Was Shaq popular with the kids back in the day? The answer is yes: along with a superstar presence on the basketball court, Shaq showed a natural charisma behind the camera, appearing in several films like Blue Chips (although that was geared toward older fans) and the Oscar-snubbed “Kazaam” and “Steel”. Let’s not forget the Shaq-Fu video game, in which a realistic plot-line placed Shaq, fully trained in Kung Fu, in a weird dimension in a mission to save a young boy from an evil mummy. The shoes were popular with the kids as well, with this pristine pair of the Reebok Shaqnosis in DS condition bringing us back to the Shaq era of movies and games. The Shaqnosis is indeed headed for a return next month, but with kids sizes not yet confirmed, your best bet might be to cop this new pair from antoniojoaquin123 on my stroes.

With the ubiquitous white on white upper, the shoe retains the simple old school look with some unexpected flair. Hit the jump to judge Nike Free Run 5.0 V4 for yourself and be on the lookout for a release at the end of July.
