Nike has sure shown some love to The Kid in 2021, with a handful of special Ken Griffey-themed kicks like the “Spider-Ma Catch” VaporMax Plus to the Jr/Sr Air Force 1 that honors his part in the MLB’s first father/son duo. All of this is part of a wider 25th-anniversary celebration of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1, a silhouette that itself has seen a fully-fledged retro this year. Now, after the OG options in White/Freshwater and Varsity Royal have hit shelves, it’s time for arguably the Kid’s most famous colorway — the Black Nike Air Griffey Max 1 “Freshwater”
Last seen in 2016 for its 20th anniversary and The Kid’s Hall of Fame induction, the iconic black and teal trainer will relaunch this year in true-to-OG form, with its aggressive-yet-organic design paired with its striking black, teal, and white build is almost as iconic as Junior’s smooth swing.
