Sneakers Release – Reebok Shaqnosis “Pursuit Pink/Flash Red/Black” Men’s Basketball Shoe Launching 9/17

Sep 7, 2021

The Shaq Attack is back, baby! This one-of-a-kind launch shoe marries Shaquille O’Neal’s oversized style and larger-than-life persona with Portland Trail Blazers’ point guard Damien Lillard. This Dunkman-versus-Dame release also marks a very notable confluence of adidas and Reebok.

The Reebok Shaqnosis launches in a Pursuit Pink, Flash Red & Black colorway September 17 in men’s sizes.

These men’s basketball shoes are a modern take on Shaq’s 1996 Reebok shoe blended with Lillard’s adidas star power. Get them quick, as this may well be the only adidas x Reebok collaboration you’ll see since the Three Stripes recently offloaded the Reebok brand.

While Dame has publicly beefed with Shaq before, most famously in a bizarre 2019 rap battle, the dynamic NBA duo’s playing power shines through the shoe. The sneaker’s hypnotic (or Shaqnotic, rather) pattern radiates in red and black Trail Blazers colors against a synthetic leather background. The medial side of the shoe includes white embroidered adidas branding nestled among the concentric pattern, while the Reebok vector appears on the lateral side. The top of the lacing system features a trio of white, red and yellow eyestays — another nod to the Blazers — while providing a locked-down fit.

An EVA foam midsole — which continues the red and black concentric pattern while mixing in pink and silver — lends lightweight cushioning to the shoe, while Hexalite puts hexagonal energy return right underfoot. Both Shaq and Dame logos appear on the heels in embroidered silver, which matches the silvery midsole treatment at the heel.

Plush, black structured padding cradles the ankle for a stabilizing fit, while the oversized heel tab helps for putting on and taking off these kicks. A rubber outsole includes wave-like traction patterns and small windows at the forefoot and heel through which the honeycomb-esque Hexalite cushioning remains visible.
