The Zoom Freak 5 is a very well built athletic shoe with a lot to offer. It has a multi fabric design that offers breathability and support. The shoes are very colorful. They do a good job of reflecting the Bucks team colors. Nike does a good job of incorporating personal touches into the the design. There are family names in small print around the sole of the shoe. The player signature embroidered under the tongue adds a nice bonus as well. The large gold swoosh on the side catches your eye and is almost a throwback design to early Nike shoes.The first time I put the shoes on they did feel stiff.

The footbed was very comfortable but I found the fit to be too narrow for my foot. I would say the length was close to accurate and the width was small for a 8.5. When wearing them I felt like they were a sturdy shoe that would hold up well.Overall I would rate the shoe as a 6 on comfort for me because it was narrow. If you have wider feet you may want to opt for a wide size if available. I would give it a 8 for design, it catches your eye and has a great, bold look.

I love the fit and feel of the Nike Zoom Freak 5 shoes! They are comfortable to run in and play basketball in. They are wearing well and are holding up over time as most shoes of this brand tend to do. They feel springy and bouncy while wearing and were easy to break in. Additionally the fit was perfect for my regular size and they don’t seem to run too big or too small. The only thing I do not like is the design and the choice of colors. I think the fabric of the gold on the side for the Nike logo is gaudy and should be more sleek instead of puffy and a different color. I like the green of the shoes but the red contrast along with the busy floral shoe sole is not to my particular taste.

They’re nice and comfortable, I was able to wear them all day on the first day without any trouble. Sizing was exactly as expected. I also appreciate that they were great workout or casual shoes. We’re taking the kids to a few amusement parks where we’ll be doing a ton of walking and I plan on wearing them since they’ll still look nice. The material also seem pretty durable, it doesn’t seem like they will get scuffed up really easily.There are a ton of unique features to them, like the asymmetrical laces and two-tone swoosh. I will say, in person, they’re probably a bit more “modern/edgy“ than I would normally go for, but maybe they’re keeping this dad looking a bit young!

The Nike Zoom Freak 5 is a very lightweight shoe yet still has a lot of cushion packed in. Thats my favorite thing about this shoe , its so lightweight. I don't like to have a shoe that weighs me down. Instead , with these lightweight shoes I feel more energetic. The shoes are a bit tight all over but I do feel like I'm breaking them in fairly quick and that the tightness does not effect the overall comfort of the shoe. The cushion and design of the shoe makes for a good comfortable shoe that makes my feet happy. The Zoom Freak 5 shoe has some real cool designs on both the fabric on the sides and as well as on the bottom of the shoe too. These have lots of color yet are not bright or have too much color. I love the gold used for the swoosh sign. I also really like ... MoreThe Nike Zoom Freak 5 is a very lightweight shoe yet still has a lot of cushion packed in.

In general this would not be a shoe I would buy though, as I am not initially attracted to the color mix. They are green and red with the gold. But I do have to say that after wearing them they are growing on me and im not so unattracted to them anymore.
Recently I was gifted a pair of Nike Zoom Freaks 5 " Keep it A Buck " in return for my honest review as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. When I received the Nike Freak 5's the first thing I noticed was the box the sneakers came in. Most sneakers come in the traditional Nike Orange box with a white swoosh. But not this box, this box was all tan with a deeper tan design ( which I thought looked like flowers. ) In the center of the box was Antetokounmpo's signature logo in two different colors of purple. There was also a Nike Swoosh one the bottom side of the box below the opening top which was also in the same 2 purples as the logo. You will also find Antetokounmpo's hand written signature on the back side of the box which I thought most Buck fans will ... MoreRecently I was gifted a pair of Nike Zoom Freaks 5 " Keep it A Buck " in return for my honest review as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

You will also find Antetokounmpo's hand written signature on the back side of the box which I thought most Buck fans will really appreciate. After noticing all the details on the box I opened the box and instantly I was in love! Being from NY I'm obviously a Knicks fan but I put that all aside once I saw these sneakers. The Freak 5s " Keep it A buck " come in the colors of the Milwaukee Bucks from the mid 2000's with Gold detailing. The colors are forest Green, Red, Purple and Gold with crisp white shoelaces. I absolutely loved the bold colors! I personally liked the way the outer side of the shoe had a big gold swoosh! I also was a fan of the red swoosh that was perfectly placed on the bottom inner part of the sneaker. My favorite part of the sneaker was the tongue which also contained Antetokounmpo's signature logo ( a white A ) My name begins with an A so I thought it was really cool. Once you take a very close look at the sneaker you will be able to notice many different but beautiful details. You can really tell how much effort Nike put into designing the perfect sneaker that would perfectly represent Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. I must say that the Sneaker design is very Awesome but that's only one of many things that make this sneaker a must have. Some other things that make this sneaker great is the way that it fits very true to size. After wearing them I was in awe of how lightweight and comfortable that were. I wore these to the gym to workout, to play basketball with friends and all day to run around doing errands. I feel like these are all around good sneakers that everyone can wear whether to play basketball or to go to the club. They are really " All purpose " sneakers. After I wore them numerous times I never noticed any wear or tear nor any creasing. The couple of things I did not like about them was the design on the bottom of the sneaker. I did not think the colors or design went well together and I was actually kind of confused. The one other thing I disliked about the sneaker was the was the red fabric seemed to be too loose causing a slight bulging of the fabric. If only the fabric was a lot tighter and stayed that way then I would only have the one dislike. While wearing the Freak 5's I was stopped numerous times with many people complimenting them. I have a lot of friends who really liked them and wanted them. I loved them from first sight and my love has only grown stronger. For the low prize of around $140.00 USD I would definitely recommend these sneakers to family and friends. I give the Nike Zoom Freaks " Keep it apart Buck " 5 stars!! I would give it more if I could!! These are definitely a must have!! They have become my favorite and first choice!!
I've just received my package in the post a day after ordering them. Very impressive! I've had these on my feet for about 20 minutes now and I can say I'm very impressed so far, the comfort is perfect, the size seems pretty true, although they are a narrow shoe, so if you have a wide foot maybe look elsewhere. I almost bought a pair of Zoom freak 4's last week but am glad I held off for this update. The Spring from the forefoot is great, the heal is firmish which suits me. Overall the materials feel good, the outer is plush, nice and soft, It isn't a stiff shoe so there is some twist so if support is what you're after, this probably won't suit you. Colour looks amazing, I can't wait to play in them tomorrow night!
I was really excited when I got these shoes because they have so many unique markings that make them feel custom!I tired them on but they were super tight. Normally this size works for me so I had a family member try it on that wears a half size smaller than I and even that was tight for them. I was so bummed cause quality is great and such a unique look.Pros:Love the signatureEmbroidery makes it feel high endColors are fun and uniqueLots of support inside the shoeCons:Runs really small (at least a whole show size)Narrow shoeFabric and bottom of shoe is stifferOverall liked the shoe but wish they weren’t so tight overall.
The zoom freak 5 are an excellent pair of basketball shoes. I absolutely love how comfortable they are for my husband at the heel especially when jumping. Easy slip on and off and very sleek and stylish. He loves the realistic leather feel of the front of the shoe. The breathability is good and they are fairly light according to him. They are true to his size as he wears size 9 and perfectly match the contour of his foot. The shoe laces are easy to tie and hold well. He loves the color combination and he gets many compliments on the field.
Ran a bit narrow for me than usual nike shoes. When I paired it with thinner socks, the shoes hugged perfectly. The design is so much fun. I got the Black/Fuchsia Dream/Baltic Blue/Phantom design and it matches a lot of my neon funky clothes that I wear. The materials and fabric felt like a blend of space age cushioning with traditional softness of synthetic leather shoes. It's comfortable in casual and active sessions - I played hours of pickleball and basketball in this without a problem such as developing callouses on my toes. My only gripe is to make it a touch less narrow so I can be comfortable in more types of socks. Highly recommended!
There are several components to a great basketball shoe. Fit, performance, appearance, and durability. These shoes take all the right boxes, but maybe not for everybody.First, let’s talk about fit. The shoes fit true to size, and are very comfortable, but are also pretty narrow in the toebox area. They are not narrow throughout the shoe, but they are narrow in the toebox area. They are a low top shoes and easy to wear with or without ankle braces. I found the best fit for these shoes on my feet was with a thin sock. I do however, have wide flat feet in the toe area. These shoes were never painful, but I knew I was wearing them because of the tightness in the toe box. For people who do not have wide feet I think these will be fantastic.Appearance is quite ... MoreThere are several components to a great basketball shoe. Fit, performance, appearance, and durability.

For people who do not have wide feet I think these will be fantastic.Appearance is quite subjective, but style is important. I really liked the style of these shoes, the colors stand out without being crazy, and smother shoe some is particularly fantastic.I liked the way these shoes performed on the court. They great for cutting and slashing. I never felt that these were unstable, or that I was going to roll and ankle in them. I liked the fact that they were low top because it allowed them to be more comfortable in the ankle area while wearing braces, I also wore them without braces for casual training and shooting. Again they felt stable, light, weight, and easy to move in. The traction was also very good.I cannot speak to the long term durability of the shoe, but I have not seen any unusual wear patterns that would cause concern. The materials seem to be high quality and I don’t expect any durability issues, I may update the review in the future with additional long term durability information.
