• Giannis has skyrocketed from unknown to all-timer, from the hard scrabble streets of Athens to first name basis in the basketball world. He’s gone global while staying true to his self-deprecating, family-first persona that harkens back to his humble beginnings peddling DVDs on street corners in Greece just to help put food on the table. This colorway celebrates Giannis’ stops along his journey and those who have been there for him since Day 1.
• The lightweight midsole is hollowed out under the forefoot, where 2 Zoom Air units are positioned. This allows the Zoom Air units to compress under the weight, then expand and help return energy. Also, they're slightly tilted and primed for your forward motion, like a 100-meter sprinter emerging from the starting blocks, so that you can keep attacking the rim.
• The computer-generated outsole has multidirectional traction in a pattern that resembles a topographical map. It helps optimize ground contact and change-of-direction opportunities.
• An external piece of lightweight, durable foam is built into the outer-side midsole. It helps keep your foot stable over the footbed when making quick side-to-side changes.
• Cutouts in the foam under the toe and heel help reduce overall weight.
• Molded grooves in the rubber outsole allow the shoes to bend and flex.
• Molded backwards Swoosh logo is a signature of Giannis’ Freak shoes.
