Nike has sure shown some love to The Kid in 2021, with a handful of special Ken Griffey-themed kicks like the “Spider-Man 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 a handful of OG options have hit shelves, it’s time for the silhouette to get seasonal with this Nike Air Griffey Max 1 “Wheat” for Fall

An alternate version to the “Flax” option served up in 2016 for its 20th anniversary, this year’s “Wheat” offering opts for a shaggier suede upper in a significantly more saturated tan hue. And while white midsoles and gum rubber outsoles remain, there are several other changes to differentiate itself from the aforementioned release. For example, branding at the strap, heel, and Swoosh outlines are in white, as are the laces and strap buckle. There’s also a sprinkling of golden-yellow at the eyelets and Swoosh bellies., as well as the interior Air supports.

Take a look at the official images of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 “Wheat” in Gradeschool sizing here below, and expect to see these release in adults sizing, too, as we edge closer to Fall. As always, keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for further updates.
