Though Hideo Nomo’s peak in Major League Baseball was a blink compared to Ken Griffey Jr.’s sustained brilliance, the two are forever united in sharing ‘baseball’s most popular’ title in the mid ’90s. This led to the them sharing a Max Air cushioning platform for their 1996 Nike trainers, and now some sixteen years later, a color scheme. This new Nike Air Max NM in bright blue with neon accents offers a reprisal of the OG Total Griffey Max 99 colorway soon to hit retailers, or to borrow from another Griffey classic, 2009’s Volt-accented Air Griffey Max 1. This is the kind of electric colorway on a slightly obscure Nike Sportswear retro that’s going to be a big hit this summer; let us know how they compare to the OGs and other new Air Max Nomo releases when you click through to see more photos. via Kinstor
