FAQs

What makes the Reebok Shaq Attaq Black Azure special?

It's a relaunch of Shaquille O'Neal's iconic 1992 signature shoe, celebrating its 30th anniversary with a design that closely mirrors the original 'away game' colorway.

What materials are used in the construction?

The upper is primarily crafted from high-quality leather, featuring tonal overlays and geometric pattern detailing. It also includes a carbon fiber footplate.

How does the Reebok Pump system work?

The Pump system allows for a customized fit. You press the Pump bladder on the tongue to inflate the internal air chambers for a snugger feel, and use a release valve to deflate.

Is this shoe suitable for actual basketball performance?

While inspired by basketball, this relaunch is primarily considered a lifestyle and collector's sneaker. For high-performance basketball, modern specialized shoes are recommended.

What is the significance of the 'Azure' color?

Azure is the specific shade of blue used for the accents on the sneaker, featured on parts of the upper and midsole, providing a distinctive visual contrast to the black base.

When was this shoe originally released?

The original Reebok Shaq Attaq was released in 1992. This specific Black Azure relaunch was released on February 10, 2023.

How should I clean the iridescent parts?

Gently wipe the iridescent areas with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch or dull the finish.

Troubleshooting

Pump system not inflating

Ensure the inflation valve is not blocked. Try pressing the Pump bladder firmly and repeatedly. If issues persist, the internal mechanism may require professional inspection.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Minor creasing is natural with leather. For scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a matching color polish. Avoid excessive flexing during wear.

Iridescent finish losing its sheen

Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals or abrasive materials. Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Protect from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic retro design for collectors and fans.
  • High-quality leather construction for durability.
  • Unique aesthetic with iridescent and matte accents.
  • Comfort and support features like the carbon fiber footplate and Pump system.
  • Celebrates a significant piece of basketball and sneaker history.

Cons

  • May be considered a collector's item rather than a daily performance shoe.
  • Specific sizing may be limited due to its special release nature.
  • The retro design might not appeal to those seeking the latest modern sneaker trends.
  • Potential for higher resale value could make it less accessible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. The primary setup involves adjusting the Reebok Pump system for a personalized fit. Press the Pump bladder on the tongue to inflate and achieve desired snugness, and use the release valve to deflate.

Compatibility: This is a lifestyle sneaker designed for adult wear. It is compatible with standard sock wear and suitable for casual outfits.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of the leather and accents:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoe.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
