Nike Air Max Griffey 1 “Cincinnati Reds” shoes celebrate the player’s journey with the Cincinnati Reds team
Ken Griffey Jr., one of baseball's most productive players in the 1990s, exceeded the boundaries of the game and enthralled millions with his power on the ground.
The Nike Air Max Griffey 1 quickly became one of the most well-liked training sneakers since its 1996 debut. Sales were undoubtedly helped by the fact that it was one of the world's most famous athlete's signature models, but the shoe's bold design, detailed with an ankle strap, sizeable toe Swoosh, Air Max in the heel as well as forefoot, and colorways in which the Seattle Mariners were featured, also contributed to its success.
Since then, it has been released multiple times in both the original styles and numerous new color schemes, becoming the most frequently re-released turf trainer ever.
Many fans will agree that the athlete's tenure with the Cincinnati Reds was the turning point in his career, even though his later years may not have had the same success as his early ones. Inspired by the team’s palette, the latest Air Max Griffey 1 will be dressed in a red-and-white color scheme.
The entire shoe is wrapped up in a Pure Platinum/University Red-White color scheme. The model is dominated by nubuck and leather, with red accents across the uppers that are made using gray elements. The Swoosh along the toe box, which has white needlework around the edges, gives us our first charm of this vivid color.
This white color continues onto the tongue flap as well as on the lace set. Large "Nike" writing covers the red nubuck used for the fastening strap, while Griffey's number 24 is featured on the Velcro strap (even though he switched to the number 30 when he moved to the Reds). With Nike marking underneath the red insole extending this color, the thick, padded sockliner nearby is white.
The Swoosh on the heel's spine provides the last splash of color on the top, while a white foam midsole featuring red accents, exposed Air units, and a red/white rubber outer sole unit rounds off the overall design.
