The Nike Zoom Freak 5 Is Departing From the Backwards Swoosh

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s signature sneaker line appears to be set for a significant departure.

An early, early image has leaked for the Nike Zoom Freak 5, and the immediate standout is the lack of backward Swoosh on the shoe’s lateral side. The flipped mark has been a signature to the Zoom Freak for all but the second iteration. In its place is an absolutely massive Swoosh facing forward and swooping up from the midsole all the way up over the eyelets.

The Zoom Freak 5 is overall much simpler than its predecessors, although more detailing could arrive with the launch model. Gone is the visible Zoom Air unit from the Zoom Freak 4, and the upper has just three distinct panels. Leather weaves from the toe box to the eyelets, around the collar, and to heel as one single unit. Below it is a smaller heel panel in what could be suede, while the rest of the upper utilizes a more form-fitting material.

Official details from Nike should arrive by late summer, so download the DROPS by SoleSavy app to keep up with any updates.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
