Nike just unveiled the Giannis Freak 8, inspired by the versatility that powers Giannis Antetokounmpo’s game. Designed for speed and agility on the court, the upper was reconstructed to contain a full-length ReactX midsole. While the reinforced heel counter was redesigned in a swooping feather pattern, reminiscent of wings. These upgrades combined with enhanced traction help keep the (soon to be former?) Milwaukee Bucks forward steady on his feet while making game-changing plays.
According to Nike, one of Giannis’ priorities for the launch was to focus on ‘young players striving to reach the next level.’ This is why he committed to maintain the same price point with the Freak 8 as the Freak 7 – $115.00.
