The Freak 8 features an updated upper construction designed to contain a full-length ReactX midsole. One of the most noticeable updates is a reinforced heel guard designed in a wing pattern reminiscent of feathers. The synthetic upper helps secure Giannis over the footbed, while the midsole helps soften landings for explosive one-footed moves, like his powerful Euro step.

Construction
Design
Every detail in the Freak 8 is supported by the design philosophy that a player like Giannis represents as a champion, 10-time All-Star, a player whose unique athleticism is his competitive advantage.
At the same time, one of Giannis's main design priorities is to help share a competitive advantage with every young player striving to reach the next level, which is why he committed to keeping the same price as the Freak 7.

Giannis' Commitment
Elements of the shoe, such as the first edition "Hyper Pink," stem from Giannis's commitment to his daughters.
"I am a father of girls, so I try to represent them as much as I can," says Giannis. "I know they are too young to understand, but when they grow up, they will realize that they inspired me to become better. To be a better father, a better person, a better husband, a better basketball player."
