Freak 4 EP "Unknown"

Giannis is an incessant storm of stamina and skill that keeps coming at opponents for 4 quarters or more. The forward-thinking design of his latest signature shoe helps propel you down the court in a lightweight fit that moves with you. It can handle quick changes in direction on both sides of the floor, giving you side-to-side stability and multidirectional traction as you Euro step to the hoop. This special colorway is inspired by Giannis’ ascension from mystery to two-way marvel atop the basketball world.

Behind the Design

Giannis has skyrocketed from unknown to all-timer, from the hard scrabble streets of Athens to first name basis in the basketball world. He’s gone global while staying true to his self-deprecating, family-first persona that harkens back to his humble beginnings peddling DVDs on street corners in Greece just to help put food on the table. This colorway celebrates Giannis’ stops along his journey and those who have been there for him since Day 1.

Drive Downhill

The lightweight midsole is hollowed out under the forefoot, where 2 Zoom Air units are positioned. This allows the Zoom Air units to compress under the weight, then expand and help return energy. Also, they're slightly tilted and primed for your forward motion, like a 100-meter sprinter emerging from the starting blocks, so that you can keep attacking the rim.

Attack the Rim from All Angles

The computer-generated outsole has multidirectional traction in a pattern that resembles a topographical map. It helps optimize ground contact and change-of-direction opportunities.

Stability for Moving Quickly

An external piece of lightweight, durable foam is built into the outer-side midsole. It helps keep your foot stable over the footbed when making quick side-to-side changes.
