Nike Air Griffey Max 1 “Cincinnati Reds” Design

White leather panels form the base of the upper, with Varsity Red layered on top and black covering the Swooshes, tongue, and strap. That red, white, and black palette would read as a “Chicago” colorway on most sneakers, but it’s built to match the uniform Griffey wore late in his Reds career. This marks the shoe’s first retail return since its 2011 debut, separate from the grey “away” colorway that released in 2023.

How Does It Differ From the 2023 “Away” Colorway?

The “Cincinnati Reds” pair uses a red, white, and black home look, while the 2023 release wore a grey “away” colorway.
