Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Nike re-releases a classic shoe, and suddenly it’s a lifestyle. The Air Griffey Max 1 shoes are back, and with them, the nostalgia for a bygone era of baseball. The perfect swing, the backwards hat, and now, the shoes. Because what’s a sports legend without a signature shoe line? The shoes are selling out fast, because who doesn’t want to relive the glory days of baseball?
Original observation: Nostalgia is just a re-release away.
