Shaq pumps back in the day and they were amazing. Id love to see a day where Reebok Pumps are on store shelves again.
Shaq was like the Incredible Hulk of the NBA his best sneakers is the Shaq Attaq and the Shaqnosis
What up Rob? Definitely the hulk of the NBA!
@@NachoAverageFinds Shaq was the strongest center 💪🏿 of the league at that time he could've played longer had he stayed in the gym
Finally a Reebok video! I own the Shaqnosis, Shaq Attaq and Shaq Attaq IV. The Shaq Attaq IVs are my fave to hoop in.
Haha I knew you’d enjoy it kuya
Hey Ryan!
Do you own the shaq attack 3s?
Shaq is an angel. He just always wants to help people. And he did with those shoes that was his goal to help kids that couldn't afford Jordan's. Shit I was one of them lol
Hopefully Shaq and Authentic Brands Group do more with Reebok than Adidas did. Just lost my employee discount on Reebok stuff right before I was going to buy some Reebok Pump sneakers though lol (used to work at Adidas)
That sucks yea hopefully they turn it around for the vector 💪
Heck Adidas wasn't even putting out some of their real classics because they were too busy putting out bs.... I miss the 80's and 90's sneakers
My cousin, who was a very large kid, had a pair of the shaq attack 1. He couldn’t wear Nike because his feet were too wide. This is a very good video. What’s up doc can we rock? I’m the hoopa, hyper , protected by viper.
Haha Shaq really did everything man
Wow, wow, wow! What a fantastic history vid about Shaq. You're right, Bryan...we all love Shaq 💙🤍🖤🐐
Thank you big Max! Appreciate you man
There is one missed on this list. It's called the Shaq Trainer and came out between the Shaq Attaq 4 and Shaqnosis. He wore the white pair in the Finals against Houston for the home games, and the black 4s for the away games that series. They were worn shortly like the 2s. Thanks for the video. Shaq Reeboks are my favorite. Shaq Attaq I is the most beautiful shoe of all time.
Also 2015 Reebok came out with the Pump It Up Pack there's a Reebok Shaqnosis with the Pump feature on it hasn't been retroed since its release
We should of mentioned thatv
@@NachoAverageFinds There's always a redux besides I have photos of the Pump Shaqnosis
I love Shaq! I'm proud to say I had a pair of his shoes! (The ones sold at Walmart). My Mom was a single Mom, and I'm glad that lady brought it to his attention, and thankful that he listened. 💞
I had a pair of Shaq’s back in grade school, Jordan’s were expensive to me then ,nowadays i can pick a pair of Jordans, got respect that he decided to do something most would not, such an underrated person.
Great video! I heard Shaq say in an interview that Nike owned his “Shaq Brand” at one time so that’s why his sneakers favored Jordans.
Yeah someone else mentioned in the comments that he said it during sneaker shopping episode. I wish I would’ve included it haha
Its funny, i was considering suggesting a Shaq video next time y’all uploaded. It seems you fellas perfectly beat me to the punch
Haha glad we could deliver man. This one took us forever
Still has the Tribute colorway now! 👌👌👌
The only big man with a successful signature sneaker line 👌
That’s very true
Ha, love the Kazaam reference....what a horrible, yet funny movie to watch now
Great work Brian!
Man I loved that film as a kid haha
Love for Reebok, Bought a pair of Insta pump fury OG because of your video and yes they are that good.
Love the instapump fury! Congrats on copping
Massive love for Shaq, one of my favorite players of all time
And in my childhood I used to wear Shaqs on walmart haha and they lasted a while!
Haha Shaq loved you man. He made sure you had some affordable kicks 😂
Officer Shaq! Doctor Shaq! CEO Shaq! Damn the best person NBA has ever produced
Officer Shaq 😂😂😂
I got the Shaq Attaq 1 when I was in 4th grade, then the Shaq Attaq 5 in or around May of 1995 before the finals. It came with the cartridge pump. I remember my dad buying a package of 2 extras. Now I wish it did come with the hand pump, because I loved having the shoes air tight. Im glad the Shaqnosis dropped it, and that was my last Shaq shoe
Edit: after watching further, I remember The Preacher being the end of the line for me and Shaq shoes. Those were uncomfortable for me.
That man got a good heart.
As a kid i was our paperboy and i used my money to buy shoes, I had the original Shaq Attaq's in black and white, i ended up buying the black versions twice because i ruined my first pair in a creek. I loved the Shaq's though, they were super nice shoes.
The working class struggle is real bro .much love and respect to you 👊🏾
I remember the first models of the Shaq shoes, the better model of the Attack was a $35--$40 shoe that was well built probably about $60--$65 today. I almost bought them or Middle school Basketball never did high school due to size, but I was a size 6.5--7 at the time so they were a bit small for my foot when the models only started at size 8, but my dad had a pair for a number of years to play on a rec Volleyball league, cool since he was a Lakers fan as I was. Later the first runs of cheap models would hurt your feet if you got them, and it was hard to find the better model that Shaq wore normally even in actual shoe stores or sports shoes as if the shoes were thought of as a joke since the few models Walmart and K-mart had would be gone right away. Now I see places like Shoe Sensation and other similar discount but not cheap like Big box stores selling the better Shaq lines for people who need a $50--$60 lower end basketball shoe, they can't afford a $130+ shoe that others have or even the lower. These are the people that they have to use low end Filla or other Cheap shoes like Athletetech Walmart brand that hurt the feet.
very underrated sneaker line. fav is the shaqnosis...one of my fav kicks of all times
As always, this was a great video. I think the stories about Shaq and the investments he makes are really interesting.
I Love Shaq's Shaq Attaq. Great video as always. 🙏
A very underrated signature line
Love shaqs reebok shoes I bought em all when they retroed they super comfortable
I actually don’t own any but I’d love some OG Shaq Attaq 1s
Shaq with Wu-Tang is dope
Haha hell yeah it is
Nice One thank you, brings back memories
Great video! This is well informed. What's the background music? They're amazing and give the video more feeling
so glad hes back involved at reebok and really hope they can bring the brand back to where it should be ,great vid thanks for sharing
Love the vid and the nonchalant non over the top plugs
Another great video!! Keep it up guys.
Appreciate it James 💪💪
Another great video! Great job to you and Nacho! See you on FB!
Thanks man appreciate that
Great vid bro. Thanks for bringing some retro flava to the modern sneakerheads
Thanks man I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Another interesting video. Please make a history of Mizuno!! I'm sure that would be a very interesting topic!.
The Shaq attaqs 4 also were instapump with the hand gun… the manual pump was introduced when they re released the vintage line few years ago
I've been waiting this for so long ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yesss glad we could deliver. Thanks for watching Jasper
Great video I don’t no how I missed this one.
Great analysis of one of Shaq's sir quests
Appreciate it Donovan
As soon as you mentioned affordable sneakers, I thought of kd’s first few shoes and sure enough you were right on top of that. You guys know your stuff. Where’s nacho at tho??
Thanks man! Nacho is still a big part of this
Just got a pair of reebok shaq attack superman pumps...love the clips of him bringing dwn the backboard.
I so badly wanted those shaqnosis shoes when I was a kid. I ended up with the kamakazies instead. I’d love a video on those Shawn Kemps. Or a video on Nikes “glove” line with his partner in crime Gary Payton.
The kemp’s was hard tho
I just bought a pair of original kamikaze 2's. Unfortunately they're not wearable, but they look amazing.
I got the Shaqnosis USA ones last year.
Those one shoes that were in the Men In Black was fly as fawk...🤘🏼💯✔️
I've owned many collectable shoes. My favorite pair was Shaq's from a Payless. Why? Because when I got mine my dad bought the same pair for him! Shaq will always have a place in my collection
I find it hard to believe that you're still only on 128k subs. You put so much detail into these videos & it's just a matter of time before this channel explodes.
Great video as always 🔥 I’d love to see one about pharrell’s sneaker history! I’ve been on a bit of a pharrell kick lately, got two pairs of the nmds, but beyond that you could go all the way back to the ice cream bapesta/roadstas and the n.e.r.d. dunks, and into his whole run with adidas and human race :)
Great informational video
Your knowledge of sneaker history is awesome!
Thanks so much! We’re just learning as we go 🙏🙏
Very good summary.
You did a great job on this video.
Great video!
Shaq Fu!! Yeah I'm that old. The pumps were his best colab. Imo I have honestly considered grabbing a pair. Very underrated
It’s time to pick up a pair lol
I wouldn't play in Shaq shoes, But man are they comfy as heck for just chillin. And insanely priced.
Props on the vid 👍🏻
Dope video as always. Top 3 Shaq shoes: 1. Any Walmart Shaq 2. Reebok Shaq Attack 3. Any Walmart Shaq
Man, i'd had great memories with the shaqnosis my very first bball shoes. I remember that i would always get compliments when i wear them to school. For some reason i was the only one who had them.
Shaqnosis are still 🔥🔥 to this day, even the dame Collab was cool. Keep it up Nacho and Brian
Oh man... I was hypnotized by the Shaqnosis back in the 90s.
I always hear about Shaq doing nice things for people and seems to be a genuinely good person
I have a pair of the Shaq ATTAQ in LSU colorway. Cool shoe just so bulky hard to wear casually
3:40 yo hahhahahaha that commercial brought up a lost memory. Nostalgia
I have a pair of his first shoes in the attic, rocked them once and now I gotta go find them!
Got the Shaq Attaq 1 '22 today and I'm so happy. Shaq is the goat to me on and off court
I love Shaq's Reebok signature line. Here's hoping they bring back more of them now that Shaq is part of Reebok's new ownership group.
Shaq's rebooks are fire on its own.His mindset on shoes and that of Marbury really change the climate of affordability.Lit content as always man, and you if you are still reading this , really consider SUBSCRIBING, seriously 🖤💥🖤
Bro. Shaq is probably the best MAN to ever play in the NBA. That tops any negative on his signature shoes or on court play. Dude is seriously one hell of a man.
SO HYPED HE FINALLY OWNS REEBOK (sorta) man I've been waiting for this
Shaqnosis, my 2nd favourite sneaker after J11 Concords.
it took me over 2 decades to finally get one, and I was so elated when I finally got my hands on them!
funnily enough, my first pair of Shaq shoes was the Shaq Attaq 4 Gift Wrap.
for a fat guy with flat feet, that was the most comfortable shoes I ever play ball in.
hopefully, we'll get a pro retro of the Shaq, Kemp, and AI shoes. too bad we didn't get a boost version of em.
Great vid, didn’t know they were originally Reebok. I guess when the history books are written on this, “affordability” will be the theme. But real talk, I remember when I was a boy in an urban environment, too poor for name brand shoes and desperate for anything that would get the other kids to stop ripping me apart over my secondhand clothing. I saw those “Air Shaqs” at, I think, Ames (a now defunct equivalent to Walmart) and thought they were a godsend, just as good as the Jordans but way cheaper. This was after Reebok stopped making them. I was never ripped on harder than when I showed up to school with them on, gleefully thinking I’d finally pass inspection but surprisingly failing worse than if I’d just worn the usual no name sneakers. It is a distinct memory even after decades remedied only by the fact that I was able to excel in school and make something of myself years later, leaving all those bullies in the dust. I know I’m not the only one this happened to.
Shag -Fu 😎⚔️Dude has done it all. Props on the Big Man🏀 Dope Video Bryan keep em coming
Appreciate you Jaz!
I had the first and third pairs of Shaqs. I loved him big time when he started with the Magic. Then came Penny and his shoes are the best ones I've ever seen to this day. I had those as well. I was of course a die hard Jordan fan and had some Jordans as well but nothing ever made me fall in love as much as the first pair of Pennys. The Lil Penny commercials were the best too.
Nice video... Greetings from Argentina
I was so surprised going shopping for my son in Cali and running into these shoes. He loved them and I want to pickup more.
YESSSSSSS ☝️👏….VERY COOOOOOL content Bro’s ✌️
Thanks Richard! Hope you’ve been well my friend
@@NachoAverageFinds , Hey Bro’s how are you guys? I’m ok here in the cheese 🧀 land ✊😊..Amazing contents boys 👌, keep it up 👍 and have a good day
Great video thanks
Thanks Eric! Appreciate it
Shaq is such a cool guy. I remember buying some shaqs in 2003
You had me lmao on his other ventures
I had and loved the white Shaq Attack Ones!
