Nike Giannis Freak 7 Review
Pros:
Soft, comfortable Cushlon midsole
Reliable traction performance
Cons:
Lack of court feel
Non-breathable materials
Performance of the Nike Giannis Freak 7:
The Nike Giannis Freak 7 comes in at a lower price point yet still offers similar value to the previous iterations.
Traction is the shoe's standout feature. It performs exceptionally well on clean courts and holds its own on dusty courts.
Nike switches things up by using a full Cushlon 3.0 midsole for the cushioning. It feels soft and comfortable, but there's a lack of court feel and springiness.
The materials feel standard. The quality is average, but the upper is more durable than last year's. The main issue is the lack of breathability.
The improved durability of the materials also helps the support and lockdown. Reviewers reported feeling secure and contained on the footbed during play.
Nike reduces the price of the Giannis Freak 7, but the performance feels similar, thanks to the traction and support.

There is no Zoom in the midsole. The Cushlon foam feels soft and bouncy, and I like the placement of the shank. This setup is fairly basic but effective.
