You can’t say bucks lost because of Giannis getting injured. He tweaked his ankle in game 4 if I remember correctly. Bucks were loosing 3:0 before Giannis’s injury. Heat just had a good plan to play Bucks
Exactly the bucks next we’re horrible and Bledsoe was a mess hopefully with some new players and some more experience we can finally get into the finals if it Giannis is gone
Picked up a dope color way for $120, best hoop shoe I've had in a while. 6'6" 190lbs. Definitely worth the money. Great traction, support, and it's SUPER comfortable!!
@@PenguinThePirate I do! Just make sure you get them fitted in the store because it's a very one-to-one fit. I've noticed a little bit of digging in the toe box after extended sessions, like 3 hours. Other than that it's been great!
Used to be 6'6" w/ sneakers on, still 185. Freak 2's work great for me. Nice and light, nice snug fit for narrow size 15. Got an on sale for $73 to boot.
Looked to me like Giannis' shoe actually *gripped too hard* and the momentum of his movement carried him into an ankle roll. I didn't see any sliding there. If you look at his left foot at the same instant you can see it grab-release-grab-release as well. It's not an issue on that one because he doesn't have all his weight on it. Definitely sliding in your video, but not in Giannis'. Still don't like the shoe, though.
But I think you are right on what you say about the support...I think the shape of the shoe and traction could be much better! And I am waiting for a full length zoom unit also!
Yes.. My son that plays basketball always said that 'it is not true mom because honestly this zoom freak 2 is very good when it comes to performance play'
I think he tweeked his ankle bc the traction worked too well and stuck to the floor and he wasn't ready for it so his ankle rolled... You don't roll your ankle if traction is no good... You do the splits.
@@JAHRONMON I'm not doubting your experience brother... I twisted my ankle once in the drose 7s in the exact same way as giannis... I wasn't expecting them to stick as much as they did and my ankle just rolled right over... Living all the vids... Love from Greece... Going after the Bruce Lee Kobe protro tomorrow... Let's see what the snkrs app will give out!
@@tzikas35 You're absolutely right on the roll but the skidding can def mess up your ankle. I've torn ligaments that way. Should have been more clear about this in the video.
Lol I’ve been playing in these outdoors a decent amount and waking in them everywhere and the traction is just fine soo idk def tho should have more zoom
I also saw Giannis slipping occasionally on some games in the bubble wearing the Freak 2s, but in my personal experience, the traction was better overall than the jordan 34s.
This is what from my experience of playing and coaching. Traction was too good his plant stuck and his body weight cause his ankle to take the roll. Worst traction won’t ever roll an ankle because you slide out.
@@jayyyhammm You guys are only associating "bad traction" with "slipping". But bad traction can stick, as you say, or skid, as I said happened to me with the Freak 2.
I got these and after about 3 weeks, the fabric on the sides started tearing. Definitely think I have more wide feet, but when I first got them they weren’t the most comfortable anyways, so I returned them and got me some PG’s, so definitely get a size or half a size bigger if you have wide feet
The traction on my (white cement color way) has been great. The gym I regularly play in is a old church gym that is dusty AF, but I haven’t had an issue even with hard stops and euros.
I had the translucent traction and I had zero problems. Rather the problem I had with the Freak 2 was the middle separating from the upper, which happened with two pairs for me
It so true, my son's shoe has no problem because zoom freak 2 is my son's shoe and he said that it was the best of all he have when it comes on playing basketball
The traction was great, but I rolled my ankle too. The reason for me was the foam between the forefoot clip and the outrigger is too soft, and compressed when I went for a stepback.
@@legm5298 It didn't have good traction, it didn't have good cushion, it didn't have good durability. It wasn't a good shoe. It was mediocre in performance.
But the thing is that the traction on cement is really good. On the gym floor theres alot of dust that finds its way to the outsole so if ur playing in the gym its a bigger chance of getting injured and ive playing in freak 2s in and out of the gym so its a huge difference in my opinion
For the price and tech it's not worth it. I would wait for the other version. Alternatives that I like and perform better Kd13 Kyrie 6 PG 3 ( if you can find one) PG 4 Kyrie low 2
I have the kyree 6 and they honestly are not that great the traction is terrible and I am a guard and rely on traction but I have never rolled an ankle
Question is it possible to compare a retail release vs the player release? Please correct me if I am wrong. I know that sometimes there are difference from both release (example is the Lebron 15..Lebron's personal shoe has an outrigger while the retail release doesn't have it.)
I’m a volleyball player, I bought the freak 2s and till now I had some issues with the traction mainly in the back part of the sole when I’m doing the final step in order to jump and spike.. I don’t know, maybe it has to do with the difference of the movement..
I think you’re not correct In that clip, giannis planted with poor bio mechanic, so his forefoot took all the stopping force down the floor, and we can saw as the force moved down to the heel, the heel traction gave-out, as the heel lifted slightly and the impact force went up his leg, the forefoot traction experience something called “static friction”, That caused his ankle mobility n strength to break down n he sprained his ankle Basically because the heel traction slipped out + the forefoot bite too hard + the poor biomechanic and he probs had weak ankle by that time, that all explained why Giannis sprained in that play, I havent tried the freak 2 but i think the issue about it is because the overall support isnt account for when the player stopping hard with the heel portion slipping out hence the result of injuries I think kuzma sprained in kobe 4 and bradley sprained also in kobe 4 are pretty much the same issue with the freak 2- you can search for the clips, they all slipped out on the heel not because of bad traction but more because of the way they planted their foot unveiled the “flaw” of their footwear, but its more of a bad biomech imo, I mean, lebron tweaked his ankle n went off dunking n finished the playoff 🤷🏻♂️ and his shoes were hella high off Personally, i think it isnt nike fault here, i think Giannis probs wanted his freak 2 to be the way it is, Giannis has histories with ankle sprains and he has been getting lots of injuries because of his play style and how the league has figured out how to stop him from running down the paint last season. Freak 2 sucks. Bron mvp got robbed.
The problem is these are designed to look cool first, then function properly second. Reminds me when the KD5 was so plastic and stiff he broke his foot wearing them.
I’m obviously late on this video but I’m shocked you’re showing that Giannis clip where he rolled his ankle and actually say it’s cause the traction gave out. Like what are you even watching. That’s too much grip in that instance
when you said to go up half a size i might have to disagree. i’m a size 12 and i ended up having to go up a whole size to 13 to end up getting a comfy fit
The freak 2 were great for me but the Cons are, it hurts my right ankle at 1st used of it and I can't feel they zoom located at the forefoot. Maybe I need to break it in for a couple of days. Just be aware of the little nubs
Yo men i buy the freak 2 because there was an offer and I had the money for some kyrie 7 or pg 4 but I'm already wondering if it was a mistake to buy the freak 2
@jahrinmon I didn’t have access to an indoor gym but I’ve been playing on outside courts and I gotta say I haven’t had any slips or stability issues. BUT the traction is wearing down to almost nothing... I wish they didn’t go with the nubs and just used herringbone... maybe Nike will get it all right on the 3rd one?
Yes, I obviously saw that clip too. Glad you recovered! :) I’m not sure what it is about the FREAK 1, but the overall balance of the shoe might be unique... But even so, it was Giannis’s first signature shoe, and I love the design. No regrets in copping them.
I think the freak line hasn’t been disappointing, I have both of the shoes and they are probably some of the best shoes I’ve ever had, I guess there just meant for some different types of hoopers🤷🏽♂️
@@JAHRONMON and it also relys on the way you play to I guess, and some people are less fortunate to get the OMN1S, and and aj 34s, but don’t get me wrong, all of your videos has helped me to see what kind of fit and player i am, keep up the vids🙏
I saw another review earlier this year and the guy said that he felt insecure on this shoe as well. Also, when he was guarding someone, that lateral part where ends the forefoot part of the outsole, where looks like a razor, gave him some inconsistent grip, where he felt his foot almost rolling. Visually, it's "freaky" awesome, however, i was heard about how bad performer this shoe is.
You have to get these in a half size up or your pinkies will bleed.... I had these but they don’t have much cushion and the grip wasn’t good after 2 weeks of playing. The kd13 is ridiculous. I recommend getting the kd’s
If anything Giannis turned his ankle because it gripped too hard, stopped, while his foot was still moving or shifting his weight in the shoe. The uppers probably need to support or contain better, not the grip.
I used nike id on my pair and put the xdr on them so it should solve that though I'm cali based as well so I haven't been able to test them out. Hopefully that does solve the problem
I just received zoom freak 2s in the mail today and am super worried if I play in them and get injured because of the shoe!!! For anyone who has them or can try on a pair can you confirm for me, do you slide to the inside of your foot? I tried them on and it was like my foot slid inside from the whole footbed. So if lhs was on it would slide to the right slightly actually not slightly alot! Also, is nike purposefully cutting its laces they seem so short these days! ! I might just keep them and not play in them. Help Giannis!!!???!
It's just bad foot work, planting heel first causing it to bounce off the ground, transferring the force to the forefoot, causes the forefoot biting the floor, heel off the ground, forefoot biting the floor, foot will tip, ankle will tweek
yall playing without an ankle support? freak 2 is a Mid cut compare to freak 1. I just bought the white cement, I dont dribble much but I play 1on1 defense hard and always try to intercept
Just by looking at the pictures of the freak 2's they look like they will take the skin off my pinky toe i have the 1's and its more comfy same with the lebron witness 4 better than 5
His kicks only been good for rocking casually because they look dope and futuristic not good for balling I agree nike need to put in some Zoom Freak Airmax and make it a hightop because has too much power for regular zoom and lowtops sneakers🤷🏾♂️
I see it time and time again, if you’re a big man or someone over 200 lbs you need shoes with ankle support / hightops. These kids trying to look cool in these low tops are fools. To be honest I occasionally play in low tops “Hoka1”but I where ankle compression sleeve & a brace. I’ve had friends out for a whole year because of an ankle injury.
If you're staying away from the Freak 2s because you're scared of rolling your ankle, then you should stay even further away from the LeBron 18s. Or pretty much anything with Max cushion setups.
Wearing these shoes I was guarding against someone who played post and I tweaked my ankle exactly as in the thumbnail. Been 2 months and my foot hasn't fully recovered. Been thinking how I tweaked so bad in such a simple situation. Now I see this and finally got an idea...

In Yanis incident, it looks like over traction, because shoe stops but inertia was to high, thats why he injured his leg

Hello my friend.I am Giannis from Greece.Between zoom freak 1 and zoom freak 2 which do you think is better?
Traction didn’t give out in that clip. Not at all.
It most def did. Twice actually.
I think you’re not correct
In that clip, giannis planted with poor bio mechanic, so his forefoot took all the stopping force down the floor, and we can saw as the force moved down to the heel, the heel traction gave-out, as the heel lifted slightly and the impact force went up his leg, the forefoot traction experience something called “static friction”, That caused his ankle mobility n strength to break down n he sprained his ankle
Basically because the heel traction slipped out + the forefoot bite too hard + the poor biomechanic and he probs had weak ankle by that time, that all explained why Giannis sprained in that play,
I havent tried the freak 2 but i think the issue about it is because the overall support isnt account for when the player stopping hard with the heel portion slipping out hence the result of injuries
I think kuzma sprained in kobe 4 and bradley sprained also in kobe 4 are pretty much the same issue with the freak 2- you can search for the clips, they all slipped out on the heel not because of bad traction but more because of the way they planted their foot unveiled the “flaw” of their footwear, but its more of a bad biomech imo,
I mean, lebron tweaked his ankle n went off dunking n finished the playoff 🤷🏻♂️ and his shoes were hella high off
Personally, i think it isnt nike fault here, i think Giannis probs wanted his freak 2 to be the way it is, Giannis has histories with ankle sprains and he has been getting lots of injuries because of his play style and how the league has figured out how to stop him from running down the paint last season.
Freak 2 sucks.
Bron mvp got robbed.
My son wears these all the time, its actually his favorite line! Its the only line that has prevented him from rolling his ankle.
thank you for this video. Pls can you make a new video on the top 10 of the best outdoor basketball shoes based on the latest releases??!!
Aay thanks for the heads up. I was about to buy this shoe but your video made me change my mind and I instead bought some KD 14s.
That’s a better cop!
I dont know why but its weird like pg 4 is cheaper but greater i mean why is that??
Would you say the best "big man" sneaker today is the UA Embiid 1? I mean for its versatility
Not, it's mediocre really. The best big man shoe would be the Zoom Rize or LeBron 16.

Just by looking at the pictures of the freak 2's they look like they will take the skin off my pinky toe i have the 1's and its more comfy same with the lebron witness 4 better than 5
Can you do the lebron 18 performance review
Everytime i see the back section of this shoe, my ankle is hurting. I'll stay away from this shoe and stick with kd line
His kicks only been good for rocking casually because they look dope and futuristic not good for balling I agree nike need to put in some Zoom Freak Airmax and make it a hightop because has too much power for regular zoom and lowtops sneakers🤷🏾♂️
Looks great, 2 bad to hear it doesnt play the way ...
What colorways is that PG4?
him tweaking his ankle is not what led to them losing, but yeah
I have the freak 2’s and on the other shoe the bottom broke like the traction tore off
Does the kd 13 have a better traction?
That tweaked ankle did not lead to them losing!! They were already down 2-0 and losing in the third game.. these bogus narratives have got to stop!
still plan to get them, anyone know if they fit true to size or go half size up? Appreciate it
Wide foot go half size up.
Cool cool, appreciate it. Ended up w sz 14 since they dont make 13.5. Havent worn yet
I see it time and time again, if you’re a big man or someone over 200 lbs you need shoes with ankle support / hightops. These kids trying to look cool in these low tops are fools. To be honest I occasionally play in low tops “Hoka1”but I where ankle compression sleeve & a brace. I’ve had friends out for a whole year because of an ankle injury.
Should I have got the donovan Mitchell shoes instead of these?
@@antoineche7952 No those are low tops too. The New Balance Omnis and Adidas N3XT L3V3L have great ankle support.
this and the harden 5's look fire asf but too bad they dont perform
Maybe it just depends on the person how he plays..
Anyone have these? I wanna know how durable these are
Men if this shoes gonna injured whoever use it men I'll save my money on LeBron 18!!
Lebron 18 is easy to roll ur ankle as well
If you're staying away from the Freak 2s because you're scared of rolling your ankle, then you should stay even further away from the LeBron 18s.
Or pretty much anything with Max cushion setups.
If you want to roll your ankle even more then sure. If not go with something.like a Harden so your low or Zoom Rize so you have support.
Lebron soldiers 11 are dangerous when the velcro gets old, rolled my ankles at least 5 time in 3 weeks with them
Wearing these shoes I was guarding against someone who played post and I tweaked my ankle exactly as in the thumbnail. Been 2 months and my foot hasn't fully recovered. Been thinking how I tweaked so bad in such a simple situation. Now I see this and finally got an idea...
