Vintage is in the air once more, and this time, it comes in the form of the return of Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq, of course, has remained relevant in sports culture and the world of basketball by not only being one of the most recognizable stars in all of professional basketball, but he has remained a bright side of NBA broadcasting as an analyst and signature part of the NBA game post shoe team of 'Inside The NBA.’

Reebok has joined in on the vintage wave as they are set to bring back the classic Shaqnosis “Washed Black” sneaker that once dominated the court and all of fashion culture. The sneaker originally dropped back in 1995 and has been an iconic sneaker ever since. The shoe features the signature aspects of the original release but with a vintage-washed twist. The hypnotizing upper is what drew many to the original version of the shoe, and it has not lost the sauce that made it so special all those years ago. Along with the teal hit, the sneaker remains one of the most iconic designs in sneaker history. The shoe features the Shaq dunking logo on the back of it as the hypnotizing black and white look continues to melt into the sole.
As the legendary shoe is set to release for $150 USD on April 3, 2025, it is expected-- at least by me-- that all the true ballers and experts out there will be eager to get their hands on the loaded pair.
