The Nike Zoom Freak 5 Floral Love Releases April 2024

Published April 3, 2024

As the NBA season nears its climax, the Milwaukee Bucks, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, are looking to hold onto the second spot in the Eastern Conference. Amidst the intense competition, Giannis has showcased his unparalleled skills on the court and his unique sense of style through various iterations of his fifth signature sneaker with Nike, the Zoom Freak 5. Following looks at the heartfelt Ode To Your First Love colorway, the Nike Zoom Freak 5 introduces a new theme, "Floral Love," drawing inspiration from the rich floral heritage of Giannis' Nigerian and Greek roots.

The Floral Love edition of the Zoom Freak 5 beautifully melds the worlds of performance and artistry. The sneaker's engineered mesh and leather construction serve as a canvas for a vibrant floral pattern, celebrating flowers like Hydrangeas, Lilys, and Peonys that hold significance in Nigerian and Greek cultures. This infusion of floral elements against the sneaker's backdrop provides a stunning visual narrative, intertwining Giannis' heritage with his current journey in the NBA.

Green hues dominate the mesh tongue, leather overlays, and heel tab. At the same time, the pink suede Swoosh and additional pink accents on the branding elements inject a touch of warmth and vibrancy, reflecting the beauty of nature. Underfoot sits a white midsole featuring Zoom Air cushioning paired with a blue rubber outsole.

The Nike Zoom Freak 5 Floral Love will release on April 5, 2024, through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the sneaker will retail for $140.
