Nike Air Griffey Max 1

Nike Air Griffey Max 1Last year Nike brought back a number of classics, but 2009 is filled with many greats making a return as well.  Nike made a major push after the baseball market in the mid-90′s with a number of campaigns involving Ken Griffey, Jr.

Griffey wore a number of Nike cross trainers and cleats over his young career, but in 1996, Nike blessed him with his first signature shoe, the Nike Air Griffey Max.

This colorway will release in April at Nike Urban accounts for $140.  Click here to have a look at more shots of the kicks at the diamond and in the studio.

Update:  A few pairs are available early at osneaker.

    Good decision — poor execution.

    Nike, WTH did you do with the Air Bubble?!?!

    It’s virtually non-existent! W – T – H ?

    Am I the only once noticing here?

    Helloooooo?
