No matter how far removed a sneaker like the Nike Air Max Griffey Fury may be removed from the original string of Junior models, it still deserves to don the ‘freshwater’ colorway. We’d say it does a pretty good job of it at that, showing up with some minor tweaks from the sample version we previewed last year. In general the retail version lines up more with previous freshwater releases in the Griffey catalog, with the side Swoosh coming in white and a bit of red detailing outlining the 24 hit on the top end. This particular Nike Air Max Griffey Fury should show up at Nikestore later this month, but some spots like Millennium Shoes already have their pairs on deck. Check out the shots after the jump and let us know if you approve of the final tweaks made to these before they hit the shelves.

With all the success the Nike Griffey signature line has been garnering over the last few years, one would be wise to not expect Griffey to disappear from Nike product lines anytime soon. One way to keep the legacy going is to re-release the original models, like the Total Griffey Max ’99, which we gave you release dates on earlier this week. Another way is to re-hash some older classics with contemporary styling, and Nike certainly did that with the Air Max JR and the upcoming Air Max Griffey Fury. It utilizes the present-day full-length Max Air unit and Hyperfuse upper while adapting the design lines and curves from the Air Diamond Fury from the 90′s, all of which converges at one point to create the Nike Air Max Griffey Fury. Expect the Black/White-Action Green release to hit stores this March 3rd, so check out the additional angles below and let us know what else you think Nike has in store for the future of Air Griffey.

Just yesterday Sneaker News showed you a Royal/Volt/White ‘Sprite’-ish colorway of the Nike Air Max Griffey Fury. If you’d rather not obey your thirst for super-bright colorways, here’s a look at two upcoming Fury colorways that are both Mariners-specific and easier on the eyes; the Teal/Black colorway boldly represents Griffey Jr.’s beginning in the Pacific Northwest by ‘retro’-ing the OG colorways of the Diamond Fury, and the second Black/Silver/Neon green is simply a classic colorway that experiences a welcome nod from sneakerheads of all types. Aside from the ‘wow’ factor that most Griffeys tend to possess, the Air Max Griffey Fury is as comfortable as it is ‘rockable’, as it supported by 360-degree Max Air. More images of both colorways await you below, so take a good look and let us know what you think. via kumastock.

Nike is treating the Ken Griffey Jr. signature line much like it is the Nike Air Penny line. Both players, who are highly regarded in their respective sports, still maintain a cult following years after their prime seasons. The Air Penny line has been mashed up to produce some notable hybrids like the Air 1/2 Cent and Zoom Rookie LWP, but the Griffey line has yet to see a multi-signature hybrid shoe (but stay tuned for 2012). Shoes like the Air Max Griffey Fury is a mere reconstruction of the Air Diamond Fury, with the re-make featuring a Hyperfuse-laden upper with a 360 Max Air unit with a silhouette similar to the Air Max JR. This upcoming Royal/Volt/White colorway (we’ll refer to it as the ‘Sprite’) is set for a Spring 2012 release, so check out the extra images below and let us know what you think. via kumastock.

The home-run has become less of a sexy stat thanks to rampant usage of performance-enhancing drugs by once-revered baseball superstars. However, Ken Griffey Jr. has been kept ‘exempt’ from these accusations because of his ‘natural’ ability; Griffey did own one of the sweetest swings in Major League history, and outside of gaining a few pounds in his midsection, the only bodily transformation Griffey experienced was a severe case of Sotos syndrome, as a result of over-consuming Mr. Burns’ nerve tonic. In any case, his untouchable stardom has led to a successful signature line with Nike and a successful Retro push over the recent years, and the upcoming Air Max Griffey Fury – a hybrid of Nike’s new-age tech with the Air Diamond Fury – is a sign of many great things to come for Ken Griffey’s kicks. Check out the detailed gallery of the upcoming ‘Freshwater’ colorway of the Nike Air Max Griffey Fury and let us know what you think of the design. via RMK.

Earlier today Sneaker News showed you the ‘Freshwater’ colorway of the Nike Air Max Griffey Fury. The Air Max Griffey Fury is just the latest installment in the Nike Griffey rejuvenation in the 21st Century, combining the Nike Air Diamond Fury with a 360 Max-Air cushioning unit. The upper is redone entirely in lightweight Hyperfuse material, and the heel features the Griffey Swingman logo instead of the original ‘Nike Air’ from the original. However, the ‘JR’ badge on the tongue as well as the Nike baseball logo on the heel-tab gladly make a return. Check out more images of the Black/Action Green-White colorway after the jump and let us know what you think of the newest Griffey hybrid. via taobao.

Since the return of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 in early 2009, we’ve seen a variety of Ken Griffey Jr.’s signature kicks retroed by Nike Sportswear, but none has stood out above the AGM1 in terms of significance or number. That probably won’t change with the release of the above pictured model, though you could pretty easily argue that without the 1995-born silhouette upon which it’s based, the Air Griffey Max may have never existed. The Nike Air Max Griffey Fury pairs a full-length Max Air cushion with the lines of the Air Diamond Fury courtesy of Hyperfuse construction and an overlay whose matte finish comes off a bit like Foamposite.
