Nike continues to celebrate The Kid as the Swoosh has more heat stepping up to the plate for Ken Griffey Jr. The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 “Freshwater” returned earlier in 2021 for its 25th anniversary. Now, a non-OG Air Griffey Max 1 and much more are on the way.
A handful of Ken Griffey Jr.-inspired pairs are rumored to release at some point in 2021 as the Nike Air Force 1, the Nike VaporMax Plus, the Nike Air Max 90, and the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 will be the silhouettes telling the story of The Kid.
His signature backward cap, an ode to his playing days with his father in that classic blue and gold, his forever memorable wall-clashing catches, and his smooth swing are individually woven throughout the four pairs. Other details range from the signature “24” pull-tab, hints of emerald, baseball stitches, and a key chain home plate dipped in gold.
Will we see more Ken Griffey Jr. kicks throughout the rest of the year? Fingers crossed.
Official release information is yet to be announced, so be sure to head over to SoleSavy as we await release details on this collection and more from Nike.
