Former NBA Legend and TNT analyst Shaquille O’Neal isn’t afraid to be unique. His no-care positive attitude extends to fashion. Like on Thursday, Shaq decided to wear a sick pair of light-up sneakers to an event.
In the daylight, the shoes just look like shiny sneaks with Shaq’s all-white get up.
But, turn off the lights and O’Neal’s shoes speak for themselves, lighting up the dance floor like they were made to belong there.
There’s no way I’m not mentioning Shaq’s excellent use of hashtags in the post. Putting #WhatAreThose instantly excludes him from getting memed on, as he’s self-aware about the shoes. Also, #shaqshoestherealbigballerbrand is a solid dig at LaVar and Lonzo Ball’s shoe ridiculousness. Somehow, these are better than BBB’s ZO2’s.
If anything, Shaq proves the light-up shoes you wore as a youngster are, in fact, in style. But, pulling them off like Shaq did will be a difficult feat. Maybe, we should all stick to our normal pair of sneakers and leave the stylin’ to Shaq.
