Ken Griffey Jr.’s signature Nike sneaker returned in a Varsity Royal colorway in March 2026, a shade that had only released twice before, including its original debut in 2009. The Air Griffey Max 1 is one of the most beloved baseball-inspired sneakers in Nike’s history, carrying the legacy of one of the sport’s most electrifying players.
The Royal and white combination complemented the Griffey Max 1’s bold design lines and the iconic visible Air unit beautifully, making for one of the more visually striking retros of the spring season. Demand from collectors who missed previous releases was high from announcement.
The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Varsity Royal retailed at $180 and released March 6, 2026 through Nike SNKRS and select footwear retailers.
