Summertime is when baseball takes center stage and no game universally evokes such strong nostalgia as our nation’s passtime. What better time to release a classic colorway from Ken Griffey Jr.’s first Nike signature? We don’t want to wait a whole year till 2012 just so the ‘Junior for President’ campaign, so otherwise this ‘Mariners Emerald’ Nike Air Max Griffey 1 is as timely as The Kid’s legendary looping swing. It’s a faithful reproduction of the 1996 original and bares the same Freshwater shade of teal as the doubly-sold-out pair of ’09 fame.
