A more subtle colorway will change the entire dynamic of the shoe. I really do think it looks cool, I'm not a fan of low tops and would really like to see a high top version.
I like the Freak series a lot. As a wide-footer they are inconsistent though size-wise: Freak 1 half a size up, Freak 4 tts...definitely a try on IRL shoe series! 😉
Love these shoes. Got them for 80 bucks at a Dick's online flash sale. I got the Nigerian Nightmare colorway and love the look. Somewhere between a soccer shoe, a bowling shoe, and an actual basketball shoe. The big swoosh gives it a retro touch and the micro-mesh panels have nice subtleties if you look up close. The colors are eye grabbing but not over the top. The fit is snug and the support is firm so it's great for quick changing lateral moves. As a comparison, my Jordan XXXVII's have too much cushion for my liking, these freak 5's are more for me. Great support with such a streamlined, minimal design. Not bulky at all so if you wear them off the court they feel like regular sneakers. Fit is true to size.
Definitely interested in getting a pair of the 5s. I liked the 2 and played in those quite a bit. I feel like his shoes are decent enough and I see a lot of people wearing them, crazy that even after winning a championship, the shoes haven’t really done too much as far as change their tech set up or price
I agree Chris ! We should get some tech specs inside the box . On the inside , on the box to " save" paper . One of my favorite shoe review channel's cause Im also a hooper . So , I value your opinions brother . Thanks for the review as always . God bless and peace .
Definitely looking like bowling shoes, looks like a shoe that you would wear when you're trying to pick up a 7/10 split in the 10th frame! I'm not not really feeling these, but I would probably need to see em in hand. Thanks for the tech spec info, and thanks for another great video from Weartesters.
You ever see the hot pink PE colorway for his daughter? Changes my entire opinon of the silhouette of the shoe. I think this shoe done with one color as the main upper AND outsole, and then the swoosh upper and lower part done in the same color as a pair, that’s how this shoe looks best. But most of the colorways haven’t had any uniformity. Every different panel and part of the swoosh is differnet and it’s terrible! But yeah the hot pink, the white team color with all black smoosh parts, and the all black colorway with all white swoosh parts are all actually super fire. I was blown away after how much I disliked the look of this
I like the runner shoe approach in these. These can easily be a Nike Pegasus. The colorway although Christmas like actually grows on you the more you look at it. In other news, I hope Paul George can have another shoe with Nike 🙏
Bro thank you for being open with your selection of shoes I’m so glad ur not like the others. All they show is different color Jordans all day everyday and there content get old quick but u are on another level bro
i now learnt that theres zoom only in the forefoot, but for me, it just feels like full length zoom. its just that soft material used that makes it unbelievably comfy
As much as I do want to grab a pair once a good colourway hits, no one can deny, this pair hella looks like the Bowling Alley 3's. Also, they seem to have gone backwards tech wise from the 4. The zoom setup looks the same as the Ja and KD Trey 5.
As good as Nike’s cushion technology on the ff: air, zoom, and various foam compounds, it would be interesting to see if they will perhaps incorporate their own performance insole aside from these standard thin ortholite insoles.
im a whole year late, but i really dig this color way. yeah they look like a bowling shoe, but idk that kinda appeals to me. it also look kinda like a gucci shoe. im not into designer at all, but if i were to buy a gucci product, it would be this one. performance-wise theyre great too. no one really talked about these all year, but these were some solid ass performers. so if youre a whole year late too, and youre here reading my comment and also want a pair of freak 5s, id say go for it!
This was certainly a departure from what the 3 and 4 were. I like the simplicity of the design though….and having the reverse swoosh where it is. Really cool.
That green panel along the front-top of the shoe is really reminiscent of football (soccer) shoes - must have been a nod to Giannis' own personal love of the game.
Ma what you doing is awesome and thank you for all information you gave us we appreciate you and we appreciate all the weartester team 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 shutout from libya peace
I was kinda surprised by the design itself, kinda remind me of a football/soccer shoes by design most specialy the green part on toes part were there seems to be a number made from stich.
I know these are basketball shoes but are they good for just walking around or for everyday use? I’ve never tried on the Freaks so I don’t know wether they’d be good for lounging. I’m on my feet all day at work and need a good walking/standing shoe. I love these because they remind me of the Portuguese flag colours. I’m Portuguese hahaha… let me know please… thanks
The smear traction makes a lot of sense now, without knowing it was hallow I was completely kerfuffled. These don’t look too bad tho, Giannis is definitely worthy of a bigger & beefier zoom unit than those 4s.
These shoes definitely look like Gucci had a hand in making them because of the green,gold and red. I will be picking up a pair if they feel comfortable, big fan of Giannis shoes
If this had a regular swoosh I bet people would be going crazy for it. Simple design, decent performance elements, the materials aren't amazing but they look better than the plastic mesh nonsense we get everywhere.. that colorway is just awful though.
Why can’t they stick how they made the Greek freak 1s?? Those are the most comfortable & underrated basketball shoe. I still have 6-7 pairs that I still hoop in.
How do these fit vs the Ja 1? I got the Ja joints in a 13 and IMMEDIATELY took them back and got the 14.. I think 13.5 would've been good but that 13 fit like a size 13 LeBron 9
Can't miss the side LOGO!! On the side.they should downsize it a little,that big side SWOOSH cost might hurt their nikes pockets..is this their Gianni's Christmas model?
The gold swoosh makes this colorway look like a Christmas ornament.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha On Hood
nah these are the Gucci shoes
😂😂😂 I can’t unsee it now
A more subtle colorway will change the entire dynamic of the shoe. I really do think it looks cool, I'm not a fan of low tops and would really like to see a high top version.
I never expected the Freak 5 to be such a good performer. Dont be fooled by the design. I too was a hater of the design until I tried it. Loving it!
The black and white colour way makes the whole shoe look so much better
I like the Freak series a lot. As a wide-footer they are inconsistent though size-wise: Freak 1 half a size up, Freak 4 tts...definitely a try on IRL shoe series! 😉
I agree with this 💯

I like Giannis,Kobe, & Converse low top basketball shoes because they are super lightweight yet stable & durable.

I feel like his shoes are decent enough and I see a lot of people wearing them, crazy that even after winning a championship, the shoes haven’t really done too much as far as change their tech set up or price
I think Giannis made sure that his shoe line stays affordable. Which is why I don't think they will ever go with a premium line for him.
Came here looking to replace my aging Zoom Freak 2s!

Bowling shoes and soccer cleats

The all white colorway.. make 1 with the gold swoop only and an all blk gold swoop. Clean!

Their content been old already‼️

I have a pair, gift from my son, and I really love it, to me, looks like Gucci collaboration!!

That Nike Air logo at the back, I dig that! ❤
@@thevillain1153 yeah man they look really good 👍🏻

Blown up just means bigger. You mean 'exploded view'. Carry on. Love you both.
This was certainly a departure from what the 3 and 4 were. I like the simplicity of the design though….and having the reverse swoosh where it is. Really cool.
the way the foam creases from the rear/heel reminds me of the New Balance 990 V5
Great review. Design kind of reminds me of the pegasus zoom turbo a few years back.
That green panel along the front-top of the shoe is really reminiscent of football (soccer) shoes - must have been a nod to Giannis' own personal love of the game.
Ma what you doing is awesome and thank you for all information you gave us we appreciate you and we appreciate all the weartester team 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 shutout from libya peace
Thank you 😊
Black and silver color way is dope. This is 100 an xmas design. Weird for this to be the introductory colorway
I like how the freak line fits but the traction on them have always been mediocre
A must shoe for any Minnesota Wild fan.
Merry Christmas 🎄
Been waiting for this one
Dope Spawn shirt!
I was kinda surprised by the design itself, kinda remind me of a football/soccer shoes by design most specialy the green part on toes part were there seems to be a number made from stich.
I personally compliment the looks of the shoe, looks better than the 3s and the 4s in my opinion
Agree nike should definitely put specs info like what they did to Lebron 20
💯
This colorway and oreo are 🔥🔥
I know these are basketball shoes but are they good for just walking around or for everyday use? I’ve never tried on the Freaks so I don’t know wether they’d be good for lounging. I’m on my feet all day at work and need a good walking/standing shoe. I love these because they remind me of the Portuguese flag colours. I’m Portuguese hahaha… let me know please… thanks

He’s right about the freak 5 that looks really like a bowling shoes😂
Ready for the holidays 😂
Nightwinger sup? Those remind me of the Durant 11s, Nike is the king of recycling signature chassis
Your reviews are DOPE! Keep up the good work… You should do a review on ASICS GEL LYTE 3 “Wolverine 1980”
These shoes definitely look like Gucci had a hand in making them because of the green,gold and red. I will be picking up a pair if they feel comfortable, big fan of Giannis shoes
That red panel looks like shape of the side panel of the shox r4
going back to old reviews for the algo and👍🏼
These are gonna be at Marshalls fs
Gawd damn it 😂 i fear these would grown on me and now I’m just waiting for NBY options😅
this looks like a sports version of the nike cortez’s
He must like the Tailwind 79
Because it looks like a basketball version
Should I get these or GT cut academy? I’m 6’2 180lbs I play forward. Thank you
I don’t like this colourway but I saw that an Oreo colourway is coming so imma get those
I have a pair, they have names etched in the sides, and what to the words on the logo inside heel mean? A idea?
That colorway looks like something Usain Bolt would wear
I hope Nike will release better colourways for this shoe
Looks like a Christmas themed soccer shoe💯
Cool spawn shirt Chris 😎😎😎
The immortality look way better than the zoom freaks for the pass few years
i hope the green on those toe area wont be a liability when playing long,its the stitches will be the reason..
If this had a regular swoosh I bet people would be going crazy for it. Simple design, decent performance elements, the materials aren't amazing but they look better than the plastic mesh nonsense we get everywhere.. that colorway is just awful though.
If this were Freak and Gucci collab, you all go crazy.
Facts! These are 🔥
And the Air grudge influence continues without releasing the Grudges 😩😩 dope shoe though this is *Yoda voice*
Released Too early for christmas 😅
Best looking Giannis shoe yet
still sad that Nike didn't put a decent midfoot plate in the freak4 and now this too
Can you do a review of immortality 3s?
Why can’t they stick how they made the Greek freak 1s?? Those are the most comfortable & underrated basketball shoe. I still have 6-7 pairs that I still hoop in.
Where did you get that Spawn shirt???
If I were an elf these would be my shoe 😂😂 Christmas vibes
How do these fit vs the Ja 1? I got the Ja joints in a 13 and IMMEDIATELY took them back and got the 14.. I think 13.5 would've been good but that 13 fit like a size 13 LeBron 9
Can't miss the side LOGO!! On the side.they should downsize it a little,that big side SWOOSH cost might hurt their nikes pockets..is this their Gianni's Christmas model?
I can see it now…..Coming soon to a Marshall’s or Winners near you!
The Freak 5's are growing on me but not this colorway but then again it doesn't look so bad either🤔
What is the name of the song playing in the background ?
Conversw 70s high black review 😊
Giannis gonna some major ankle rolls in these🤦🏾♂️😆
Will wait for more colorways
The colorway looks like a bowling shoe bit sincw other colorways are xoming out jts growing in me
When you reviewing the AJ 38
Sabrina 1 next?
I actually love them because they look like bowling shoes lol 😆
Please do a review on adidas D Rose Son of Chi 3
thats a badass spawn shirt!
Hows the traction?
Brilliant performance aside, I’m starting to feel like I’m the only person who likes the design. (I got the maroon, beige and purple colourway)
Soccershoe… i’ma hold out for the 38’s.
I feel like im the only one that likes this colorway lol but guess what. If it said Gucci on it with the same colors people would go crazy
Are they true to size ??????????
These are 🔥
Reminds me of a Cortez
Magic Johnson no look pass!
Def give gucci or christmas ornament vibes
NEED DIFERENT NICER COLORS ASAP
Looks like The Skates you rent minus the wheels 😂
Please tell me adidas sent you crazy iiifinity? 😳
Hideous colorway but tech wise looks like an upgraded freak 1. oreos and all whites look good
« That swoosh needs to be more visible! »
Not sure we can make it bigger than it is with these 😅
These look trash what happened the last shoe i just picked up and these im not feeling at all .
The all white joints look good and gives the shoe its needed justice. Crazy that the Loyalty cw is more expensive yet it looks like booty cheeks XD
Look almost like a soccer cleat without the spikes
The overall design isn't that bad but i am disappointed about the tech is missing. Definitely a downgrade for his line.
these look like some bowling shoes, these the, Who do you think you are I AM 2s
It’s growing on me
