Shaq Attaq 'Dream Team Snub'

The Shaq Attaq ‘Dream Team Snub’ references a mildly controversial episode in Shaquille O’Neal’s storied career: he was passed over in favor of Duke’s Christian Laettner for the final roster spot on the 1992 Olympic Dream Team. The notorious snub informs the design of the high-top, which combines an Olympic color scheme with metallic gold accents and blue and purple neoprene detailing reminiscent of the Nike Air Flight Huarache, the shoe that Laettner wore as a Blue Devil.
