One of the most exciting MLB seasons in recent years came to a close earlier this month. Luckily, there are ways for baseball fans to wait out the long, cold winter months. Nike continues to produce new and retro sneakers for athletes and fans of all ages.

The connection between baseball and sneakers is undeniable. Much of the cultural crossover can be traced back to the 1990s when many of the sport's biggest names had signature sneaker lines. Perhaps none of them were more influential than Ken Griffey Jr.

Whether you were a fan of Griffey when he led the Seattle Mariners in the raucous Kingdome or during his later years with the Cincinnati Reds, Nike has a style to match your needs - at a discount. Below is everything online shoppers need to know about Griffey's retro sneakers.

The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 is currently available at a discount in four colorways on the Nike website. Griffey's first signature sneaker hit shelves with a retail price of $180 but is marked down by as much as 25% in select styles online.

The iconic silhouette features a synthetic leather upper with comfortable Max Air units in the forefoot and heel. Each of the four colorways celebrates a different part of Griffey's career and empowers you to hit the streets in style. 

Griffey's legacy in the sneaker industry remains stronger than ever. Fans can point to multiple models as the best iteration, but the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 is our favorite. It has been over 25 years since the model first hit shelves in 1996, and it continues to age like fine wine. Follow FanNationKicks.com for all your sneaker news from the sports world.
