The last Nike Air Griffey Max 1 release was the Cool Grey/Marina Blue release of February, and that was presumed to be the last of the Griffey Max 1 releases once the first colorway of the Air Griffey Max GD II dropped. However one more colorway was in the works for a June release, a Quickstrike with a Metallic Platinum/Black colorway. This new colorway has a metallic platinum upper with a black midsole, ankle collar, strap, and lace-up construction, and will release later this week with accompanying apparel releasing alongside. With a sweet lefty unasterisked swing combined with an outfield glove like a venus fly trap, Ken Griffey Jr. stands as the only baseball player in history to have a signature line that translated successfully to urban wear. Will this colorway be a proper tribute to Ken Griffey Jr.? Check out the collection of images after the jump and share your thoughts on this latest Griffey release. These will be dropping this week and are already available at Sneakerpolitics.
