Nike Officially Unveils The Giannis Freak 6

Published July 23, 2024

Giannis Antetokounmpo, known for his unstoppable force on both sides of the basketball court, is driven by a pure love of competition and a relentless pursuit of greatness. As a testament to his tireless work ethic, remarkable consistency, and unyielding commitment to his craft, Nike has unveiled the latest addition to his signature shoe line, the Giannis Freak 6.

The Giannis Freak 6 is engineered to be stop-and-go ready, providing comfort in every movement with its Cushlon 2.0 foam and a forefoot Air Zoom unit that ensures a soft landing for dynamic drives to the basket. The shoe includes a TPU midsole and an internal containment structure, offering lateral stability throughout all four quarters. The updated all-rubber Freakprint outsole delivers traction and responsiveness, allowing players to cut confidently. Lightweight, breathable monomesh keeps the foot cool, no matter how intense the game gets.

Personal touches from Giannis are evident throughout the shoe. The Roses colorway represents his relationship with his late father, Charles Antetokounmpo, while the bright green from the Naija colorway nods to his high-energy style and Nigerian heritage. While not revealed by Nike, we previously saw a Halloween rendition and wrote about the unseen Black White colorway.

The Nike Giannis Freak 6 will debut in the Roses colorway on August 16, 2024, and the Naija on September 1 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. In addition to these pairs, Nike is launching multiple team-bank renditions. The retail price is set at $140 for men's sizing ($150 for the special Roses colorway).
