Nike Air Max Griffey Fury – Spring 2012

By this point in history, Ken Griffey Jr. is probably most strongly associated with the Nike Air Max Griffey 1, but that wasn’t his first Swoosh signature.  A year before those hit stores along with the ‘Griffey in 96’ campaign, the Air Diamond Fury brought a swooping, flowy vamp that remains one of the great basetball cleat designs of all time.  Now fast forward seventeen years to the next spring when the Nike Air Max Griffey Fury updates this overlooked classic and adds a 360-degree Max Air cushion a la the Air Max JR.  The upper will also get an update with a synthetic and mesh construction replacing the classic two-toned nubuck.  Click through to see a trio of upcoming colorways including the OG Fresh Water style and stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via CK
