We Like: Shaquille O’Neal in the new Shaq Attaq Modern’s

The original Reebok Shaq Attaq sneaker was born in 1992 and was Shaquille O’Neal’s signature shoe when the backboard-shattering player dominated the court with his singular prowess and skill.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Shaq Attaq this year, Reebok is introducing a twist on the original, called the Shaq Attaq Modern.

The Shaq Attaq Modern was designed to be closer to the current trend of contemporary basketball sneakers. The leather is replaced with a woven mesh upper, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the shoe while keeping the structure of the original in place. The collar features a foam compound with net mesh overlay to provide padding around the ankles, along with custom Pump technology for an adjustable fit. Minimal stitching gives way to hot melt throughout while also providing dimension through the use of technical lightweight synthetics on the upper.

Featured in an allover yellow spark color with sublimated black stripe down the middle, the Shaq Attaq Modern colorway was inspired by one of Shaq’s many nicknames.

Shaq visited Reebok Headquarters in Canton, MA recently to test out the shoes on the court via a pick-up basketball game, which you can check out in the images attached.

The Shaq Attaq Modern is now available for $159.99 and is now available at Reebok.com, Finish Line and additional Reebok retailers starting, Friday, May 19th.

A self-proclaimed fitness maven, Sanders credits her success to hard work, both in her career and the in the gym.

“I’ve always been a huge fan of Reebok and its unique take on street style and fitness, so when I was asked to become the latest member of the Reebok family, the answer was simple,” said Sanders. “I love how versatile this Reebok collection is and allows me to go from the street to the gym and back, which works so well for my busy schedule. This collection really shows women and young girls that you can be fit and fabulous – and that message is very important to me as I live it every day.”

“We’re very excited to have Jasmine Sanders join the Reebok Classic family because she has a unique sense of style that crosses over from fashion to fitness and beyond,” said Todd Krinsky, Global Vice President of Reebok Classic and Entertainment. “Not many people have the credibility to do this. We think that Jasmine is a bold voice for her generation and we’re very excited to share what’s in store for Reebok Classic and Jasmine in the future.”

The Jasmine Sanders campaign for Reebok and Lady Foot Locker launches nationwide in-store and online today. Please visit http://www.ladyfootlocker.com or http://www.reebok.com/us/jasmine_sanders for additional information.
