Nike Prepares Air Griffey Max 2 Cleats Ahead Of MLB All-Star Game In Seattle

Just a few weeks remain before the MLB’s best and brightest travel up to the Pacific Northwest for the 2023 All-Star Game in Seattle. Paying homage to one of the greatest players to put on a Mariner uniform, Ken Griffey Jr’s Air Griffey Max 2 will be paired with studded cleats for an honorary tribute to the Emerald City in July via the Nike Baseball team.

Coordinating with the game’s occurrence on July 11th, the baseball diamond staple from 1997 ascertains a premium tooling dominated by a decadent cream-tinted tumbled leather upper. Stretched from the mudguard and dimpled sidewalls to the seldom sliver of mesh at the heel, the silhouette’s base assumes a tonal composition accented by dark tan hues lining the tongue construction and collar lining. A crisp white midsole underfoot alongside color-matched laces and loops imbue an illuminated compliment underfoot in tandem with the added silver metallic lugs for turf, grass and everything in between.

Elsewhere, the specially crafted model strikes up Emerald City allure with diamond-cut green and tan forefoot Swooshes while the lateral TPU plate anchors the heel in a black and green grid-like aesthetic. Embroidered Swingman logos at the heel receive a contemporary jet-black contrast whereas the overtly detailed ensemble cleans up with its own All-Star logo picturing Seattle’s Mount Rainier.

The turf-ready solution will kick off a range of upcoming general releases starting this Fall. In the meantime, enjoy a detailed look at the Nike Air Griffey Max 2 Cleats below as we await details regarding the pair’s release date.
