Nike Zoom Freak 3 “Science Kit” Remembers Childhood Toys

Not many players in NBA history have put together a resume as stacked as Giannis Antetokounmpo. At just 26 years of age, the Greek Freak has amassed two NBA MVP trophies, an NBA DPOY, an All-Star Game MVP to go along with his 5x All-Star appearances, 3 All-NBA, and 3 All-Defensive First Team selections — and now, his first NBA Championship and Finals MVP. He’s done that all in just eight seasons. A few years into that campaign, Nike rewarded the young Buck with his very own signature sneaker, which we’re tipping will only grow in significance now that the Freak has cemented his legacy with a first Finals win. And whilst there will undoubtedly be many upcoming colorways that celebrate that pinnacle moment in his life, quite often his lineage looks to his humble beginnings for inspiration. This one appears to head back to his (and our) childhood, with this Nike Zoom Freak 3 “Science Kit” remembering experimental toys.

Though not as overt as the surrounding pops of vibrant primary colors, the pair’s most obvious call-outs to the kits come by way of an atom-inspired logo at the right tongue and a basketball-tipped Pasteur dropper on the left. The aforementioned color pops of yellow, royal, red, and green reference the kiddy kit’s often vibrant tools, of which are enhanced all the more thanks to its unassuming two-tone beige mesh base and sail midsole.

Enjoy the official images of the Nike Zoom Freak 3 “Science Kit” ahead, and anticipate a Nike.comrelease during the Summer/Fall seasons.
