Ken Griffey Jr.  has been one of baseball's most highly touted players. Nike endorsed "The Kid" by releasing a pair of shoes he could call his own. During the mid 90's when Griffey was in his prime, Nike introduced the Nike Air Griffey Max 1. With a unique style, strap, and Air Max sole this sneaker made its debut. It was well received by baseball and sneaker enthusiasts alike.
This summer, Ken Griffey Jr.'s signature line is not only being revisited, but it’s also growing at the same time. Although Griffey has hung up the cleats for the last time, he’s still the front man for Nike Baseball’s Swingman line, which uses the iconic logo based off of The Kid’s follow through. The return of the Nike Air Griffey Max II, and the introduction of the Nike Air Max Jr., have helped keep Junior’s legacy moving along even though he is no longer playing professional baseball.
