Shaquille O'Neal Admits Jealousy Over Michael Jordan's Iconic Nike Collection

In the nascent stages of his career, Shaquille O’Neal made waves in the sneaker realm through an influential partnership with Reebok, unveiling some of the most iconic basketball shoes of the 1990s. However, it was his collaboration with Walmart that truly set him apart, as he sought to ensure affordability in children's footwear, proving that financial barriers shouldn't impede access to quality sneakers. The result was an astonishing sale of millions of pairs, underscoring his prowess in both sports and business. Yet, O'Neal candidly expresses his rivalry with Nike and Michael Jordan. In a recent appearance on The Pivot podcast, he reflected on a child's request for Jordan sneakers, highlighting the significant gap in their market share, which drove his ambition to revive Reebok’s status alongside his own new Netflix series, Power Moves.
