Peformance Review: Nike Giannis Freak 7
The Giannis Freak 8 has already launched and with that I am sure that the 7s are going to be on sale. With that said, I was able snag a pair of Giannis Freak 7 at Toby's Sports months ago. And after some time to do the performance testing, here is my review of the Nike Freak 7. The upper is mainly textile with some fuse panels and there is also a foam wrapping the side. It is as though the midsole extends more as it makes its way to the upper. And while it has a function which is to help with stability especially during quick stops and curls, it adds a bit of weight. So having that textile upper somewhat lessens the weight and making it less bulky. The material is okay with a its design being a play on Giannis' logo. What I didn't like was the extra bulging of the material particularly on the toe area when you bend the shoe. So I suggest that you tighten your shoelaces from the throat all the way up to get a more contained fit inside the shoe. But overall, it gets the job...
