Debuted in 1995, the Reebok Shaqnosis was the fifth signature sneaker Shaquille O’Neal had with Reebok. Inspired by Shaq’s infamous nickname, the Big Aristotle, the Shaqnosis was an exclusive model, described as an “unforgettable and unapologetic” sneaker by the sports label.

Fast forward to recent years, collaborations had been the epitome of hype around the streetwear scene. Riding onto the trend, past collaborations with other brands like Smiley gave a new take on Shaq’s signature models, Reebok has now officially partnered up with creative design label Brain Dead for a new iteration of the Shaqnosis.

Featuring a marbled leather upper, it is wrapped by layers of shaggy suede which gives an optical illusion of falling under a spell of contrasting colors. Equipped with matching black laces and outsole, it is finished off with a silhouette of Shaq and Brain Dead’s logo stitched to the heel and lace stay.

Dropping on 6th October, the Brain Dead x Reebok Shaqnosis is now available for a raffle draw via END. and do stay tuned for an expected future release via Reebok.
