Almost all signature shoes will have the “Christmas” colorway at Nike this season. This time it is the turn of Giannis Antetokounmpo to see the Giannis Freak 6 benefit from a “Christmas” version, a few days after Giannis Immortality 4.
Giannis' 6th signature shoe stays far from the clichéd red and green colors by opting for a black and sky blue upper to illustrate winter freshness with white finishes, in order to highlight the “Swoosh” in particular. The outsole is also white, as if to blend in with the snow.
The “Christmas” version has been available since midnight on Basket4Ballers at the price of 135 euros.
Our verdict on the Giannis Freak 6
Apart from the name, which changed from “Zoom Freak” to “Giannis Freak”, you have to rack your brains to find the differences between the Zoom Freak 5 and the Giannis Freak 6. The upper is almost the same, whether in terms of design with this big “Swoosh” which now extends onto the sole, as well as materials.
The midsole is perhaps a bit more generous, but the result is exactly the same as on the previous model, favoring dynamism over comfort, and also with the same composition for the midsole and outsole.
The Zoom Freak 6 nonetheless remains a complete shoe, intended for the most lively players and explosive profiles. But we'll come back for the surprise effect.
