Giannis Antetokounmpo is known as the Greek Freak because of his dominance on the court. But off the hardwood floor, Giannis is a hilarious human being. Known for his goofy antics on social media, the 2021 NBA Champion recently leaked some classified information on Instagram. Sharing a video of a practice session, Giannis jumped Nike a $174 billion brand, and revealed his new sneakers. All while commenting on how great they are as he awkwardly sniffed them.

Instagram has long been Giannis’ favored social media platform. And, when he does post, the content is always one of two things. Either it’s him working hard in training or a video of him that leaves his fans in stitches. Well, it just so happens that his most recent post encompassed both, but at Nike’s expense.
Giannis Antetokounmpo releases hilarious video leaking his latest Nike sneakers
Sneakerheads usually wait months in anticipation of sneaker drops. This is especially true when these shoes belong to some of the best players in the world. So, more often than not companies like to keep things under lock and key, and hopefully capitalize on the hype surrounding them.
However, there are times when things don’t go as planned. Like when details of a shoe get leaked or, in some cases, when the player himself gives fans a sneak peek. This is exactly what happened with Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Greek Freak recently shared a video on Instagram that got a lot of chuckles. After just finishing up a training session, Giannis was seen sniffing his shoes on the bench. As he explained to his 15.2 million followers, you can tell if a shoe is good based on its smell. It was only mid-sniff that he realized he had his new Immortality 3s in hand.
“This is my favorite shoe. It even smells good. You know how a shoe becomes your favorite shoe? Obviously I don’t know if we can showcase this right now but…we don’t care! Instead of other people leaking our shoe…you know how a shoe is good? When you smell that s*it…when you sniff it and it smells the right way. That’s how you know! Immortality 3. It’s coming. On the way!”
The execs at Nike probably aren’t going to be happy about it, but what can they do? After all, this is one of their bonafide superstars leaking a shoe that he loves to smell and just so happens to be very affordable.
Giannis’ Nike Immortality 3s are selling for just $85
Well, the secret is out, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s new shoes, the Nike Immortality 3s not only smell good but they look good as well. What’s more, the shoe is also extremely affordable. Retailing at just $85, the Immortality 3s are one of Nike’s most affordable shoes and it’s all thanks to the Greek Freak.
Giannis didn’t exactly have it easy growing up. He was poor and had to work hard to get to where he is today. So, he decided to make a shoe that everyone who follows and supports him could buy.
He truly is a man of the people. And while he does do some hilarious things that could get him in trouble with Nike, his fans will be forever grateful for it.
