Pepsi has teamed up with basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal to create a custom pair of Reebok sneakers with a (slightly ridiculous) hidden feature. The custom kicks are fitted with their very own secret stash sole that can house a full can of Pepsi Mini for an instant soft drink fix. 

While Pepsi has been known to produce some ingenious print ads, its latest campaign infiltrating the sneakerhead community is certainly an unexpected venture. Originally partnering in 1992, Pepsi and Shaq aren’t strangers to collaboration, but it's safe to say that this is their strangest campaign yet.
