If you didn’t do any Black Friday shopping yesterday, chances are you didn’t see this hot new Metallic Silver/White Nike Air Max Jr colorway. The entire upper is done in metallic silver, while a white swoosh covers the toe area. A matching metallic silver sole holds the Max Air unit in place. You can cop these now in most stores.
Nike continues to bring us more hot Air Max Jr. colorways, and here is a look at one of the latest to make it past the drawing board. Inspired by the Cincinnati Reds who Griffey played for from 2000-2008, this pair sports an all-red upper and a matching 360 Max Air unit, accentuated with a white swoosh and white stripes on the eyelets. Expect to see these in stores within the next few weeks.
The Freshwater theme has worked quite well on all of the other Griffey models, so it should be no surprise to it on the Nike Air Max Jr. This pair has a mostly black upper, with Fresh Water on the tongue, outsole, and swoosh. You can get them now at the NY-based store Sneaker Bistro, and on eBay as well.
It’s been a few months since we first got a look at Dark Grey/White-Total Orange Nike Air Max Jr, but now it’s time for an update. At the time, it was only known that they were planned for release sometime in September, but now we finally have an official date. They are scheduled to hit stores on September 17, and should be available at most major chains. With it’s grey upper and bright orange accents, they should be easy neck-breakers.

Nike hits another homerun with this new Air Max Jr. colorway. It has an upper similar to that of the Dark Grey/White-Total Orange Air Max Jr., complemented with white mesh and purple accents. They are available in select stores now at a retail price of $160.
Back in March, we got a look at the Dark Grey/White-Total Orange Nike Air Max Jr. Those aren’t planned for release until September, but here’s a colorway that you can expect to see much earlier. This pair has a white upper, consisting of leather and mesh, decorated with chlorine blue accents, and a matching blue tongue. An icy clear chlorine blue outsole as been used as well. These are available now in select stores.
There’s two types of statements: opinions and facts. I don’t think anyone can argue that it’s a fact that Ken Griffey, Jr. has had the hottest sneakers for any baseball player (eat your heart out, Jeter). Once again, Nike has maintained his reputation with their latest hybrid, The Nike Air Max JR. The JR is a combination of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 and Nike’s 360 Max Air sole. This colorway is planned for release in September.
