About this deal

Provided that the Giannis Immortality 2 has an ample amount of cushioning for a standard basketball shoe, we thought that the problem with impact protection must be coming from the nature of its foam. Also, there is a good amount of airflow and breathability, so ventilation won’t be much of a dilemma. In addition, its forefoot has a minimal amount of fuse materials for reinforcement and protection. On top of that, the outsole’s best attribute is the pattern. It is infused with a full-length herringbone traction pattern. Again, the herringbone is a tremendous on-court performer and is arguably the best traction pattern, as it is famous for its aggressive grip and omnidirectional bite, so pairs rarely go wrong with this traction pattern.

So is it a fact or a myth? Is Giannis Immortality really better than Freak 3 in both major categories? However, the comparison did not age well for the Freak 3. It is because when the Giannis Immortality was released in July, many ballers even pondered that the budget pair is also better than the main signature shoe performance-wise. We recommend this shoe if responsiveness and ground connection are what you prefer. But if you are looking for a shoe with great impact protection, this shoe is just not it.Using a durometer, we found that this Nike shoe is far from being the brand's softest hoop shoe. It turns out to be 13% firmer than the average of basketball shoes we've tested.

Phylon. Period. I wish there was more to say about the cushion technology on this, but there simply isn’t. Instead they use the cushion for some cool Giannis details. “Lagos,” his parents’ hometown, is on the right heel and “Athens,” his hometown, is on the left heel. When I saw this, that’s when I thought that they made this shoe for nostalgic purposes, and not really performance per se. In addition, there are two breaks as seen on the outsole. One break is for flexibility that reinforces the traction when running or shifting, while the other is for additional responsiveness wherein the foam will move inwards between the rubbers, resulting in more compression. We measured the widest part of the forefoot to be 5 mm wider than average, while in the heel it is a shopping 7.6 mm wider! For stability, there is not much slide in the footbed except for lateral movements. Since there is no lateral counter and the upper material is very thin, not to mention that the pair’s forefoot is steep, users could experience a bit of instability during lateral movements. Therefore, there is no room for debate that the aggressive traction of the Giannis Immortality is its best attribute. CUSHION AND SUPPORTAt only 10.4 ounces or 295 grams, this shoe is well below the 12.4 oz (352 grams) average that we have on record. For sure, this shoe feels pretty minimal on foot. As an added bonus, Mrs. Wing and Chris discuss when takedowns become better than the flagship model. They also mention SoleSavy’s survey and the possible prizes for taking the survey.
