New season, new team, new state, new jersey number, new challenges and new Freak 8! This season finds Giannis on a new team in the city of Miami and with a new jersey number, "7", turning a new page in his career after 13 years in Milwaukee. He himself stated that when he does not feel comfortable, he performs better, and certainly all these changes aim at another championship for him and the Heat team. In this new effort, he will have the new Giannis Freak 8 with him!

Giannis Freak 8

Despite his talent, Giannis loves hard work. He may be blessed, but he believes the only way to get better is through hard work. The Giannis Freak 8 responds to that drive in every player who is determined to improve by 1% every day, thanks to the highly responsive ReactX midsole and its signature traction. When you're ready to take the game into your own hands, the Giannis Freak 8 will be waiting for you.

Answer with an attack

Get to the basket with the lightweight ReactX midsole that delivers high responsiveness and performance throughout the game. The ReactX foam has 13% higher responsiveness compared to the previous React technology. 

The foam section that mimics the wings of Nike, gives you the support you need to Eurostep with ease. In moves like the deceleration step or spins under the basket, the shoe's signature traction provides top-level grip in every move you make on the court.

Design

Every detail in the Freak 8 is supported by the design philosophy that a player like Giannis represents as a champion, 10-time All-Star, a player whose unique athleticism is his competitive edge.

At the same time, one of Giannis’ key design priorities is to help share a competitive edge with every young player striving to reach the next level, which is why he committed to keeping the same price as the Freak 7.

Giannis' commitment

Details of the shoe, such as the first edition "Buckitos", stem from Giannis' commitment to his daughters.

“I’m a father of girls, so I try to represent them as much as I can,” says Giannis. “I know they’re very young to understand, but when they grow up, they’ll understand that they inspired me to become better. To be a better father, a better person, a better husband, a better basketball player.”
