Nike Air Griffey Max 1 "Freshwater" Set for a Comeback

March 24, 2025

Nike is bringing back a classic! The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 "Freshwater" is making a return for the 2025 holiday season. Last seen in 2021, this iconic sneaker continues to celebrate the legendary career of baseball star Ken Griffey Jr.

A Look Back at the “Freshwater” Legacy

First released in 1996, the “Freshwater” colorway honors Griffey’s time with the Seattle Mariners. The design mirrors the team’s colors, combining black, teal, white, and red for a standout look.

This shoe was previously re-released in 2016 to celebrate Griffey’s induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame and again in 2021 for the 25th anniversary of the Air Griffey Max 1. Now, it’s back to give fans another chance to own a piece of sneaker history.
