Nike's Zoom Freak 4 Gets an Etched in Stone Colorway
Nike introduces another tonal update of the classic Zoom Freak 4 sneaker model with the help of Giannis Antetokounmpo to launch the Etched in Stone colorway. The collaborative shoe celebrates the athlete and this marks the first Freak 4 colorway to kick off the new year.
It has a monochromatic color palette of grey with wolf grey, cool grey, black, and white. The silhouette is made from a blend of materials including mesh and leather with the Swoosh branding emblem as the main highlight. This is due to the inspirational quote that is seen at a closer look -- it reads “The one who believed would become unbelievable.” It is rounded out by a speckled midsole and marbled rubber outsole.
