Classic Griffey Design Meets Modern Updates

Originally inspired by MLB player Ken Griffey Jr. (aka “The Kid”), this high-top sneaker has been on the baseball diamond but looks just as good on the streets. The new Nike Air Griffey Max 1 "Freshwater" release puts a refreshing spin on the familiar Griffey shoes silhouette. 

You get the sleek, eye-catching baseball style, but these Nike Air Griffey Max 1 kicks also feature visible Max Air cushioning and modern details that bring them into the 2020s. The fluid lines and commanding shape offer a timeless look, revamped with stunning colors. 

“Freshwater” Colorway & Release Details

The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 shoes are back and better than ever with the new “Freshwater” edition, also known as “Black Freshwater.” This Air Griffey Max 1 colorway is a show-stopper, with a black outsole, black tongue, teal upper and crisp white accents. 

The clean design and forest-y colors are perfect for the season, capturing an organic winter spirit. The luxe black, rich teal and bright white accentuate the already stylish silhouette, making it feel even more decadent. 

The blue-green touches also pay homage to Griffey’s MLB team, the Seattle Mariners, mimicking the Mariners’ uniforms, as well as the greenery around the Emerald City. Collectors won't want to miss out on this special colorway, which feels like Griffey’s whole story wrapped up in a shoe.

Nothing will look as fly as matching these classy kicks with your favorite puffer jacket or chic winter coat, or rock them with distressed denim or stretchy leggings. Either way, the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 sneakers bring a seasonal and poised aura to all your winter fits.

The Griffey Max 1 is available in all men’s and grade school sizes, so fans of all ages can slip them on. The comfortable fit means they’re perfect for school, streetwear, Sunday mornings and beyond.

Originally released in 1996 and not seen since 2021, this is a thrilling drop for collectors, MLB fanatics and sneakerheads. The 30th anniversary release of Griffey’s signature sneaker will be a special, can’t-miss shoe, so mark December 12 on your calendar.
