MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo showed up at a Drew League game in L.A. recently, and showed off a new shoe from his partnership with Nike.

Shortly thereafter, the Bucks described the shoe in some detail and the origin of the colorway, which both honors his roots and pokes fun at people saying his name wrong.
Meet the ‘Alphabet Soup’ Freak 1s.
Inspired by @Giannis_An34’s hard-to-say last name which gave him the early nickname ‘Alphabet Soup’.
The blue swoosh is a nod to Greece and where his game got started. pic.twitter.com/ffzT6iR4tT
