Shaquille O’Neal is channeling Maxwell Smart, installing a cell phone in the sole of his size 22 sneakers. Hell, he could fit a rotary phone in there.

The sneaker, which O’Neal intends to wear during games, has an antenna extending from the toe. Ah ha. So the NBA doesn’t allow iPods to be worn during pregame warmups and they’ll let this slide?

O’Neal is a notorious practical joker, so this smells like, well, a game-worn size 22 sneaker, actually.
