Reigning two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo’s next signature shoe, the Zoom Freak 3, has begun to surface ahead of its official launch.

This offering of the Nike Zoom Freak 3 brings back the reverse Swoosh branding from the Air Zoom Freak 1, but instead of being place on the midsole, it now appears on the collar. Another new feature include a midfoot strap, something we’ve seen on other signature models.

Take a better look below, and you can expect the Nike Zoom Freak 3 to begin releasing on July 1st at select Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com.

UPDATE 6/29: Nike Basketball has officially unveiled Giannis Antetokounmpo’s third signature shoe, the Zoom Freak 3.

Similar to the first two Zoom Freak models, the Freak 3 was designed to support Giannis’ unique style of play – paint game. The model features a leather and textile upper with a midfoot strap to help lock down the forefoot. Dual Zoom Air bags at the forefoot of the midsole for on-court responsiveness completes the design.

“One of the hallmarks of his athleticism is transferring energy quickly from leg to leg to maneuver his body through gaps,” said Ross Klein, Nike’s Senior Creative Director for Men’s Performance Footwear. “Giannis works his foot like a gas and brake. He also works all different angles of his foot as he’s driving to the basket, so we wanted to contour the design to fit the way he transitions from step to step.”

Look for the Nike Zoom Freak 3 in its Black and Purple “Project 34” colorway and in an Orange makeup to release on July 1st at select Nike Basketball retailers globally followed by a wider release in North America sometime in August.
