Wow it was diffrent in Sweden, Nobody could afford the Shaq's (that i know) that was like the holy grail. You alwaysvused to go to the sporting shops and they always had a replica of shaq's gigantic shoe. It was like 150$ at the time, the most i got sneakers for as a kid was 50$ and those was FIRE, regular joint like 20-30$ and nobody had jordans. Dont even think thet existed out here in the 90s. Reeboks was tha shyt. When air forces become popular is when people started rocking nike again and Js aint become popular until tha mid 2000s

[@killaskrilla5320]

They was just a dream for me, might cop em someday just to fulfill that lol... but you woulda been tha man out here with those as a kid in the 90's

[@cactusjake23]

Shaq definitely made a legacy for himself… certified legend. 🐐🧠

[@gotetnies]

I like how Shaq lowkey had them only purchase Reeboks to support the brand he co-owns. Smart man.

Should’ve Been “Goes Sneaker Whooping “

[@Ceebrze3]

For someone who’s never met Shaq I am convinced that he really is as kind and genuine as he appears on TV.

[@Moadar]

I knew the parents of an NBA player. They loved Shaq. His dad talked about what a great guy he was nonstop. This was coming from really good people.

[@qs3162]

I normally skip through these interviews and get straight to the total, but this time I sat through and you can't help but realise how genuine and humble Shaq is, long may his business ventures continue and thrive.

[@michaeltaller2795]

What’s the point in clicking the video just to see the price lol?

[@alberts1985]

Finally some Reebok mentions. Everyone always talking about new balance and Nike

[@znycelondon5313]

Truly A human being like no other! 🥰🥰🥰 A shame there are not more athletes that give back to the youth of today!

[@FOXROKT]

We need more Shaq’s in this world

[@dr.jasonhoman6277]

One of the most down to earth guests here, and he's probably the biggest mega star too!

[@HellYeahKimballsBBQ]

Shaq is da man! Huge fan since I was 13, and worked every summer to buy me the new Shaq's for basketball season. The 3's and 4's and then the Shaqnosis which I customized to a low shoe with an exacto knife. Now I'm 42, I am glad to see he stuck to his roots and his so humble! TWiSM baby!

[@sherrellseda5049]

What a wonderful man🔥🔥🔥❤️Thanks Shaq for all you have done& are doing in this world💯

[@bastianknudsen7709]

Hes just so humble, gotta love him

[@jim-mf3dv]

shaq is the farthest thing from humble

[@cfunkbooya]

Being a big guy and growing up poor i had me a few pair of shaqs, This and his continued grace and utter american spirit he in my book will always be the goat.

[@AntPxx]

Seeing celebrities donate is the best 🔥🔥🔥

[@RJazz909]

As a Boys & Girls Club kid, I already had some respect for Shaq for being one too.... Seeing this and hearing his story, then watching how he bought more club kids shoes... My respect for this man has gone through the roof and I can't stop smiling. Think I might get rid of my LeBrons for a pair of Shaqs....

[@Jonny_World]

I've owned a few pairs of Shaq and they held up pretty well Shaq is still underrated to me he's a true legend

[@cripto2813]

Yep

[@PostUp_Time]

"PRETTY WELL"? WHERE DID YOU LEARN ENGLISH?

[@casyop7402]

@@PostUp_Time what are you talking about dawg

[@anthonybautista3585]

Tbh back then I thought they were wack but after seeing ur comment.i might give them a shot.its stinks when u pay a good price for shoes n yet it lasts 1yr n half or so unless u REALLY take good care of them.i say that cuz yes it should be obvious but when u do have alot of stuff goin on whether dancing or music wise.they can wear out alot quicker.they didn't have dancing shoes back then but I guess u never judge a book by its cover

[@yell0wberry]

I got the ones from Payless, the all white Air Force, one looking pair with the Shaq insignia
