Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis
Antetokounmpo unveiled the design for his latest signature shoe, the
Nike Zoom Freak 4, ahead of the 2022-23 NBA season.
Antetokounmpo re-signed with Nike on a
long-term contract extension in November 2017 after hearing pitches
from other companies, including Adidas, Under Armour and Li-Ning.
In 2019, Kurt Badenhausen of Forbes
noted the Greek Freak was earning $10 million annually from the sneaker deal.
Giannis also teamed with Nike and the
card game UNO for a special collection in October.
“I want every product to be genuine
and authentic, and playing UNO with my brothers is a big part of our
lives,” the 27-year-old forward said. “The Nike team has done a great job bringing my
ideas to life, and I think they’ve created something for every Nike,
UNO and basketball fan in this collection.”
Between his off-court earnings and his
salary from the five-year, $228.2 million contract with the Bucks,
Antetokounmpo ranked 10th on Forbes‘ list of the highest-paid
athletes in the world for 2022 with a total projected income of $80.9
million.
The 2013 first-round pick has developed
into one of the best players of the generation while building a
resume that includes a championship with the Bucks in 2021,
two NBA MVP Awards and six consecutive All-Star selections.
Antetokounmpo will look to continue
building that list of accolades next season, the second year of
his contract with Milwaukee that potentially runs through 2025-26.
