The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 was first release in 1996 while Ken Griffey Jr. was at the top of the baseball world. He was also one of the most iconic athletes of the 1990’s with his newfound style in the typically traditional game of baseball, so an entire generation of young ball players influenced their look off “The Kid” himself.

The Griffey Max 1 will return in its original “Emerald” or “Freshwater” colorway, which was made to match the Seattle Mariners whom Griffey played for from 1989-1999. This particular colorway will return for the first time since 2021.
