Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is a force to be reckoned with on the court. The only thing scarier than the 27-year-old's game is his ceiling. Antetokounmpo averaged 29.9 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game last season. 

Not only did Antetokounmpo dominate, but he looked good doing it. Throughout the season, the perennial MVP candidate mixed in old and new models from his Nike Zoom Freak signature line. Below are the top hoop shoes worn by Antetokounmpo during the 2021-22 season.
