NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo launched his new sneakers on August 16, honouring his Greek heritage and late father.
Despite this being the Greek Freak’s sixth signature sneaker, it is the first time his shoes have become available to the public.
The sought-after red and white “Roses” Freak 6 shoes are said to be inspired by Antetokounmpo’s late father, Charles, who tragically passed away after suffering a heart attack on September 29, 2017 at the age of 54.
The Greek Freak’s “Roses” is also available in Nike’s “Black/Volt” colourway.
The other “Olympic Origins” Freak 6 style is a kid’s sneaker that pays homage to his Greek roots.
The shoe is also meant to reference Giannis’ contribution to the 2024 Paris Olympics, NBA championship and his MVP award with its gold detailing.
Giannis has used low-top height in all of his five past releases, becoming a staple of the “Freak” design.
