Swizz Beats officially announced the Shaq Attaq retro. No date or price yet.

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Via Sole Collector.. After years of what could be considered community-wide begging, it appears that Reebok Classics Creative Director Swizz Beatz is FINALLY delivering a re-release of Shaquille O'Neal's original Shaq Attaq signature shoe.

Swizz shared a picture of the upcoming release on his Instagram account earlier tonight, adding "I would like to officially welcome back Shaq to the Reebok fam! The people been waiting for the BIG DAWG to come back! Shaq Attacks & Shaqnosis come back time." 

Yeah, you read that right. The Shaqnosis is on its way back too, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Shaq Attaq first.

The Shaq Attaq debuted on the court in 1992 and hit retail in early '93. Released in 'Home' and 'Away' Orlando Magic colorways, the shoe featured a leather and suede upper, metallic nylon paneling and Reebok's Pump cushioning technology. If you were into kicks at that time, you may remember the life size Shaq cardboard stand-ups in virtually ever store with his own size 20 (actually undersized) on display.

Update We have a release date for the Shaq Attaqs

So is Shawn Kemp holding out on Reebok? Or is Reebok simply not contracting him? I've noticed that the Kamikaze IIs don't have his name on the toebox.

Shaqnosis still look like a tough shoe to pull off...

 

[endemic415]

Yessssssss

Now Nike needs to retro GPs shoes

 

[RustyShackleford]

Thanks you Swizz, thank you so much

 

[memphisboi55]

not sure if he's back or not, but his logo is on the back of these like the OG's

It sounds like Shaq signed off on some sort of endorsement deal or partnership per Swizz's comment, "I would like to officially welcome back Shaq to the Reebok fam!"

Reebok wouldn't be able to release the shoes as the "Shaq Attaq" or "Shaqnosis" otherwise, just like Nike had to release the Garnett 3's as the "Air 3."

The Kamikaze's may be a different story since they don't need to change anything about the shoe other than the "KEMP" tag.
