Presented is a pair of 1990s Ken Griffey Jr. Seattle Mariners game issued Nike cleats from the Hall of Fame outfielder's first tour with the Mariners. Griffey played 22 MLB seasons: Seattle Mariners (1989-99 & 2009-10), Cincinnati Reds (2000-08), and Chicago White Sox (2008). The left-handed swinger batted a career .284, with 630 home runs. The 13-time All-Star was a 10-time Gold Glove recipient and won the 1997 AL MVP. Known as "Junior" and "the Kid," Griffey and his father, Ken Griffey Sr., were the first father and son to play together on the same Major League team, and on Sept. 14, 1989, they became the first father and son to blast back-to-back home runs. The shoes are black with white trim and the socks have black laces. On each side of the shoes is the Nike Swoosh. Each of the individual six cleats on the underside of each shoe also has the Nike logo and Swoosh. The Nike name is also on the outside of each shoe tongue. On the inside heel of each shoe is a sticker reading, "115067 011 00/Air GRIFF - E. Matel/M4 -14,15,16." On the top, back outside heel of each shoe is a stylized image of Griffey, trademark cap on backward, taking a swing. There is a small spot of residue, possibly of glue, on the right shoe, outside rear right. There are a few other tiny spots or stains in a few other places on the cleats, but the cleats appear unused and are almost in pristine condition. The cleats come with a pair of blue, Twin City soccer tube socks, with a white spot and a red line. The socks are 27" in length, and each is 80% acrylic, 10% nylon, and 10% elastic. The socks appear to have had some limited use with some loose threads and wear, but it is not clear who may have worn the socks.
