The Nike Air Griffey Max 2 is one of the most underrated signature sneakers of the 90s. While the Griffey 1 has always been preferred over the Griffey 2, both pairs are still some of the best silhouettes of all time. For the 2023 MLB All-Star festivities, Nike brought the Griffey 2 back as a cleat for the first time since 1997. Now, for Fall 2024, the Griffey 2 Cleat is back and in an original colorway.
The Nike Air Griffey 2 MCS Cleat comes in the original black, freshwater, and white colorway. Worn on the field by The Kid during his time with the Seattle Mariners, the sneaker and the cleat were popular amongst sneakerheads and baseball players. Remaining faithful to the OG in terms of color scheme, the Nike Air Griffey 2 MCS Cleat Freshwater sports an all-black design, highlighted by white accents and subtle hits of freshwater. While most await the next retro run of the Nike Air Griffey Max 2 sneaker, baseball players can wear the cleats to hold them over.
The Nike Griffey 2 MCS Cleat Freshwater is set to release on August 2, 2024, through Nike and select retailers. Coming in men's sizing, retail is set at $140. For the latest information on this and other releases, download the Sole Retriever Mobile app.
