Bought the Roses with the ALLYOU coupon off Nike. Came out as $85 total.

 

[noblekane]

copped the grey pair for 68 shipped. need that 12.5 but had to settle for a 12

 

[Kobekobe]

i bought the grey colorway at footlocker on the 14th. would i be able to exchange them for the mint/cyan all bros? i don't usually deal with footlocker (in canada)

As long as its unworn, yup.

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Got my Roses pair with the Nike coupon. They’re snug, but these are gonna break-in well this weekend.

 

[noblekane]

yeah 68 shipped was a good price for these

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

I like the softness of the tongue on these.

 

[9th Wonder]

are the soul glos on sale anywhere?

 

[Sharpshoeter13]

Had a great run with these. Broke-in well, and I noticed how it’s not as low as the Protro Vs. Didn’t feel the zoom bag as much as I wanted to but it’s okay.

it’s decent and I’m glad I got these on discount. Definitely not worth the original price.

They remind me of the Hyperchases I had back then.

Not as low at the Kobe v? Where? Freaks are super thin in the forefoot versus Kobe zoom turbo

probably just me. I didn’t experience that same court-feel in the forefoot I felt when I worr my Kobes compared to the Freaks. Maybe because of the overall cushioning setup? Idk. I’m no shoe expert. I felt “higher?” on the Freaks

My Freaks are definitely in my rotation from now on.

 

[therefill]

I don't know the specifics of the tooling, but Freaks definitely "feels" higher than the Kobes on court.

Received it recently off a Nike coupon, and the court I played at was clean all over. I’m expecting these to dirty up when I get more runs in ‘em.

It’s a great shoe overall. I hope the next iteration of the Freaks get more than just one zoom unit. But with how Giannis plays, Nike will definitely keep it more sturdy and firm for him

 

[noblekane]

next shoe should have heel air and forefoot zoom

would keep the price down a bit with a basic set up

The Freak 1s have two zoom bags. Two bags double stacked at the heel. If you mean more than one zoom unit then just at the heel?

Oh I didn’t know the Freaks have double-stacked zoom units. I meant two separate zoom units; one in the heel and one in the forefoot. But like I said, Giannis might prefer a firmer/sturdier setup.

Again, that’s just my opinion about the shoes, and overall, I like ‘em but not as much as the Protro Vs.

Giannis was like "just give me the Kobes, fam"

Those were the ad exodus right. Kind of regret selling my 12.5. They were nice and minimal but the heel was better than the freaks.

 

[tigo0240]

Yeah, the AD "exodus."

I still have a pair but they don't feel right, the shoe digs into my arches.

Greys & Iridescent are both $70 on FNL

Couldn't say no to the blue Greek Freaks for $80 shipped from Champs just now, so I had to cop to rep my Greek household These'll be the first Low's I ever ball in.

Do these stretch out at all? Went tts and they’re super tight.
