2010 saw The Kid’s exit from the game of baseball, but 2011 will see him return… to footwear. Unfortunately Ken Griffey Jr. won’t be seen circling the diamond any time soon, but his signature kicks will be returning all year long, including the Air Griffey Max II “Fresh Water.” This OG throwback sports the beloved teal-like hue best known for its appearances on the Air Griffey Max 1 on its carbon heel cup, toe Swoosh and other key areas, which replaces Emerald. Griffey wore the cleated version of this sneaker en route to hitting 56 homers and claiming the AL MVP award in 1997. More colorways of this sneaker and The Kid’s other greats are on their way to stores soon. Which will you be chasing?
