The style dons a white mesh upper that's contrasted by a large Swoosh branding that runs across the lateral side. Check out the Nike Zoom Freak 2 below and its four initial colorways in the images below.Previewed during the unveiling of Giannis Antetokounmpo's latest signature basketball model, the 'White/Cement' colorway of the Zoom Freak 2 is on the way.Īccording to the brand, the makeup pictured here is a nod to the concrete roads on the four-mile trip that Antetokounmpo would regularly take as a kid traveling between his Sepolia neighborhood in Athens, Greece, to the gym for practice. Four colorways have been revealed so far, including a “White Cement” colorway that is set to launch on October 1st. The Nike Zoom Freak 2 launches on July 25th with the green “Naija” colorway, paying home to Giannis’ Nigerian roots. Giannis’ Milwaukee Bucks teammates even made a special appearance. Giannis was on the call talking about the design process with Nike Basketball’s Senior Design Director Ross Klein. This allows Antetokounmpo to change directions easily, drive off the forefoot, and land in unorthodox ways on the heel.įor the first time ever, Nike hosted a Nike Members-only signature shoe unveiling on the Zoom video app.

The Zoom Freak 2 also features a decoupled outsole separated into two parts with a supportive shank embedded in between. This comfort is achieved by using a center stack of Zoom, meaning that the wearer is in direct contact with the Zoom with no foam above or below. Giannis has said that this is the most comfortable shoe he has ever worn. This is achieved with Zoom Air in the forefoot and lightweight foam cushioning in the heel. When Giannis hits the Eurostep, a lot of pressure is exerted on the forefoot, so a greater energy return is needed to propel Giannis forward. All this is taken into account when developing the Zoom Freak 2, Giannis Antetokoumpo’s second signature basketball shoe.
