The “All-Star” Freak 5, dressed in Bright Crimson, University Red, and White, highlights the sacrifices and shared journey of the Antetokounmpo brothers. Reminiscent of their shoe-sharing days, a handwritten note from Giannis to Thanasis says, “Thanasis thanks for sharing,” on the collar.

Giannis and Thanasis’s numbers are engraved on the heel, emphasizing the individual’s tale even more. The sole unit symbolizes duality and sharing with its mismatched Red and White rubber outsole and alternating White and Red midsole across shoes.

A select Nike Basketball shops will sell the Nike Zoom Freak 5 “All-Star” in-store, online, and on Nike.com starting on February 16, 2024. It is available in men’s sizes and retails for $140 USD.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s path from sharing sneakers with Thanasis to becoming an NBA star is a testament to tenacity and fraternity. The Zoom Freak 5 “All-Star” version honours their narrative by capturing their relationship and Giannis’s unwavering quest for excellence both on and off the court.
