Ken Griffey Jr. will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on July 24. Griffey was named on 437 of 440 possible ballots, earning him a record 99.32% of the vote. The legendary slugger will also receive a crisp, triple-white reworking of the iconic Nike Air Griffey Max 1 sneaker, complete with gold swoosh livery on the heel, visible Air units, and a commemorative ‘24ever’ insole.

The retro sneakers have popped up here and there for $150 USD retail, but the shoes should be receiving wider release on Nike’s SNKRS app sometime before the induction ceremony.
