Giannis Antetokounmpo and his Nike deal

Like most top-notch superstars, Nike has Giannis under a multi-million dollar deal. Even before he burst into stardom, Nike placed their trust in the Greek Freak, signing him for a $20,000 per year deal.

After the success of the first shoe, Nike also released the Nike Air Zoom Freak 2 recently in July 2020.
