Shaquille O’Neal has had quite a journey in footwear. At the Black Footwear Forum in Detroit this past weekend, the NBA icon shared insight into his path to creating affordable shoes. “When I first came out [of LSU], I wanted to be the first big man [in the NBA] to have a shoe. I went to Nike, they didn’t want to sign me, so I went to Reebok. I went back to Nike wearing a Reebok jacket,” said O’Neal, earning laughs from those in attendance at PLC Detroit, the first design-focused historically Black college and university (HBCU) in the country.
