FAQs

What year was the original Reebok Shaq Attaq released?

The original Reebok Shaq Attaq was released in 1992.

What does the 'Azure' in the name refer to?

Azure refers to the specific shade of blue used for the accent colors on the shoe, such as on the ankle, tongue, and midsole detailing.

How do I use the Reebok Pump system?

Press the pump on the tongue to inflate and customize the fit. Press the release valve (usually on the side of the pump) to deflate.

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?

While inspired by basketball heritage and offering support, they are primarily a retro relaunch. For professional play, consider shoes specifically designed with the latest performance technologies.

What is the primary material used for the upper?

The upper is primarily crafted from high-quality leather with tonal overlays.

What is the significance of the geometric pattern?

The geometric pattern on one of the overlays is designed to mimic the texture of a basketball, adding a unique visual element.

Where is Shaq's logo located on the shoe?

Shaquille O'Neal's logo is prominently featured on the heel of the trainer.

Troubleshooting

Reebok Pump not inflating

Ensure the pump mechanism is not obstructed. Try pressing the pump firmly and repeatedly. Check for any visible damage to the bladder or pump.

Discomfort or pressure points

Adjust the Reebok Pump inflation to a less firm setting. Ensure you have the correct shoe size. Wear with appropriate athletic socks.

Leather creasing excessively

This is normal for leather footwear. To minimize creasing, use a shoe tree when not in use. Avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.

Tread wear on the outsole

Tread wear is a natural consequence of use, especially on rough surfaces. For heavy use, consider rotating with other footwear to prolong their lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. The Reebok Pump system is integrated into the lacing mechanism and can be inflated by pressing the pump on the tongue and deflated by pressing the release valve.

Compatibility: The Shaq Attaq trainers are designed for men and are available in various UK adult sizes. They are compatible with standard athletic and casual wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to clean the rubber and foam components. For deep cleaning, a mixture of mild soap and water can be used, followed by a thorough rinse with a clean cloth.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture.
