Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are gearing up to take on Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers in the first round of this year’s NBA playoffs after securing the third seed in the Eastern Conference this past weekend. The Greek Freak’s dominance this season was backed by the Nike Zoom Freak 5, his latest signature shoe. As he remains expected to wear the design throughout the playoffs, a first glance at what to expect from the Zoom Freak 6 has surfaced.
Two low-quality looks at the sneaker reveal a rose-covered colorway that seemingly builds upon the low-cut build of the Zoom Freak 5. Its oversized lateral Swoosh dips into the midsole again while the overlay that hosts the eyestays no longer covers the toe box. While no details regarding the shoe’s technology have been confirmed just yet, you can expect it to feature a top-loaded Zoom Air unit at the forefoot.
At the time of writing, neither Giannis Antetokounmpo nor Nike Basketball have shared when the Zoom Freak 6 will be arriving on shelves this year. With its predecessor launching last July, it’s likely that this iteration of the sneaker will also be dropping during the offseason. Stay tuned for updates as we await more info about the new sneaker before it later drops via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.
