Little story; I loved Jordan and bought the first 5 Jordan signature nikes... they were average $256.00 in 1994 with the release of his '85 edition. Being only 7 at the time it was more money than my family could afford and I wore those things out hard! One day at Walmart I saw some Shaq's and weirdly thought I'd like these cause I can actually buy them with my allowance and not my grandparents money. Best sneaker I wore! Everyone made fun of me but I just couldn't understand a shoe costing a work week's pay and boy we were poor! I can say I bought these Shaq's through middle school, high-school and even a few in college. Wasn't till recently I heard his story on this shoe. Great stuff!

Aye I love that story! Your story definitely echoes the struggles that many others had which led to the creation of the shoe. I also agree, why not wear the shoes you like, especially when they cost much much less. Thanks for the share!

That means you don't give a f*** what people think you do your own thing and that's what separates you from everybody else you understand the logic of money and wearing Shaquille O'Neal's there's nothing wrong with that some people can't even afford to buy new shoes they have to buy their shoes at the Goodwill so far you sneakerheads that talk s*** on other people buying fakes people didn't grow up with silver spoons in their mouths our parents actually work very very hard for their money🚨🚨🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡🫡

I only wore Shaq shoes growing up since I have big feet. I wore size 10 shoes at 10 years old and Shaq shoes back then were the only shoes made for kids like me. From a poor family with big feet.. I appreciate everything that he does for people in this world. I wear size 13 shoes now so I guess I'm like a ruler short off his feet. My Dad worked for Taco Bell during the time he got the commercials with them for Taco Neck Surgery 😂 he was able to bring home one of those cool displays they used to hang in the restaurants with a life size Shaq photo on it. That thing was pretty cool to have growing up but it got ruined long ago. Still I would love to meet Shaq one day and give him a hug to Thank him for all the time he's put into helping my parents and others out there trying to keep shoes on us kids feet growing up.

I love shaq for this because he had his shoes at Payless and my parents couldn’t afford those pumps I wanted so bad and Jordan Dub zeros.. also rebook iversons we’re crazy prices. When shaq came out with them at Payless my parents were so happy but nervous because they were cheaper but they looked just like Jordan’s and I loved shaq so he doesn’t know how much that move to make them similar is very much appreciated in the hood of Brooklyn! I was so happy to see my parents not stressed to spend money they don’t have but be able to get me cool shoes! Now I’m blessed to live in an area where Ross and outlets you can find classics for so cheap! I found my iversons Reebok for $30 I was so happy! But having Walmart shoes is such a blessing for so many! If they focused on the grip on the bottom they would be the perfect cheap shoe! Put padding and you will be good but it’s such a great move

The big brands cost alot because they're great quality and beneficial to your feet. Its not just the looks, or the name. I grew up super poor, and loved my Payless shoes, but $20 dollar shoes dont last long. Within two months i needed glue cause they would rip or unstick. I couldn't even afford the Spalding olajuhan shoes or shaq shoes from Payless. I had to buy attack force or pro wings. My point is, dont knock on the player or the athlete on price....they cost alot primarily cause of quality.

Shaq is definitely a good dude. I just think he should have kept the prices up. When it comes to shoes especially nba shoes, it's all about flexing. You're not flexing when it's an over supply of them and it's under 30 bucks. That's why kids were made fun of for wearing them specifically black kids. This seemed more of a problem with parents. They should have put money aside or layaway.If money is a problem, they shouldn't be looking to spend it on consumption and should be investing instead so that later they'd be able to buy expensive things with no problem.
