Smiley celebrates its 50th anniversary and has been working alongside many different brands to do so -- the latest comes in the form of the Shaq Attaq sneaker model along Reebok. The shoes are detailed with playful touches throughout and boast a colorful theme.
It is detailed with a plethora of pastel colors with green along the sides of the shaggy suede quarters and the collars. Soft pink and baby blue makes up the ankles near the back side and the overlaying details. Black overlays add a stark contrast and can be seen along the vector logos and the toe box sections. Rounding out the new sneaker iteration is a range of Reebok and Smiley logo accents.
