For the rest of us that will wear it primarily for fashion, it’s going to be a bit tougher finding an outfit that can highlight the shoe in spite of the leather. The Freak 2s look like another solid basketball shoe to wear for pickup games, with a higher ankle cut and likely still being lightweight.

Weirdly enough, this shoe might benefit with the reveal of versions with more subtle colors and patterns unlike with the Freak 1s, when the black and white shoes were underwhelming but the colorways made them a must buy. Overall, the Zoom Freak 2s do not appear to look better than the 1s. The biggest issue is the black leather which has his number 34 that is a dreadful look and if you removed that, this shoe looks spectacular. After looking at it more and more, I don’t mind the shoe, but the Freak 1s are still vastly superior. The Nike swoosh is very large, but unlike the Zoom Freak 1s, which was on the heel, this one is right on the center of the outside foot. Now let’s talk about the shoe while drawing inspiration from Kobe’s shoe line, my first reaction is.this isn’t a great look. Woodyard also mentioned that Giannis will wear these shoes in Orlando* ( *writer’s note: There is no reason for the NBA to try this bubble in Orlando, which has been a petri dish for COVID-19 and seen fellow sports league like the MLS fail at containing spread, ultimately resulting in a team completely withdrawing.) but there is this rumor the shoe’s release will be August 1 and 7. It also lists his parents, Charles and Veronica. Once again, it draws inspiration from Giannis and all his brothers (Kostas, Francis, Alex, Thanasis) with all their names listed on the bottom.
