The “All-Star” Freak 5, clothed in bright crimson, university red, and white, symbolises the Antetokounmpo brothers’ sacrifices and common journey. A handwritten letter from Giannis to Thanasis on the collar reads, “Thanasis thanks for sharing,” evoking memories of their shoe sharing days.

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.

Beginning February 16, 2024, certain Nike Basketball stores will sell the Nike Zoom Freak 5 “All-Star” in-store, online, and through Nike.com. It is available in men’s sizes and costs $140 USD.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s journey from sharing sneakers with Thanasis to becoming an NBA star is a tribute to perseverance and camaraderie. The Zoom Freak 5 “All-Star” version commemorates their story by depicting their connection and Giannis’ unrelenting pursuit of success both on and off the court.
