In a world full of evil and filth, Shaq truly is a good man
the ad underneath is a good example
Yup….
Diesel 4 Life 💥🙌🏽
One of the best human beings on the planet 🌎 not many around like shaq it’s a rare breed on this day and age 💯
Its not on Us to say good or bad.. what U feel is truth speaking from heart.
Man, when he said "I know kids get teased for wearing my shoe, but my shoe doesn't look like a 29 dollar shoe and I take pride in that". That touched me deep. I think is a shame kids do get tease for wearing Shaq shoes. We got to teach humility to our children.
Shoes are shoes, as long as they look good and are comfortable to wear, it shouldn't matter.
@@koushikvemuri3130 society values material things. Its a terrible way to judge people.
It’s true though when I was a kid it was embarrassing to get caught wearing his shoes. I’m 28 now and to think back on it, it is dumb but what can we do we were kids just trying to fit in.
I had the shaq shoes also the fubu ones too. I got teased but I didn’t let it get to me. I started to look for flaws in them and lit 🔥 their asses up! Went from being picked on to being a cool kid
word to god. we used to call them "air walmarts" when i was a kid. makes me sick thinking about clowning on someone because that's all their parents could afford. Im 35 now and I buy clothes from walmart and target all the time even though I make decent money. It's about looking fly, not spending money. After I discovered thrift stores in high school, I never looked at clothes the same way. You can hit up goodwill and look good for $10.
Shaq is a treasure. The fact he made his shoes affordable to help people is amazing and his contributions won't go unnoticed. He realizes the struggle these kids go through and decided to do something about it, truly an amazing and humble man.
hes the man. spent it on kids. always humble & gives back to the community
I mean, it was nice, but that was nothing to him. It's like you or me giving 5 people 1 dollar each
@@jdreal77 Oh shut up. Someone does something good but it's not good enough
@@jdreal77 The fact you look at what Shaq did in a monetary way says a lot about you, and none of it is good. You're clearly very shallow and narrow-minded, just to name a couple things. You should be ashamed of yourself.
@@jdreal77I doubt you’ve given anything to charity instead of watching people’s pockets worry about yours

He’s so charismatic without trying
I still remember when I was young and my mom could only afford shaqs but I would rock them and to know the back story it actually makes me feel better knowing he made his own shoe to make it affordable for families with low income
Bro I remember going to Famous footwear, and getting DC’s & Sketchers but always having on my mind that I didn’t want her to spend so much, but I still rocked what I thought looked best. Maaan the struggles, now I got more sneakers than I will ever need lol
Them all whites 34s and 32s had us Steppinn S/o dukes
Man I had the white and blue joints everyone laughed at me but I didn’t give a fuck because they were fly to me!
💯💯
Same, i used to play ball with them on and people thought they were jordans LOOL
I love it how Shaq doesn’t buy any pairs for himself and decides to help other people he is truly a good man
mate he could buy the whole store for himself..
Well, does this store even have his size?
@@stonedog23 idk
@@stonedog23 he’d just custom order it..or call the respective shoe brands and inquire!!
Did you miss the part where he owns reebok ??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy deserves so much more appreciation for what he's done over the years for people
Yupp he does do alot DAILY which is crazy.

Wu-Tang AND Shaq is for the kids
“Look…I own Reebok, y’all ain’t walking outta here w/nuttin’ else.” LOLOL. I love Shaq! Whenever I see his generosity I am reminded that if you are not generous with little, you will NOT be generous with much. His generosity is embedded in who he is…not because of what he has.
I love that Shaq is heavily associated with the sneakerhead world, but he is himself an older gentleman who just likes a nice slip-on shoe and making affordable shoes for kids. He's so cool
SELLING SHOES BY MASSIVE VOLUME = MORE MONEY
@@PostUp_Timeyour point ?
I had the Shaqs back in the day, luckily when I was a kid sneaker culture wasn’t as big with the youth so I didn’t get clowned for my clothes. Shouts out to Shaq for making affordable hoop star shoes for the kids.
Shaq is so down to earth. He knows struggle. Mad respect to him in everyway. The realest.
There’s a lot of struggles in the world

@@winndixie5531 okay and what does that have to do with what he said
I still buy the Shawn Kemps Green Black and White! Awesome design IMO
This guy is the perfect example of cool and generous without having to show off.
Well he is damn near 50. Young immature kids do that. Rarely do you see players in the league showing off flamboyantly like rappers, but they all show their wealth in different ways, but as you get older its not as loud.
He don’t need to show off he is Shaq bro lol
Shaq burner
Gayyyyy
@@bossleek9980 😂😂😂😂 i was thinkin the same thing
Man, it breaks my heart to hear Shaq acknowledge that kids get bullied for wearing his shoes, especially considering his brand comes from a place where it cares about its consumer.
I met shaq twice, I can’t get over how large that man is, I’m 6’4” and I felt tiny next to him lol
Yea he 7’1 it’s insane. That’s over a foot above average for a guy
@@bbc_junior4863 and he’s got a wide body, the dude is seriously a giant lol and such a good human being
you should see shaq next to calvin lane
fr bro is huge bro he makes anyone 6’0+ small 😂😂
First time I had a true prospective how large he was when he took a photo with the rock
The world needs more people like Shaq. Such a great person with a big heart.
I second this bro 100%.
Nah such a big man, with a big heart
Gentle Giant !
Sure does, protect him at all costs

He really said “y’all can have any shoe you want as long as it’s reebok” 😂
Istg😂😂
Put some of that money back in his own pocket
I know the third kid was like “Cmon bruh. Buy ya boy them Fire Red 4s”
@@GBullockNC they showed them $800+ amiris I woulda grabbed them 😂
Facts, you know damn well these kids don’t want no reeboks LMFAO. Probably bragging to all their friends that they will be on sneaker shopping and turned out they get reeboks LOL. Props for Shaq for doing this but you know these kids don’t want them shoes bruh
I salute Shaq ever since iv seen him in any kind of light he’s always stayed humble
I was not ready for how awesome and wholesome this was! BIG love to Shaq for everything he does!
Shaq is irreplaceable 😂! "Put my credit card on stolen." Reebok was huge back in the mid-late 90's. They got Shaq, Iverson, Emmitt Smith and Kemp...
Irreplaceable * but facts
Report* my guy can u spell
@@marcuscastellano7748 English probably ain’t his first language allow him
Kamikaze 1 needs to come back.
"Get on outta here. Spending all my money." LOL
Shaq is the man. “Kids always get teased for wearing my shoes” you’re doing the right thing Shaq and it doesn’t go unnoticed.
If I knew someone eating shoes i'd bully them too
@@kingdess0 edited lmfao
Cause his shoes are clunky and ugly, they should have designed some for people with normal sized feet.
New generations are more capitalist loving than ever, no matter what they say on titktok they love their name brands
He may be sensitive at times...but his hearts in the right place. What an inspiration!
I loved how proud Shaq was talking abt having an accessible, stylish shoe families can afford to buy
Shaq is arguably the most humble super star ever. He never forgot how it felt to be a kid from a lower class family.
ua-cam.com/video/GtBZLGNVwg4/v-deo.html
Shaq the people’s champ
dont forget he made fun of a disabled man
Nah is Charles Barkley
I got to meet shaq about a month or so ago and he is as genuine as he seems. He is so caring, soft spoken, and of course, always the light in the room. he was awesome
Shaq is unquestionably one of the most giving and amazing people in the world. Definitely gonna start buying Reebok knowing such a great person represents the brand. Great video.
Shaq really show us that “what comes around goes around”. He been helping people and we see how blessed and successful he’s been.
💯🙏🏽
sorry but that's simply not true..... I wish the world worked in a perfectly just way like you imagine it, but it simply doesn't..... and it's for that reason that when great people like Shaq give from their blessings and their millions, it really means a lot.....
The mysterious woman who said "Make affordable shoes"(while throwing money on his face which he gave her) and the fact that Shaq respectfully realized and called it "blessing in disguise"! Just WOW!!! This world truly needs more of this personality.
Like a nba version of scrooge.

I dont know if i believe the story about the lady...ppl dont like giving money away especially rich ppl...
@@josefigueroa1043 it's $2000 to Shaq that's like a quarter to me 😂

Shaq always been one to give back and help others. His upbringing always keeps him humble.

That was perfect comedic timing- I was dying 😭
“Report my credit card stolen” plus the face he made 😭😭😭
Damn. I am literally sobbing. I didn't see this coming. Everyone buys shoes for themselves, Shaq did it for the kids man. Class act. Absolutely no one will ever be able to replace him
Jaden Smith and Rondo did it too I believe
A lot of people did it
Also Melo.
he cant buy shoes for himself they dont have his size
Dey all bought Reebok so all the money he spent shaq gettin back 😂😂😂
Shaq busted out that old buddies song 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is by far the best episode you've done. Thank You to Shaq for showing us what it truly means to be great. What it means to be a real legend.
I think Shaq has outdone everyone who's ever appeared on this show.
The fact Shaw could've went the Kobe or MJ route with shoes instead made a purpose of making affordable shoes is just mind blowing.
What a great human being
That happened to me when I typed Shaq it came out Shaw. 😂😂 Stupid keyboard
@@underrated7725 I just noticed that lol
Shaq****
This is lowkey one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen from sneaker shopping. I come here for interviews; I get that a majority of the audience doesn’t care about that but this one hit perfect. Fantastic interview, and overall for a good cause. Seeing celebrities buy hype/expensive sneakers for themselves is so hollow. Would be cool to see more like this from complex
I know, I forgot I was watching complex.
Absolutely! Especially these times when we all look to be better and more supportive. Carry it through and ‘demand’ people buy shoes for kids.
Yeah, I enjoyed it too. The interviewer trying to say Shaquille was only one giving his shoes away after the game though! I am from Chicago, trust our ‘guard was doing it before Shaquille was pro.
Shaq is a really, really sharp dude-- he's always played the clown on TV, but he's made nothing but smart moves when it came to business.
The way you described it, isn't "low-key." Coulda used without that word. 🤦♂
This is lowkey one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen from sneaker shopping. I come here for interviews; I get that a majority of the audience doesn’t care about that but this one hit perfect.
"i need you to put my credit card on stolen" had me dead😂🤣
Nobody can ever be like Shaq, he’s an amazing person there isn’t many people like Shaq in this world bro for real.
Buddy's
Shaq has always gotten my respect both on and off the basketball court, world class guy all around that does so much to give back to the people and places dear to him, just a great dude in a world of shitbags
honestly one of the best Sneaker shopping episode I've watched, thanks Shaq
Seeing celebrities donate is the best 🔥🔥🔥
13:20 "Make sure you listen to your parents and teachers!"
Salute to this guy.
Keeping it real with the kids and youth.
We need more role models like him.
God I remember my mom bought me a pair of Shaq’s to hoop in and everybody laughed but damn sure didn’t fake the funk
I've watched a lot of these videos, but this one ranks in the top one: The interview, AND more importantly, the cost of these shoes and the babies that aspire to them... Shaq is, and always has been legendary! You Can't Stop The Reign! Thank you for the upload.
I'd wanna be just like Shaq if I had his kind of money. He gives so much when he doesn't have to and for a lot of people it helps so much so definitely respect Shaq a lot for that and also how he just treats people daily. And was really cool to see how he just bought all those kids some fresh new kicks.
I think this is my first time listening to Joe laugh shaq is the goat
Lol, you can almost feel Shaq's parents projecting through him. "Get on out of here, spendin all my money". Shaq will forever be, imo, one of the most caring, humble, down to earth guys I've seen in the sports industry. The giving he does and doesn't want credit or press for. No tiktoks or instagrams of him feeding homeless people. He just does it. He doesn't care about the clout. Such an Old School Cool. Would love to meet him one day and tell him in person. Much respect Shaq Diesel 👍
I've met him several times in Atlanta and he's really a nice, humble guy in public. I always try to give celebrities their personal space when they're not "working," but he was really welcoming and even approached us on one occasion.
That is such a nice comment. It made smile
Hes also a really good dj
shaq is such a humble and nice human being i love the dude and how he gives happiness where he goes
I'm from southern Africa seeing a dude witha heart is good I'm not used to people with emotions
“I need you report my credit card stolen.”😂😂

he’s to funny
The man only spent like 947$ for them kids 😂 lmao that ain’t shit to him now 💀

I could listen to Shaq talk about pretty much anything and everything the whole day. What a legend.
Frl tho first time I wanted a interview to last longer
What a wonderful human this man is. His kindness always makes me year up. I aspire to be like this, I have the will but lack the funds. If ever I am able, I will follow Shaq's lead. I know what it's like to be the teased kids.
Shaq is so rich and successful yet so humble and down to earth. He is still playful and silly but worth MILLIONS. He never let the money change him and it shows.
He can buy the whole store yet he wears $50 Shoes.
I remember getting a pair of black and gold Shaq high tops for Christmas when I was younger. Made me feel just as cool as the kids who could afford the J’s, dude is truly a legend.
I remember getting the light blue Orlando Shaq jersey. I’ve had a lot of players uniforms over the years, I even have a Kobe jersey in a case on the wall in my game room, and he’s my favorite player ever, but that shaq jersey is still my favorite. Couldn’t tell me shit. Kobe, Magic, and Shaq…my favorites.
I have to say Shaq is the essence of giving back! That's why his blessing come his way
Create yourself.

Much respect for Shaq. I remember wearing shaqs as a kid since my family was poor but also wanted me to be able to play some ball at school. Also remember growing up thinking less of the shoes since Js and Nikes were the hype then and still to this day. But watching this has opened my eyes and made me realize what Shaqs were for and makes me appreciate the shoes my parents had been able to afford. Going to grab some of his shoes out of respect for what hes been doing for kids.
Wow it was diffrent in Sweden, Nobody could afford the Shaq's (that i know) that was like the holy grail. You alwaysvused to go to the sporting shops and they always had a replica of shaq's gigantic shoe. It was like 150$ at the time, the most i got sneakers for as a kid was 50$ and those was FIRE, regular joint like 20-30$ and nobody had jordans. Dont even think thet existed out here in the 90s. Reeboks was tha shyt. When air forces become popular is when people started rocking nike again and Js aint become popular until tha mid 2000s
They was just a dream for me, might cop em someday just to fulfill that lol... but you woulda been tha man out here with those as a kid in the 90's
Much respect for Shaq always taken care of people. Humble
Thank you shaq!!! Back in the mid 1990's as a single mother u made your sneakers affordable for me to buy a BRAND name for my son! Them black and blue Shaq snakers at walmart!!! He passed away in 2012 at 18 yrs old from an accident, but he was so super happy to receive some SHAQ SNEAKERS for 3 yrs straight!!!!! Sending love from Montreal, Canada
Shaq definitely made a legacy for himself… certified legend. 🐐🧠
For someone who’s never met Shaq I am convinced that he really is as kind and genuine as he appears on TV.
I knew the parents of an NBA player. They loved Shaq. His dad talked about what a great guy he was nonstop. This was coming from really good people.
SHAQ 4EVER!!! Most generous athlete
I love Shaq. His spirit is refreshing
Crazy smart move from Shaq. Showing how he managed to get each kid 2-3 pairs and spend less than 1k. Showing the culture you don’t need to spend bands on shoes, be proud of what you got
Shaq is such a nice man
Much love for Shaq 🙏🏽❤️
I'm not ashamed to admit it that in elementary we couldn't afford the big name brand shoes so I wore the shaqs and the and 1's from walmart. Mad respect to shaq for making affordable shoes for families that struggle and can't afford it. He could of brushed the woman off that told him about the shoes but took it to heart and made a change, thanks shaq I know it helped my family out alot.
This is a first for Shopping complex, Shaq just melted my heart, nobody thinks of that. Buy kids some sneakers
He never bought them shoes he gave them away he owns Reebok and got it from adidas look at the list of shoes them kids got
@@erikpersaud2627 he owns Reebok!!!😲😲I mean is there anything you can't do in America.

Truly a gentle giant. Humble and always thinking about others.
We need more Shaq’s in this world
Hes just so humble, gotta love him
shaq is the farthest thing from humble
Truly
A human being like no other!
🥰🥰🥰
A shame there are not more athletes that give back to the youth of today!
I like how Shaq lowkey had them only purchase Reeboks to support the brand he co-owns. Smart man.
One of the most down to earth guests here, and he's probably the biggest mega star too!
Honestly my fav episode of the entire series
Dude a gentle giant now in his second half of his life.....awesome jon
Shaq is da man! Huge fan since I was 13, and worked every summer to buy me the new Shaq's for basketball season. The 3's and 4's and then the Shaqnosis which I customized to a low shoe with an exacto knife. Now I'm 42, I am glad to see he stuck to his roots and his so humble! TWiSM baby!
I normally skip through these interviews and get straight to the total, but this time I sat through and you can't help but realise how genuine and humble Shaq is, long may his business ventures continue and thrive.
What’s the point in clicking the video just to see the price lol?
As a Boys & Girls Club kid, I already had some respect for Shaq for being one too.... Seeing this and hearing his story, then watching how he bought more club kids shoes... My respect for this man has gone through the roof and I can't stop smiling. Think I might get rid of my LeBrons for a pair of Shaqs....
