The Cincinnati Reds are enjoying the last gasps of the summer on vacation after missing the MLB playoffs, but that doesn’t mean the Ohio squad can’t get in on the postseason action in one way or another. After joining Nike’s City Connect MLB collab with a red Air Max 1 colorway earlier in the season, a new pair pays tribute to one of the Cincy team’s greats.

The Cincinnati Kid

The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 Cincinnati Reds has been on our radar since February, before the MLB season started, and now, after a full but disappointing 162-game campaign, Griffey’s red retro colorway is finally dropping soon. Before the pair hits retail, though, Nike is giving us a full look at the retro colorway with an official set of images.

Featuring red on the toecap, lace panel, and side panels, the jersey-themed pair brings white leather to the base on either side of the toe, with a black Swoosh striking across the lateral side onto the toe. A black tongue and ankle strap switch to red on the laces and tongue runner, with Griffey’s 24 jersey number in white on the lateral side of the strap.
