Maybe the greatest baseball-inspired signature shoe of all time — scratch that maybe; it is — the Air Griffey Max 1 celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year. Nike is celebrating the milestone first with the revival of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Fresh Water, which was expected to hit stores on April 21. But you know how it goes: the waiting is the hardest part.
So Nike has dispensed with said waiting altogether. Stores like New York’s Sneaker Bistro report that they’re now stocking the iconic silhouette’s beloved colorway, a nod to the Mariners’ classic colors by way of that emerald green, white and black.
So be on the lookout for a pair going forward. National accounts like Eastbay.com will likely still carry the shoe from April 21, but apparently independent shops could have them any day. And if this one’s not your favorite palette, worry not; more are on the way.
