Following its fuzzy take on the Club C, Reebok and Brain Dead are back again for another psyched-out collaborative release. This time around, the duo has selected Shaquille O’Neal most recognized model, the Shaqnosis, as the canvas for their latest project.

The mesmerizing silhouette invites you into a mystical world, featuring its recognizable swirling pattern pressed into the upper with a hairy felt finish. The previous is crafted in a “Forest Green” hue, while exposed perimeters see a more vibrant tone. Eye-catching Reebok logos sit center-stage as the design is placed atop a sandy suede base. Additionally, the high-top basketball shoe receives mesh tongues and embroidered patches that boast white Reebok branding.

The same shaggy material makes its way onto the laces, while Brain Dead’s head logo is seen below the previous, also hoping onto the tales. Beige pull tabs complete the look alongside wavy black and green sole units enhanced by DMX cushioning and pale blue branded markings.

Take a closer look at the Reebok x Brain Dead “Shaqnosis” in the gallery above. It will be available via the Brain Dead website on November 29 and via Reebok on December 1 for $165 USD.
