Long before Giannis Antetokounmpo was a back-to-back two-time NBA MVP with a super-max deal, he was just another rookie getting by on a decent contract. In fact, there’s a legendary story from the Greek Freak’s first season that speaks to his general naivete and child-like approach to life – and it all comes full circle on the nike Navy nike Navy react element 87 thunder blue total orange aq1090 004 release date.
As with previous propositions from the Milwaukee Buck, the forthcoming pair heavily indulges in a muted, greyscale palette. Medial sides, however, introduce stark yellow and red contrast, the former taking over the midfoot overlay. Branding on the tongue and lateral heel indulge in a mix of both eye-catching tones, but it’s placement on the latter sits right underneath a checkerboard reminiscent of old taxi cab detailing. Underfoot, designed-for-Antetokounmpo’s-eurostep-outsoles further indulge in the golden hue. While seemingly random, the styling draws inspiration from an incident the 26-year-old has during his rookie year (2013). Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix once shared a story about Antetokounmpo taking a cab to a Western Union to send money back to Greece, his home country. Without realizing it, Antetokounmpo sent forwarded so much money to his loved ones that he didn’t have enough for a return taxi. The 6′ 11″ athlete, then, began running back to where he was staying, as he had a game to get to.
