i think you were jus being very kind with this one… but iagree that too many people demand specific features while it is already functional enough, and being a popular shoe definitely says something. not like we buy them at full price anyways ya just enjoy the shoes
I love the Freak 6 colorway you have. 🤩 I also love the Freak 5 colorway blue and red you showed in the video. I wish those colorways were available here in our country, 🇵🇭
As always, great review, Tommy. However, I’m still not getting those Freak 6s 😂 I can definitely have a better Chinese brand shoe at the same amount or even less.
At the end of the day, the problem with the Freak 5 and 6 is that they don't make a whole lot of sense in the price vs performance category. Why get the Freak 5 over the Immortality 3, and why get the Freak 6 over the Immortality 4, or the Immortality 3/Freak 5 on deep sale? It hasn't really felt like a Giannis signature line since the Freak 4.
There’s no true or false to me - whichever you prefer. Factoring in their prices at full retail sure the Immortality 4 does return greater value. Freak 6 is lighter and has better cushion/comfort.
@@shiroeroe4792 2E widefoot here. Gone up half size on 361° shoes(DvD 2 SE, Big3 5.0 Quck Pro). Smoth like butter. Kai 1 not 2E widefoot friendly. Also if you're 3 and D which for sure you'll be jumping a lot, the lowness to the group may shake your knees sometimes.
They ugly cz they perform at best,copped a pair of freak 6s and ive been using em for around 2 weeks and traction is gorilla grip! Cushion is self explanatory,im a 5'9 145 lbs guard so i dont really feel the compression so much .
Freak 6 is a mediocre of a signature specially if it's being release in the modern day with all these innovations from nike. Meanwhile, we have a kobe 4 from a decades ago that contains carbon fiber plate as a shank support, flywire and leather upper for support and cushlon+zoom air on heel and small metbag unit on the forefoot.
Here it is. Yes you’re right, Kobe 4 is my all-time favorite shoe too 😁 Nothing wrong with the Freak 6 though, no shank plate not much reinforcement on the upper I never had any real issues with it.
Do not mix up popularity with good performance. As I see this is a common confusion amongst reviewers. A lot of people wore Kyries and PGs, because they were the cheapest signature shoes and sorry to say that, but the countries where basketball is the most common sport nowadays are poor af.
Don’t think I ever said popularity equates good performance. It just means lots of delicious sales for those who have different budgets or willingness to spend - also for players at different levels to be able to enjoy using a pair.
That's the respect nike gave to Giannis? He'll be better with way of wade or any chinese brands. The way he played Giannis should be the face of nike today.
Another solid review! I try to be positive about the Giannis line, but honestly feel the root of my issues with them (and Nike basketball in general lately,) is the lack of a shank or any torsional support plate. Bias aside, I think any basketball shoe over $140 should absolutely have torsional support. I get budget shoes now range more from $100-$120 ish, but Giannis signature shoe isn’t a budget line, that’s why he has the Freak series. And even the Immortality line has featured a shank plate a couple times, which is insane that his main line isn’t. Aside from that, I’ll agree with the line as a whole. I used to not love all the changing of his shoes, but Gianni’s evolution has been insane so it makes more sense to me now looking back at his line as a whole. And it keeps it from being too much of a copy paste setup (somewhat haha.)
i dont like the player and i dont like the shoes. and i think majority of fans agree since i never see anyone wearing either version and his merch is always in the clearance bins still not selling.
Thoughts on the Freak 6?? ⬇️
I don’t know about y’all but I have nothing to hate on with this shoe…
waiting for halloween colorway as well!

For sure. It all comes down to the price factor - it’d probably be hard to justify an “undiscounted” purchase.
I see A LOT OF immortalitys at my gym too!
True dat.
Thus far the best looking colourway of this model!
Your fadeaway game is elite 🔥

I love the Freak 6 colorway you have. 🤩 I also love the Freak 5 colorway blue and red you showed in the video. I wish those colorways were available here in our country, 🇵🇭

🔥 colorway!
I feel like these give off the exact same vibe as the freak 5: Good preformance but nothing special. Great vid!
thank you for the detailed review
Like this better then the New TATUM 3
ay good news
People are recommending immortality 4 over freak 6 becuz it barely changed in years. Is this true?
There’s no true or false to me - whichever you prefer. Factoring in their prices at full retail sure the Immortality 4 does return greater value. Freak 6 is lighter and has better cushion/comfort.
Hey Tommy!!, can you recommend me a SG SF bball shoes?
Hey! Sure New Balance Kawhi 4.
i need the best shoes for small forwards video plssssss
hey man, can u do reviews on the donte divincenzo 1? I heard they are top tier shoes though.
Hey yes perhaps
@@TommyLiu4 I'll be waiting, they are from anta and also aesthethic wise those shoes actually looks good.

I tried on em here in my local footlocker but wasn't feeling them at all. looks like just an average shoe.
Hey gt cut academy or freak 6?😊

Giannis has the worst looking shoes! Shoe culture in general is kinda meh these days. Chinese brand 361 has been on fire lately tho
LOL when the Freak 5 first came out last year I thought that was by far the ugliest… True, lots of 361 seedings recently.
The immortality line is complete garbage aesthetically. Overall i’m sick of the oversized swoosh and backwards swoosh.
Now yes ugliest, but the 1s, 3s,4s were pretty cool.
@@Monstaray0210I actually think the 4s are decent for a budget shoe
Performance and looks

Is this good for all position?
@@bicolsfinest8727 Yes I think so 😃
i need glasses cause these look just like the 5s.
man i guess its all about the swoosh. before theres a lot of Kyries on my gym but now i havent seen anyone wear it
True.

*Immortality series
i'm sure it is a good shoe.
@@HALO23993 Yes it is.
Hope ppl keep on sleeping on those so i can grab on clearance!!!
Only good shoe was the zoom freak 1
Nike sucks ass for quite a while now, with the exception of Lebrons. Lining, Anta and 361 destroys them without effort
i dont like the player and i dont like the shoes. and i think majority of fans agree since i never see anyone wearing either version and his merch is always in the clearance bins still not selling.
Oh true yes those merch don’t ever sell 😂
I only trust this shoe reviewer everyone else is kind of lame or just advertisement for the brand
