Giannis Antetokounmpo's Sneakers Show Love to Oregon Ducks
The Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Indiana Pacers 126-124 on Thursday night. There are plenty of reasons why the Bucks came up short, but the performance of Giannis Antetokounmpo is not one of them. The "Greek Freak" tallied 54 points and 12 rebounds.
Not only did Antetokounmpo light up the scoreboard, but he also lit up social media with the sneakers he debuted in the road game. Antetokounmpo continues to wear his fifth signature Nike basketball shoe, except this time in an ultra-rare player-exclusive colorway meant for hoopers from Eugene, Oregon.

Antetokounmpo wore the Nike Freak 5 in the 'Oregon Ducks' colorway. The shoes feature a green upper, laces, and tongues. Meanwhile, the yellow outsoles, Swoosh logos, and branding provide the perfect contrast for the iconic color palette.
These kicks will never be released to the public, but online shoppers can choose between eight colorways of Antetokounmpo's signature sneakers on the Nike website. Best of all, Nike allows fans to customize their own colorway online.
Antetokounmpo never played in college, instead forging his own path to the NBA. It is fun for fans to guess where the perennial All-Star would have gone to school. However, some things will always remain a mystery. Follow FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news from the sports world.
