It's happening!!! Nike Air Diamond Fury 2015 Retro

but he has no affiliation with the furys or those griffey remixes from a few years back

Yes and no.

The affiliation isn't the shoe itself, rather Griffey paying homage to Jackie Robinson. Let's not forget the other Jackie Robinson Griffeys, the camouflage low-top 360 and the UCLA low-top 360.

Griffey was the first player to reach out to Selig with the request to wear number 42. That was in '97. Thus, the Swingman Remix, which is half Air Griffey Max II (1997) in which all teams had the 50th Anniversary patch of Jackie Robinson on their jersey.

Junior is single-handedly responsible for the commemoration each year. Thus, it's only right that he be celebrated across all models.

did not know that, thanks for the history! Pretty awesome of Griffey to do that too
 
anyone try to maybe just use the krylon matte finisher on the midsole to get rid of the shine?
 
larrivee7 i stand corrected...

weird how they would do that tho make the same shoe but slightly change the midsole.

about a month ago i posted about how the darwin and air proof were basically the same shoe yet the air proofs were cheaper.

nike is such a random brand.
 
Just got a pair today. On sale at that.. Shape is a lil off from the OG's but not a dealbreaker. Threw in some black laces and i was good to go.
 
The Emerald colorway is on sale in DTLR right now for $99 for those of you that care. Was going to cop them at first, but I'd rather just get another Freshwater pair of Griffey Max 1's
