A lot has already been said about the 2012 version of the Reebok Shaqnosis, and that's just been based off of one blurry magazine photo. Now take a closer look at the updated Shaq sig in two colorways. First, a black and white look with red accents styled after the original release. Also, there's an Orlando-flavored black and blue colorway with a white midsole and translucent rubber outsole.

The 2012 Shaqnosis sample features many differences, starting with the overall design of the shoe. No visible Shaq logos, "R" branding on the tongue, large Hexalite cushioning windows and some kind of synthetic overlay on the toe are a few of the other changes you'll notice. Reebok Classics Creative Director Swizz Beatz has announced that these will remain samples, and has instead promised a re-release of the original Shaqnosis and Shaq Attaq in the future. We'll see how that unfolds.
