Giannis is already a legend, with a backstory that will stand the test of time generations from now. His gawking stats, celestial skills and galactic game will spark a sense of wonder thousands of years into the future, inspiring eons of hoopers who will recount his name and game with nonfiction tales of his feats. With a liquid-like fit, Zoom Air and a design that moves with you, this special Freak 4 ASW celebrates a legacy that’s still in the making, but will be told over and over.
Behind the Design Nods to Giannis' solar system of support shine bright throughout this design. Names of his family members appear on the outsole while special dates, names and locations on the insole intertwine to tell the Antetokounmpos’ mythical journey. The cracked gold graphic speaks to his family fighting through the struggles, sticking together and, eventually, becoming champions. Drive Downhill We hollowed out the lightweight midsole under the forefoot to place 2 Zoom Air units. This allows the Zoom Air units to compress under the weight, then expand and help return energy. Also, we slightly tilted and primed the Zoom Air units for your forward motion, so you feel like a 100-meter sprinter exploding out of the starting blocks. Attack the Rim from All Angles 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. Stay in Front 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.
