Per photos shared by Antetokounmpo on social media, the sneaker appears to be his newest signature Freak 8. Appearing in a hyper pink and metallic gold colorway, we see a completed updated silhouette from the previous Freak 7. While similarities may be seen in the undulating midsoles and chunky support systems, all Nike Giannis sneakers have had their own unique aspects and design.

Previously, the backwards Nike Swoosh served as a hallmark for Nike Giannis sneakers, so it's interesting to see minimal branding and a clean, metallic gold Nike Swoosh along the center. The shoes feature a contrasted tongue as we'll await further looks to see what the tongue and back heel designs consist of.

For now, we'll patiently await for official retailer images, but fans can rest easy knowing the Nike Giannis Freak 8 is looking like an early hit. What are your thoughts on this new silhouette?
