It’s been more than 15 years since Ken Griffey Jr. retired from baseball, and Nike is still releasing new colorways of his signature shoes. Following the Air Griffey Max 1’s 30th anniversary in 2026, the model is returning in Spring 2027 with a “Seattle’s Finest” edition featuring colors connected to his time in Seattle.
According to Sneaker Market, the new pair follows several Air Griffey Max 1 releases in 2026, including the return of the original “Freshwater” colorway. Nike is now carrying the model into another year with a Seattle-themed edition.
The shoe comes dressed in white with Fan Green, University Gold, and Sport Red accents. Those colors are similar to the old Seattle SuperSonics uniforms, while the insoles feature “Seattle’s Finest” lettering that references Griffey’s longtime connection to the city.
