Who do you want to see on the next season of Sneaker Shopping?

Man, when he said "I know kids get teased for wearing my shoe, but my shoe doesn't look like a 29 dollar shoe and I take pride in that". That touched me deep. I think is a shame kids do get tease for wearing Shaq shoes. We got to teach humility to our children.

[SabiasQue-f]

I still remember when I was young and my mom could only afford shaqs but I would rock them and to know the back story it actually makes me feel better knowing he made his own shoe to make it affordable for families with low income

[TimeBucks]

Much respect for Shaq, always helping the kids

[desigrl]

In a world full of evil and filth, Shaq truly is a good man

[shredderhector]

The world needs more people like Shaq. Such a great person with a big heart.

[RaineyStreet]

Shaq is a treasure. The fact he made his shoes affordable to help people is amazing and his contributions won't go unnoticed. He realizes the struggle these kids go through and decided to do something about it, truly an amazing and humble man.

Shaq is the man. “Kids always get teased for wearing my shoes” you’re doing the right thing Shaq and it doesn’t go unnoticed.

“I need you to report my credit card stolen” Shaq always playin lol

[monkebeezness]

The mysterious woman who said "Make affordable shoes"(while throwing money on his face which he gave her) and the fact that Shaq respectfully realized and called it "blessing in disguise"! Just WOW!!! This world truly needs more of this personality.

[epzeus]

I love it how Shaq doesn’t buy any pairs for himself and decides to help other people he is truly a good man

[o_sood]

Shaq is arguably the most humble super star ever. He never forgot how it felt to be a kid from a lower class family.

[av]

Shaq really show us that “what comes around goes around”. He been helping people and we see how blessed and successful he’s been.

[Bobloblaw]

Damn. I am literally sobbing. I didn't see this coming. Everyone buys shoes for themselves, Shaq did it for the kids man. Class act. Absolutely no one will ever be able to replace him

[cristiantrinca]

This guy deserves so much more appreciation for what he's done over the years for people

[anonymous-nmwk]

This guy is the perfect example of cool and generous without having to show off.

[keen]

Shaq needs to be awarded the Nobel Peace prize. He's such a good person and role model.

[realfaithlife]

“Look…I own Reebok, y’all ain’t walking outta here w/nuttin’ else.” LOLOL. I love Shaq! Whenever I see his generosity I am reminded that if you are not generous with little, you will NOT be generous with much. His generosity is embedded in who he is…not because of what he has.
