Many Americans seem a bit disillusioned with their choice of presidential candidates. But Nike has a third party option to consider: Griffey in ’16.
Revisiting the brand’s 20-year-old “Griffey in ’96” ad campaign, the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Prez features a stylishly patriotic execution. Navy blue stretches over the upper, with white and red accents rounding out the USA palette.
Gold trim and a gum brown outsole add a premium touch, while strategically placed graphics evoke the presidential theme: stars on the heel-tab; “Griffey 16” Swingman logos on the heel; and Pacific Northwest-inspired moose on the insole, in the style of the Democrat and Republican donkey and elephant, respectively.
Perfectly timed for the presidential election, the Air Griffey Max 1’s 20th anniversary, and Ken Griffey Jr’s induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Prez releases officially on June 28 at select retailers nationwide. (Some independent accounts have already stocked the shoe.) Will you be casting your vote for the Kid?
