The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 OG in its original Freshwater colorway is back—and you can grab a pair right now on Complex.
When the Air Griffey Max 1 first hit shelves in 1996, it arrived on the feet of one of baseball's most electric players. Ken Griffey Jr. wasn't just a Hall of Famer in the making—he was a cultural force whose signature Nike line crossed from the diamond into everyday wear. The Freshwater colorway, with its White/Black-Freshwater-Varsity Red palette, became the defining look of the silhouette from the start.
The shoe has come back around a few times since, each return carrying its own weight. Nike brought the Freshwater back in 2016 to mark Griffey's Baseball Hall of Fame induction, then again in 2021. This latest drop in May 2026 lands as a general release, meaning it's built for everyone.
