Giannis Antetokounmpo is crushing it this season. The perennial NBA All-Star averages nearly 32 points per game, over 12 rebounds, and 62% shooting from the field. His signature sneaker with Nike, the Nike Giannis Freak 6, is part of his success, which has emerged for the first time in a collaborative colorway.
Teaming up with online candy store Candy Funhouse, Giannis’ sixth signature sneaker gets a vibrant makeover featuring yellow, university blue, and pink hits. Pink gummy-inspired lace dubraes featuring Candy Funhouse’s logo are placed on the bottom of the lacing setup, while the brand’s logo also makes its mark atop the tongue in the same shade. Further hits of pink extend onto the large Swoosh on the midfoot, contrasting the vibrant yellow engineered mesh base.
Along the eyelets, tongue, sockliner, and insole, the Giannis 6 gets covered in university blue, with the latter playing host to another instance of Candy Funhouse branding. Down below, the yellow and blue midsole, featuring a small hit of pink that extends from the Swoosh logo, comes with a forefoot Air Zoom unit for responsive cushioning on the court. Finishing the sneaker is the marbled pink and blue rubber outsole.
The Candy Funhouse x Nike Giannis Freak 6 was released on February 7, 2025, and is available now through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. In men’s and GS sizing, the retail price is $150 and $115, respectively.
