Reebok dives into its archives for its latest release as the familiar Shaq Attaq OG sneaker model makes a return since its original launch back in 1992. The sneaker captures the essence of the athlete and the silhouette was originally designed by former Reebok designer Judy Close.
It is detailed with branding elements that reference Shaq and has performance elements including the brand's custom-fit Pump bladder and the carbon fiber footplate at the base. The shoe is also made to ensure comfort. The color palette is made to represent the colors of the Orlando Magic and the rest of the shoe detailing includes the midsole-integrated cross-check and side stripe, the Pump-lace enclosure, and the anodized synthetic collar.
