This kid has size 26 shoes that they modified from Shaq's 22's.

I find it hard to believe that it cost almost 20 grand to do that.

Sounds like a total scam. I bet it cost a few hundred tops for some shoes. Perhaps he should stop shopping in the emerald slipper isles

Maybe not, but if this isn't a scam/hoax (I haven't looked at either page, so I won't say either way), I would imagine that repeated surgeries and whatnot to his feet, making them deformed, would at this point preclude just buying a pair of size 26 sneakers and slapping them on.
