Of course, whenever an NBA player records a career night, their shoes also happen to make headlines. That colorway gets cemented as a legendary one and if the night was record-breaking, well, you know the gist. For Giannis Antetokounmpo, however, the shoes he wore on his 55-point career night might become even more legendary.

The reason is not that the colorway was standout or that it was a players-exclusive shoe. No. The reason is that it wasn’t even the latest pair from the brand.
Yes, Giannis notched up the “double nickel”, aka 55 points, wearing shoes from the last year!
Giannis Antetokounmpo wore his $120 Zoom Freak 3s for the historic night
Now, we don’t know what prompted him but Giannis Antetokounmpo decided to wear his $120 Nike Zoom Freak 3s, in the game against the Wizards.
Little did he know, he would notch up his career high that night and that the shoes will be remembered forever.
The Zoom Freak 3s are no longer on sale via Nike and you can cop them via resellers, given that Giannis pulled off this stunt, it is likely the prices of those pairs will skyrocket.
