After a retro in 2016, the Nike Air Griffey Max 1’s OG “Freshwater” colorway returns next year to celebrate the model’s 25th anniversary.
Made famous by “The Kid” Ken Griffey Jr. in 1996, the Air Griffey Max 1 was an everyday cross trainer-style version of the cleats he wore on the diamond. The shoe has a wavy black nubuck upper with a white leather base, boot construction and a secure Nike logo strap that wraps around the ankle. Tying this pair back to Griffey’s Seattle Mariners threads, the shoe’s signature “Freshwater” aqua hits are accented with red.
Recently, the OG “Emerald” colorway of the Air Griffey Max 1 inspired a new Nike SB Dunk Mid.
As of now, no exact date has surfaced for this pair, but the arrival of official Nike product images suggests it could drop sooner rather than later. Expect the “Freshwater” Nike Air Griffey Max 1 to be released sometime in early 2021.
UPDATE (01/09): Official images of the “FreshWater” Nike Air Griffey Max 1 retro have surfaced, and according to the DTLR release date, the pair is scheduled to return on February 15th for $ 170.
