Brandon King

The Reebok Shaqnosis debuted in the 1995-96 NBA season and it will see its third retail runs, with the last one being in 2013. The 2019 will do its best to stay true to the original, coming back with original coloring and details, sporting its white upper with black overlays.

Brandon King

The thought of shoplifters typicallly invokes images of figures lurking in the corners of stores as they attempt to surreptitiously obscure goods and make their way out of the store without drawing attention to themselves. That modus operandi certainly did not apply to a group of thieves that hit up a California Nike store. Redland, California police are searching for a group of males that entered a Nike Factory Store and absconded with thousands of dollars of merchandise. Video taken by a witness named Rosie showed the thieves walking out…
