The gold swoosh makes this colorway look like a Christmas ornament.

[@wax4168]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@malcolmbrown3611]

Haha On Hood

[@dirdleader0077]

nah these are the Gucci shoes

[@Antwan.Frazier]

😂😂😂 I can’t unsee it now

[@kenyontucker6469]

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.

[@admplaysball]

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!

[@bananaspoon2]

The black and white colour way makes the whole shoe look so much better

[@emekanwuba1352]

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 🙏

[@engelmann82]

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! 😉

[@AskZeeBraa]

I agree with this 💯

[@bobhiggins450]

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.

[@russellgray1917]

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.

[@RariShiesty]

Bowling shoes and soccer cleats

[@schuylersavage276]

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

[@jaybird634]

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 .

[@packbet]

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.

[@driggaknot6042]

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

[@hectorfigueroa2294]

Facts

[@Galvatron83]

Their content been old already‼️

[@clarencecannon371]

Great review. Design kind of reminds me of the pegasus zoom turbo a few years back.

[@variandavid377]

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.

[@njoomasherif4132]

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

[@WearTesters]

Thank you 😊

[@thevillain1153]

That Nike Air logo at the back, I dig that! ❤

[@JN62678]

Been waiting for this one

[@MadSUPANOVA]

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

[@dukestarfighter]

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

[@WhoGotSwag]

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.

[@2eggrollz]

Came here looking to replace my aging Zoom Freak 2s!

[@tetsuo25]

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.

[@liamrenegado]

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

[@mrshace81]

Your reviews are DOPE! Keep up the good work… You should do a review on ASICS GEL LYTE 3 “Wolverine 1980”

[@sneaky6ix]

Blown up just means bigger. You mean 'exploded view'. Carry on. Love you both.

[@loganthaslogan848]

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

[@ramontobias4567]

the way the foam creases from the rear/heel reminds me of the New Balance 990 V5

[@amnobrega]

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

[@AlejandraHernandez-qe1ri]

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

[@waynetsang7541]

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.

[@cobinhebert7121]

Merry Christmas 🎄

[@quantumkaos94]

This colorway and oreo are 🔥🔥

[@ociregaicrag193]

Ready for the holidays 😂

[@shalakocumberbatch5056]

Dope Spawn shirt!

[@vincentmedina8332]

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.

[@lchood21791]

Gawd damn it 😂 i fear these would grown on me and now I’m just waiting for NBY options😅

[@marclw1]

A must shoe for any Minnesota Wild fan.

[@allensmith9879]

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.

[@seanmurphy3555]

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

[@Polowashere]

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

[@P2Rock]

Black and silver color way is dope. This is 100 an xmas design. Weird for this to be the introductory colorway

[@jesterofrasio5804]

He’s right about the freak 5 that looks really like a bowling shoes😂

[@dre3k92]

And the Air grudge influence continues without releasing the Grudges 😩😩 dope shoe though this is *Yoda voice*

[@C_Los45]

Looks like a Christmas themed soccer shoe💯

[@craiggorman1685]

That red panel looks like shape of the side panel of the shox r4

[@BigSmonster]

Should I get these or GT cut academy? I’m 6’2 180lbs I play forward. Thank you

[@charliefierro3190]

Nightwinger sup? Those remind me of the Durant 11s, Nike is the king of recycling signature chassis

[@puikoiii8751]

still sad that Nike didn't put a decent midfoot plate in the freak4 and now this too

[@andrewevans5582]

I personally compliment the looks of the shoe, looks better than the 3s and the 4s in my opinion

[@quantumkaos94]

Agree nike should definitely put specs info like what they did to Lebron 20

[@WearTesters]

💯

[@markcasuga2474]

i hope the green on those toe area wont be a liability when playing long,its the stitches will be the reason..

[@ThatboiWaterz]

The Freak 5's are growing on me but not this colorway but then again it doesn't look so bad either🤔

[@p.capes1]

These are 🔥

[@Cashmoneez]

I like how the freak line fits but the traction on them have always been mediocre

[@shaiweisberg1457]

Hows the traction?

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Best looking Giannis shoe yet

[@anthonyhill4639]

Where did you get that Spawn shirt???

[@jeffreysmith6475]

What is the name of the song playing in the background ?

[@dannysurya8486]

Cool spawn shirt Chris 😎😎😎

[@MadSUPANOVA]

Will wait for more colorways

[@xaviertaillefer4583]

I don’t like this colourway but I saw that an Oreo colourway is coming so imma get those

[@generalyeet5340]

Can you do a review of immortality 3s?

[@juanjuarez6416]

He must like the Tailwind 79 Because it looks like a basketball version

[@PedroJr-bc9mc]

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?

[@grindtime7972]

thats a badass spawn shirt!

[@day8day]

going back to old reviews for the algo and👍🏼

[@ilovecheese774]

I hope Nike will release better colourways for this shoe

[@jasonjones1192]

The immortality look way better than the zoom freaks for the pass few years

[@Jamrawk88]

These are gonna be at Marshalls fs

[@jbizz23]

If I were an elf these would be my shoe 😂😂 Christmas vibes

[@cobrakainevereverdies6940]

Are they true to size ??????????

[@ShooksToGo]

Please do a review on adidas D Rose Son of Chi 3

[@kensheelabay2512]

this looks like a sports version of the nike cortez’s

[@kill1052]

Everything is done online. The internet is available and I'm assuming that nike expects us to do our own research. I miss the old days when I got to know the people selling shoes.

[@simpmarvel]

Goat

[@LordoftheTHOTs]

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.

[@ry-a0]

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.

[@treyjay9560]

We ever gonna get a performance review or are we past that point?

[@Galvatron83]

Giannis gonna some major ankle rolls in these🤦🏾‍♂️😆

[@acelhyncaraan3281]

If this were Freak and Gucci collab, you all go crazy.

[@p.capes1]

Facts! These are 🔥

[@Polowashere]

I actually love them because they look like bowling shoes lol 😆

[@samaantree]

That colorway looks like something Usain Bolt would wear

[@jtlittle19]

I can see it now…..Coming soon to a Marshall’s or Winners near you!

[@syjeddryan2838]

Conversw 70s high black review 😊

[@redmansam]

When you reviewing the AJ 38

[@damcclung9464]

Sabrina 1 next?

[@suicidal_asylum5782]

You missed how he it has all his family's names on the midsole lol there's a whole documentary about this shoe being made its definitely worth watching I'll see if I can post the link to it here.

[@WearTesters]

We didn’t miss anything. We go over performance features for those that wish to play in the shoe. If you wanted details about design then you already found the right video for that over with Nike’s marketing.

[@shoepaeng]

Released Too early for christmas 😅

[@PjCruzTv]

Reminds me of a Cortez

[@dre3k92]

Please tell me adidas sent you crazy iiifinity? 😳

[@Bliu2th]

The colorway looks like a bowling shoe bit sincw other colorways are xoming out jts growing in me

[@Kuvvvqingqunnn]

Magic Johnson no look pass!

[@macfanguy]

Soccershoe… i’ma hold out for the 38’s.

[@georgegnafakis6420]

LETS GETTT FREAKKKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY... X5

[@jackstewart9904]

It’s growing on me

[@thelightofficial1]

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)

[@pamperkingjazi7397]

NEED DIFERENT NICER COLORS ASAP

[@ZebraCamel]

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

[@BenDover-bq2bk]

Bro Mike is selling giannis like crazy

[@TheSmartSneakerhead]

Def give gucci or christmas ornament vibes

[@thisphone775]

Just got em, on sale for 50, but they feel dead, the zoom is just not there.. And they long. Af.,

[@Tiger24kicks]

These look trash what happened the last shoe i just picked up and these im not feeling at all .

[@j0eyhz620]

Love the shoe just not the color way lol

[@danielconti9029]

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
