Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are on the prowl for another NBA championship. Hoisting the Larry O’Brien Trophy is an aspiration that takes grit, teamwork, and resilience throughout an 82-game course. With a new season set to tip off in less than a week, the Nike Giannis Freak 6 just surfaced in a new colorway alluding to the wolf pack mentality necessary for such success.
The insoles set the tone for the rest of the design, featuring a graphic of a wolf on the prowl. Taking note from that insignia, the shoe itself revolves primarily around Nike’s hallmark “Wolf Grey” hue. The versatile shade appears on the tongue and bordering leather panel, also playing a role on the gradient mesh center portion. The Swoosh appears in yellow/gold, matching the eyes of the aforementioned wolf on the insoles, while a white midsole and light blue outsole polish off the delivery underfoot.
Nike hasn’t set a firm release date, but pairs are expected to release via Nike and retailers before year’s end (retail is set at $140). See official images below if these speak to you.
