Nike Air Griffey Max Retro Releasing
Posted by vulkan | Sep 26, 2008 When Ken Griffey Jr. was in his prime he was an awesome fielder, had a canon arm, was a smooth base runner, and a swing so perfect it earned him his nickname “Swingman.” Back when he first signed his Nike contract “Junior” got his own signature shoes and they were some of the best looking pieces of sole to be made for the Mariner bomber. Finally, after years of waiting, and major career accomplishments achieved, the Griffeys are coming back.
The first catalog images of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 made it to the web showcasing the original Seattle Mariner’s colorway. Griffey has been wearing player exclusive versions of the Air Griffey Max this season which lifted many eye brows in the sneaker circle. Want to see the shoes? Check them after the break. Credit to KingWonder at NT for the “cat scans.” Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Nike Air Griffey Max 1 |

Honestly I still have the originals in my basement lol. Like two years ago Dillards was selling these for 10 bucks. My best friend bought like 8 pair and tossed me one. Im glad Nike are bringing back the classics from the 90’s cause I dont know what the hell they are making now.

Nike has been on their grind lately……Jordan brand is slumping horribly
Sep 27, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Oh MY!!!! I gotta cop these. These take me back to a wonderful year of summer ‘96 when I got these when I was kid. Funny thing is that I got these for a family reunion that was held in my hometown, and now the reunion is returning to my hometown after 14 yrs and I will have the shoes to go along!

I don’t know which one of us rewrote this but Junior’s nickname was never swingman, that’s just what the logo on the shoes is called.
Sep 26, 2008 at 11:30 pm
About time
Sep 26, 2008 at 11:15 pm
I have almost every pair of Griffeys except these. Thank you nike for retroing these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sep 26, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Man these take me back. Griffey, A-Rod and the Big Unit. What a squad. I remember I had a GriffeyxNike book cover with the “Presidential” campaign. “Walk softly, but carry a 32oz bat.” Good times.
Sep 26, 2008 at 9:20 pm
