Nike DX4985-401 Giannis Freak 5 Basketball Shoes

Giannis's internal engine revs from deep within, requiring a shoe that can harness his superpower abilities. Enter the Giannis Freak 5. Stacked with stunning speed for super-quick first steps, stuffed with that sort of springy cushioning that can withstand the all-game grind, his signature shoe lets you feel like the Greek Freak. Blow past your opponent en route to the rim while sticking with quick-twitch ball-handlers when a defensive stand decides the game.

Hit the gas

A top-loaded Zoom Air unit in the forefoot provides energy return and responsiveness, putting force into your first step so you can go from the perimeter to the rim with ease.

Stay contained

For all that force and velocity, the Greek Freak needs a design that stays with him, whatever the defence throws at him. Our internal containment system gives you a more dynamic fit system that limits movement inside the shoe without feeling constricting.

Comfort for 4 quarters

The springy foam midsole has a responsive underfoot ride. It adds a soft, comfortable sensation to help keep you moving and energised all game long.

Stick and cut

The advanced traction in the heel enhances your on-court feel. It helps you stick to the ground for a microsecond, while the other directional traction helps you dig your toe in and out.
