FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the Reebok Shaq Attaq DC Man Of Steel trainers?

These trainers are a collaboration between Reebok and DC Comics, inspired by Shaquille O'Neal's nickname 'Superman' and his association with the superhero.

What materials are used in the upper of these trainers?

The upper primarily features grey nubuck with charcoal-colored overlays, accented by red and blue breathable mesh panels.

Does the shoe offer good support for walking?

Yes, the EVA midsole combined with a full-length graphite plate provides significant support and stability for casual wear and walking.

Are these trainers suitable for basketball performance?

While inspired by basketball heritage, these are special edition lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for high-performance athletic activities. Their construction is optimized for casual comfort and style.

Where can I find the Superman and Shaq branding on the shoe?

The Superman logo is on the Pump button on the tongue. One heel features a 'The Man of Steel' logo, and the other heel displays Shaq's personal logo.

When were these trainers released?

The Reebok Shaq Attaq DC Man Of Steel trainers were released on December 2, 2022.

How should I clean the nubuck parts of the trainers?

Gently brush the nubuck with a dry soft brush. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution and allow to air dry.

Troubleshooting

Fit feels too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing system to find a secure but comfortable fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size if available.

Nubuck material appears scuffed.

Use a nubuck eraser or a soft brush to gently lift the nap and reduce the appearance of scuffs. For deeper scuffs, professional cleaning might be considered.

Discoloration on mesh panels.

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the material.
