  Though much of what we remember about  Ken Griffey Jr.’s   career is tied to his time in Seattle, there was a 9-year stretch in Cincinnati that had its ups and downs but is still a significant part of the Hall of Famer’s story. Nike is remembering Griffey Jr.’s tenure with his hometown team by delivering a Reds-themed take on his first signature sneaker, the   Air Griffey Max 1 . Aligned with the team’s grey and red threads, the “Reds” Air Griffey Max 1 is styled in grey-toned nubuck, boldly offset with red hits in key areas such as the cross-strap, pull-tabs, and various branding hits. White also finds a home on the ‘24’ lettering, Swooshes, and midsole. Expect the “Reds” Air Griffey Max 1 to  release  sometime in early 2023. We’ll update this post with specifics when they’re announced. UPDATE (03/02):  According to updated launch calendars, the “Cincinnati Reds” Nike Air Griffey Max 1 will finally release on March 30.

Hunter Stopped Going Into Tennessee Woods After This Creepy Cryptid Encounter

Image
  A fter thirty long years, a Tennessee man has finally revealed the reason behind his abrupt decision to stop going into the woods. The man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, has kept this secret hidden for decades, but recent events have prompted him to speak out about the harrowing experience that led to his avoidance of the Tennessee wilderness. The tale he tells is one of fear, survival, and a brush with the unknown that changed his life forever.  The Tennessee woods used to be this man's sanctuary, a place where he could escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and connect with nature. He would spend every free moment there, hunting, fishing, and camping alongside his two loyal German Shepherds. On this particular day, he packed light and only hiked a couple miles into the Smokies. He set up camp and spent a perfect day exploring the area with his faithful canine companions. The dogs fussed over some scat at some point, but the man   believed it to be from a bear   and

  After releasing a women’s exclusive  “Lucky Green” Air Jordan 1  in 2020,  Jordan Brand  will revisit the shade on a new men’s colorway next year. Said to be inspired by one of Michael Jordan’s greatest rivals, this new “Lucky Green” pair takes on Boston Celtics-appropriate coloring in the blocking of the original “Black Toe” Air Jordan 1. Leaked images shared by  @jfgrails  show what readers can expect when the pair drops next year including an all-leather upper that combines white and black with green filling in the heel and outsole along with matching shoelaces. A similar Celtics-themed Air Jordan 1 High was released in 2009 as part of a Defining Moments Pack alongside the model’s original “Bred” makeup. However, the 2009 version predated Jordan Brand’s remastered Air Jordan 1 High OG, making this new 2023 iteration the first time it has been released in this form.   The Air Jordan 1 High OG “Lucky Green” is currently expected to release on April 15, 2023, for a retail price of $1
