Nike Air Griffey Max Retro Coming in 2009

This time it’s not an April Fools joke, the Griffey’s will indeed return in 2009. Perhaps TSG was trying to leak some info back in April???? However, the 1995/1996 Air Griffey Max will get retro love in 2009. As of right now we know two OG colorways will drop; White/Black/Mariner Emerald & White/Varsity Royal/Yellow. The Black will drop in April and the Blue will release in June. Retail will be $140. Forget Obama and McCain, VOTE GRIFFEY FOR PRESIDENT!! (only OG heads can understand) More pics after the jump! via NT

I remember me and my homeboy Rob (RIP) searched all night in Orlando, FL on I-Drive trying to find these on a school trip lol.

  36. Comment by CenValCali September 27th, 2008 at 4:19 am

    Couldn’t afford em back then due to min. wage ($4.25/hr.). Fast forward 15+ yrs. later, 3 kids, a chihuahua, & a certificate for operating heavy equipment….its nothin, bring it!! Like to see a Cinci Reds makeup in these also.

    What if they came out with these in a red/white/black Jordan colorway in honor of his time playing with the Cincinnati Reds? Those would be truly truly dope!!! I’ll probly cop the varsity royal pair anyway tho cuz these are straight heat!!!

  44. Comment by Bo_Knows September 27th, 2008 at 9:08 pm

    Just like some said, what a day for shoes. I just got my Penny II’s today and I see this OMG. I can’t wait to cop these next year.

  45. cannot wait!!!! had the og blue ones in 5th grade, got em from shoe carnival!!! these ar a 2 cop off tops!

  46. hmmm…. 2008 TSG april fools joke…and they actually dropping
    “The Black will drop in April ” 2009…

    G can see the future!!!

  47. correct me if I’m wrong G-Roc, but the shoe on the top right looks like it could be the CB34 Max…are they re-releasing the white/black colorway AGAIN? If so, somebody needs to give them the word to drop the all-black pair. Haven’t seen those since ‘94-’95.
