Air Jordan 7 “Ken Griffey Jr.” Sample PE

Former Jordan Brand NRG team member Frank Cooker took to his Instagram to share this unreleased Air Jordan 7 Sample PE for Ken Griffey Jr. – a longtime Nike athlete and MLB Hall of Famer, who also has his own “Swingman” line with signature shoes like the Air Griffey Max 1 – a shoe that provided the color inspiration for this design.

This Air Jordan 7 was made for Foot Locker’s 1992 Slam Fest, a dunk contest for athletes outside of the NBA, which included stars like Barry Bonds, Chris Carter and Deion Sanders. Mike Conley Jr. won that year’s contest by dunking from the free throw line. Cooke also mentions that while collaborations weren’t a thing back then, had Griffey Jr. have worn these Air Jordan 7s things would have been different. The shoes also included Swingman and Jumpman logos on the insoles.
