Lot #1116:

Shaquille O'Neal Game Used Rookie Era Reebok Pump Shoes (c.92-93)(TPA Guaranteed)

One of the most dominant big men to ever set foot on the basketball court, Shaquille O’Neal terrorized the paint during his 19 season in the NBA, which included four NBA titles. “Shaq” made his debut as a 20-year-old rookie with Orlando, when he sported these size 20 Reebok Pump sneakers. Apparently the sneakers suited O’Neal, as he posted 23.4 points, 13.9 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game in 1992-93. The massive sneakers display the Magic’s colors, with an electric blue-and-black design accenting the predominantly white shoe. The sneakers portray the trademark Shaq icon from the 90s, an image of a player dunking, a bent rim and “SHAQ” stitched in the backdrop. That image appears on the back of the sneaker and on the inside tongue. The front of the tongue features the “THE pump” innovation, designed to inflate the sneaker for a better fit. A size tag affixed to the inner tongue reads “20 USA,” “19 ½ UK” and “56 ½ EUR.” Capping off this impressive game used relic from the legendary big man is a bold black felt tip marker autograph that graces the left show.
