Giannis Antetokounmpo won the MVP award a couple of days ago. He is likely enjoying the high life. I assume he’s spending some time in Los Angeles and enjoying some much-needed rest. People will not forget about the Greek Freak though. It appears that his Nike shoe is set to drop in stores this weekend. Those who pre-ordered the shoe have apparently got theirs in already. Someone on Bucks Reddit unboxed their Zoom Freak 1’s for the rest of the audience. The colorway is very basic, but I assume there will be flashier versions available for the sneakerheads.

My Zoom Freak 1’s came in today!!!! from r/MkeBucks

Giannis has his logo on the back which we will be seeing a lot of this winter. My guess is Nike will push out Giannis-branded items like shorts, t-shirts, etc in the upcoming NBA year. Making Giannis’ his own brand would be a smart idea considering how much success he’s already had, and the international angle doesn’t hurt either. He also has things written in the sole of the shoe. We see ‘Freak 1’ across the front and on the back, he has all the names of his brothers.

Personally, I will not buy this shoe because I am not a sneakerhead, although I’ve wanted to be so bad. But I know many of you including my podcast partner Mitch Ross will be rocking these for the rest of summer.
