The look is scheduled to hit and select retailers on July 25 with a $130 retail price.įollowing makeups include “Black/White” on Aug. The Nike Zoom Freak 2 will debut in the “Green/White Naija” colorway. The pairing, Nike said, is to help the Greek Freak explode with his movements and support him through the force he generates driving to the rim. The look is built with Zoom Air cushioning in the forefoot, which is paired with a soft and lightweight foam in the heel. Also, it features a reinforced forefoot outrigger on the lateral side near the pinky toe to fortify a high-wear area of the shoe and provide more ground contact. This move, according to Nike, will keep him grounded as he drives off of his forefoot and safe as he lands in an abnormal way on his heel. To ensure Antetokounmpo’s on-court needs were met, Nike built the shoe with a decoupled midsole, which is separated into two sections and also features a supportive shank.

“What’s different about his movements is that he’s causing so much pressure when he hits those steps, like the Eurostep, that we need to help propel him and contain him further near the toe.” “What Giannis does in space is directly connected to his body proportions,” Nike Basketball Senior Creative Director Ross Klein said in a statement. The pairing of these abilities is what makes the baller’s Eurostep move almost unbeatable. StockX Taps Industry Veteran Paul Foley as Its Head of Brand Protection
