The sneaker wars are getting only that much more fierce with the start of the regular season nearing and no free agent is more attractive at this time than Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Having worn Nike for his entire stint in the NBA, dating back to his international career in Spain, the Greek Freak is a restricted free agent, but fair game for anyone hoping to impress him with their product in hope of having his own signature line of sneakers next season.
Adidas did their part on Wednesday, sending the 6-foot-11 all-around dynamo a truck full of their latest sneakers, including some Yeezys, some Tubular Doom and Crazy Explosive models that can be seen from his Snapchat story.

Antetokounmpo was seen next to teammate Thon Maker, wearing the newest Kobe ADs, which he's worn faithfully — avidly sporting the Kobe X model for the past two seasons.
Nike reserves the right to match any incoming offer for Antetokounmpo, so Adidas has done the right thing by impressing with the quality of product; one that has recently grown in the market, surpassing the popularity of Jordan Brand over the last season.
The Greek Freak will make the most of his sneaker free agency and hope to be showered with gifts as the ultimate prize for these companies. Regardless of his choice, he is expected to garner an offer similar or bigger than Kristaps Porzingis signed with Adidas during last season.
