Giannis Antetokounmpo 's First Nike Signature Shoes Air Zoom Freak 1 Release Date & Price in the Philippines

Giannis has been on a roll ever since he answered the challenge of Kobe Bryant - to win the NBA MVP plum! A break-out 2018-2019 season capped off with the NBA Most Valuable Player Award, the Milwaukee Bucks skipper entered an elite club of Nike athletes as he now unveils his first signature shoe - the Air Zoom Freak 1.

This may sound like I'm putting Giannis on a pedestal, but when he was asked about his signature shoe, he humbly admitted that he never dreamed about it, that it was just a bonus.

"To be honest with you, I never dreamed of having a signature shoe. Growing up, the goal was making the NBA; playing hard and helping your team win. This is a bonus," he says.

I can't stress enough how ironic this is. He's so dominant on the court but his humility is off the charts. Such a rare combination these days as players tend to magnify every bit of their accomplishments.


And so, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Air Zoom Freak 1!

Shoe details

For Ballers, aesthetics is one thing, but performance is another. But with the suffused technology in the shoe, you can bet a good ride awaits you.

Feel free to uncover your inner dominant beast when you check out this shoe.

Decked with double-stacked Zoom Air units under the heel, a multidirectional traction pattern, and a rubber clip that extends from the outsole up through the midsole, the Greek Freak's first signature shoe contain subtle elements that are fundamental to serving his unique style of play.

He also honors his love of another signature shoe line from the brand: "Since I was little I have been wearing the Kobes. The fit, feel, and function has always been comfortable to me," he says.

The newest sneaker from Nike will also feature his own logo. Its pattern is built from a repeat of the Antetokounmpo primary logo, an interlocked 'G' and 'A' that gives homage to his family name. Negative space is used to reflect the path he took on the long journey to where he is now, while the clipped corner of the 'G' references his anomalous athletic talents. He is named the 'Greek Freak' after all for his singular combination of length and agility.
