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.
