When you play like Giannis, you're going to stand out. The Freak 5 won't make you play like Giannis, but it'll certainly help. Flexibility in the forefoot (where you jump from and what you pivot on) and advanced traction allow you to cut, carve and cross up your friends whether you're in the game or on the playground.

• The difference between this Freak 5 and the adult version? The flex grooves underfoot give you extra flexibility so you can take your cuts, footwork and (most importantly) skills to the next level.
• The moulded foam under your foot provides super cushioning, so you stay fresh after grabbing a rebound or taking a shot.
• Stop when you want in the direction you need to. The advanced traction grooves help you make quick cuts and changes in direction, so you leave defenders wondering where you went.
• When you're as big as Giannis, you need a freak of a shoe to match. We took special care to create a fit that holds your foot in place, limiting movement, so you and your game feel supported without feeling constricted.
• Tighten up the fit using the hook-and-loop strap.
• Pull them on with ease using the oversized loop on the heel.
