Antetokounmpo is also starting a new chapter with Nike after rumors back in March about a new addition to his signature sneaker line. Just a few months later, Nike is set for the official release of the Nike Giannis Freak 7.

The Nike Giannis Freak 7 is introduced with a revamped upper construction opting for a wave design and patented backwards Nike Swoosh. The upper is made from special padding from the top of the midsole up through the ankle. This feeds into the full-length Cushlon 3.0 midsole, a first for the Nike Giannis line. The design creates a split duality within the shoe as the other half features a textile design, a running theme for Giannis and his sneakers.
Finer details will include a lockdown heel inspired by Greek sandals along with Antetokounmpo's logo on the tongue. The most unique feature is easily the traction pattern on the outsole, outlining a cityscape with “ANTETOKOUNMPO” spelled out along the top. No other signature sneaker is doing something similar at the moment and it's a nice touch as the Nike Giannis line continues to evolve.
