Nike introduces the second iteration USA theme that is seen decorating the signature Air Griffey Max 1 sneaker model. The shoe is detailed with hues of Old Royal and Gym Red across the silhouette, which has a white base foundation made from premium leather materials.
It is adorned with all-black overlaying details that can be seen by the rubber outsole and the nubuck mudguards. The leather can also be seen in red for a bright pop of color before it is contrasted by the navy blue that makes up the tongue pull tab, the eyelets, and the velcro strap over the high-cut collar. It is rounded out by the number 24 on the strap to finish the look.
