Reebok to Release ‘Shaq Attaq’ Sneaker to Celebrate 30th Anniversary of Shaq’s First Signature Shoe

September 9, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Reebok has announced that Shaquille O’Neal’s coveted “Shaq Attaq” sneaker will make a comeback on September 23. This comes as Reebok continues to highlight its extensive basketball archive through the likes of Allen Iverson’s Question and Answer lines, the revolutionary Hurrikaze and Hurrikaze II, Dee Brown’s Pump Omni Zone II, and more.

Shaq’s first signature shoe was the “Shaq Attaq,” which former Reebok designer Judy Close produced for the outsized rookie sensation in 1992. The design showcased Reebok’s creative approach to performance footwear by combining new “Shaq” branding components with cutting-edge Reebok technologies like a custom-fit Pump bladder and carbon fiber footplate. The footwear, most importantly, gave Shaq the best-in-class stability and comfort on the court as he destroyed countless rims, backboards, and records.

Arriving in adult unisex sizing, “Shaq Attaq” is set for an official global launch on September 23 from Reebok.com/basketball, Snipes, The Athlete’s Foot, and other select retailers. You can see the sneaker below.

Reebok to Release Question Mid “Blue Toe” from Allen Iverson’s Rookie Year

August 5, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Reebok has formally announced that their iconic Question Mid “Blue Toe,” a notable colorway of Allen Iverson’s first trademark basketball shoe that debuted during his outstanding ’96–97 rookie season, will make a comeback on August 19.

The first Reebok Question Mid would debut in 1996 at the center of a revolution in basketball footwear, but the company’s pitch to a young and ambitious Allen Iverson was about much more than just a pair of shoes – it was about their dedication to “A.I.”

“It was a dream come true,” recalled Iverson. “It was close to the same feeling of when you get drafted. Only a certain amount of people have their own signature shoe; that really means you’re special.”

Since then, the Question Mid has cemented its status as one of the most significant models in sneaker history, a symbol of Reebok’s basketball tradition, and a representative of sports culture’s most enduring legacy.

The Question Mid “Blue Toe” replaced its “OG” predecessor that year and gained notoriety on a March night in 1997 when Philadelphia’s rookie point guard Allen Iverson, sporting the shoe, famously “crossed up” one of basketball’s greatest players. The soles of a renowned sneaker serve as a reminder of that momentous occasion and Iverson’s reckless athleticism.

After 25 years, the Question Mid “Blue Toe” is back with a host of original design features like a tumbled leather upper, blue pearlized leather on the toe box, an ice rubber outsole, ghillie lacing, embroidered Vector logos, the iconic “Q” heel logo, and a specially made rookie Iverson sock liner that comes in OG-inspired Question packaging.

Reebok’s Inquiry Mid “Blue Toe” will be available at Reebok.com/US/Basketball, Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Hibbett, and other specialized shops starting on August 19 in full-family sizing. On August 18, Reebok UNLOCKED members will have one-day early access, and on August 12, a select number of pairs will be on sale in-person and online at Packer.

Reebok to Salute Philly Legends with Question Mid #6

July 19, 2022 by newhiphopnews

The highly awaited Question Mid “6” ($160, GX0230), a sneaker inspired by Philadelphia basketball superstars, will be released on July 22, according to Reebok.

To honor legendary hoopers who blazed the way in “The City of Brotherly Love,” star player Allen Iverson wore jersey #6 for the 2002 All-Star Game instead of his usual #3. A white version of Iverson’s first trademark shoe, the Question Mid “#6,” pays tribute to that occasion with red accents, a #6 emblem at the heel, and a specially made commemorative sock liner.

Starting on July 22, select stores, including Reebok.com/US/Classics-Basketball, Finish Line, JD Sports, and others, will have the Question Mid “#6” ($160, GX0230) in full-family size.

PUMA Hoops Announces Breanna Stewart’s Signature Sneaker ‘The Stewie 1’

July 11, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Breanna “Stewie” Stewart, WNBA MVP, Olympian, and PUMA brand ambassador, unveiled the upcoming Stewie 1, the first new women’s signature basketball shoe in more than ten years.

The Stewie 1’s Quiet Fire colorway, which features a startling juxtaposition of black and neon yellow, captures Breanna’s fierce-yet-humble attitude. While a North Star-inspired top captures the Forward’s exceptional talent and pays homage to her high school squad, the aggresive flame shaping transforms into the tranquil ripples of water in the midsole, highlighting the dichotomy of Stewie’s game and attitude.

“Working with PUMA to craft the first women’s signature basketball sneaker in the last 12 years was an honor,” said Breanna Stewart. “I hope that this is the first in a legacy of signature sneakers to come for women athletes across all sports and serves as inspiration for all young people that this, along with any achievement, is possible.”

The Stewie 1 provides multi-zoned monomesh layers for targeted support, breathability, and comfort along with NITRO Foam technology for superior responsiveness and cushioning while remaining lightweight, and a Molded Heel Counter for additional stability and lockdown marked with scars to represent Stewie’s two Achilles surgeries.

The newest example of PUMA’s dedication to increasing equality for female athletes is Stewie’s trademark shoe. With legendary Creative Director June Ambrose, the company formally introduced a Women’s Hoops branch in 2021, and they are still making progress in it. Breanna is taking the next step in encouraging a new generation of young athletes to think that having a signature shoe is a possibility, regardless of who you are or where you are from, by releasing the Stewie 1.

This fall, the Stewie 1 and related items will be offered in North America on PUMA.com, at the PUMA NYC Flagship store, and at a few other shops, with prices ranging from $35 to $140.

SNEEZE and Reebok Team for New LT Court Pack

July 8, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Following the announcement of their original collaboration in 2020, Reebok and street culture outlet SNEEZE Magazine have collaborated on two editions of the LT Court sneaker that are inspired by classic ’90s skate sneakers. The SNEEZE x Reebok LT Court ($120, GW9607/GW9514) will be exclusively sold by SNEEZE starting on July 8 and will then be made available globally on July 15 through Reebok.com and select stores.

SNEEZE Magazine provides an accurate reference to the contemporary street and skate culture within its picture-heavy pages. SNEEZE is a perfect partner for Reebok because of its ongoing goal of inclusive storytelling and “positive vibrations.”

“Collaborating on a shoe isn’t easy,” commented SNEEZE. “It’s a lot of work putting something out there that we would be stoked to wear ourselves. We’ve had a nice run with Reebok and the shoes always turn out better than expected.”

The SNEEZE x Reebok LT Court is crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as a ’80s Reebok Court model and is available in black/white (GW9607) and green/chalk (GW9514) colorways. In addition to maintaining original Reebok design elements like a deconstructed toe box, appropriate foam packaging, and vintage logos, the design makes use of an all-suede upper with contrast stitching. The cup sole tooling was also influenced by renowned Reebok multi-part molds.

“The angles of it are dynamic,” concluded SNEEZE. “Its stance has an attack to it, but it’s also very chill and looks really good on a skater.”
