You expecting some multicolor stuff? Lol

Not multi colored but at the very least dodger colors. Black in white is a disrespect and flat out lazy. I wouldn't buy them either way due to it being a griffey shoe.

Why wouldn’t you buy it because it’s a Griffey shoe?

More like Frack the dodgers. What I'm saying is that paying homage to JR should've been done better. Especially on a griffey shoe. Blk/wht is straight basic and lazy.

I came across this video and it reminded me of your post.

GrizzlyAnimal wrote the makers a lengthy letter trying to get them to release a macho man version.

Need the Jackie Robinson pair for sure and can’t wait for the “varsity Royal”

Freshwater are up there now. Gonna try to catch these for the feet... Nike throwing too many curve balls. Want those 2000 Air max celery/dark charcoals too...

I want the JR's. Wondering why they're not in Brooklyn Dodgers colors.

It cetainly would make more sense for those Jackie Robinson ones to have Brooklyn Dodgers colors from a logical standpoint.

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

Would be dope In those colors too

 

[brewc1ty]

They’ve done dodger colors in the past. I remember the Swingman Remix having dodger colors. That was awhile ago but it seems like they’re just trying something different

I like the black/white look

 

[g-time]

I like them too. Sometimes less is more.

Sooo are we all gonna bypass the QUOTE on the strap of the shoe? Based on that quote alone, I dont think it was ever Nikes intention to make this shoe about a team colorway.

This is one of many strong quotes Robinson had during his era... And as we all should know, the era he played ball in wasn't easy for negros. Inequality was at a all time high and he persecuted for his talents.

The colorway makes a lot of sense when you think about it. The shoe is playing homage, it has a significant meaning behind that QUOTE. It's part of his heritage and our history... Hence the shoe being BLACK and WHITE...

These are all quotes from Jackie Robinson...


*“There’s not an American in this country free until every one of us is free.”

*“But if Mr. Rickey hadn’t signed me, I wouldn’t have played another year in the black league. It was too difficult. The travel was brutal. Financially, there was no reward. It took everything you make to live off.”

*“But as I write these words now I cannot stand and sing the National Anthem. I have learned that I remain a black in a white world.”

I disagree with the heritage being black and white as if that makes it more symbolic, when you could have had that quote on white and blue Griffey's with the very same significance.

The Jackie Robinson pair will be gone and up on Stock X or GOAT in seconds. They could've put artificial grass turf all over the shoe and and they'll still sell out because people want to make and extra $50. Nike knows what they're doing.

 

[KanyIZZY]

They need to place black and white shoes in colored backgrounds.. I couldn't figure out if it was a colorway or just a place holder.

What’s funny is there’s an air max 97 made exactly like you just described that I think sold out

 

[Maximus Meridius]

They need to drop these

 

[rcjbbp1313]

2s are cool as well, I'd take a release of both white and freshwater colorway (or whatever green they want to label it)

 

[noblekane]

what were the og colorways of the griffey 2?

i know i use to have a reds retro colorway but i know he wasnt on the reds when they originally dropped
