As in addition, the injected Phylon will serve the whole thing with some solid impact protection and a bit of pep in your step type of action. On the other hand, I see many guards or light players actually enjoying the heck out of this tooling due to a low profile ride in the forefoot that not only offers premium court feel but also lets you be in control of your foot planting in various situations. Why not moving one of the Air units from the heel to the forefoot area for a nearly full-length Zoom Air experience, which is arguably the best thing you can have for the cushion. But then you head over to the front where the only right word to describe this whole madness is “WHAAAY?”. Why? The main reason being that the forefoot is completely “Airless”.Īgain, much like in the KD 12, the heel section in the Freak 1 was freaking perfect: tons of impact protection, crazy bounciness & responsiveness to play around with. The Freak 1, even though rocking a similar Zoom Air tooling in the back, was nowhere near as much fun to play in.
While a full-length Zoom Air beefed up with a double-stacked Air unit in the heel was so much fun in the KD 12. No break-in time is required, well, maybe a quick one to let it mold to your foot for a truly custom fit. Straight out of the box, your feet will be welcomed with an enjoyable step-in experience. Surprisingly enough, having that plastic shroud right on top of the mesh didn’t hinder its softness and form-fitting ability. As for additional support and extra durability, since the upper is pretty much single-layered (cleaned shaved like Giannis’ face), you do have a heat welded plastic shroud overlay covering mesh from toe to heel. Like many performers in this price range, the Zoom Freak 1 is featuring a textile mesh upper with a few touches of a neoprene-like material which can be found on the tongue and the rare portion of the ankle collar. Will they perform as freaky on-court as the Greek Freak himself? There’s the only way to find out… Read on.
So that being said, let’s dissect the new member of Nike’s basketball line-up. And because Giannis is originally from Europe (Greece to be more exact), here we watch each other’s back even when it comes to sneakers, that is why I was blessed to snatch a pair early. After a freaking monstrous season that the Greek Freak had, no surprise, he is this year’s NBA MVP, who also just recently got his freaking first signature sneaker released – the Nike Zoom Freak 1.
