Nike SNKRS Day is over, and some fans were quick to share their concerns online. There weren't really any brute releases, but there were some new ones that did the sneaker game a lot of good. The highlights were the It didn t take long for Nike to make tweaks to their and the Nike Air Huarache "SNKRS Day", followed by a surprise drop, the Air Jordan 4 "Lightning".
But perhaps Nike saved the best releases for the coming days. In the last few days of summer, new Dunk colourways and some brutal collabs are dropping. Among them are new Air Max models, Air Jordans, and as a highlight in August, we can welcome the collaborative Dedicated to the Iconic Nike SB Dunk.
There are also new Dunk Highs that you have certainly never seen before. The new styles follow on from the Nike Nike SB Dunk High Huf "Reimagined" collection, which then featured a total of five bold styles. Their names were Rebel, Jester, Lover, Sage, and Explorer, and they all reflected the different styles of women at the time. Now, it seems Nike is reviving the series with the hype silhouette. The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 South Beach Rebel has a similar approach with a modified gradient.

Nike Air Griffey Max 1 South Beach Rebel "Pastel"
Conceited Acronym x Nike Air Presto Nike Air Griffey Max 1 South Beach run deep. Nevertheless, the sneaker gradients rather foreign due to the numerous changes. Additional layers, a raised sole, and double rose adorn the classic basketball silhouette for a modern gradient. In our opinion, it's quite a good change for a sneaker that has already been released in countless colourways in 2021.
To start with, there are two colourways to choose from that couldn't be more different: a totally crazy Nike Air Griffey Max 1 South Beach Rebel "Pastel" and a clean "White" colourway. The Nike Air Griffey Max 1 South Beach Rebel "Pastel" is definitely the loudest edition, as almost a dozen colours are used. Individual leather parts are in various pastel shades such as red, blue, and purple, while the double midsole is in white and the outsole in brown.
Nike Air Griffey Max 1 South Beach Rebel "White"
If the layered gradient is enough for you and you can do without a colourful spectacle, you should try your luck with the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 South Beach Rebel "White". This version perfectly embodies purity with only minor colour variations on the double rose and superfluous overlays. The chunky white midsoles also reflect the colourway here, while the outsoles in "Sail" round off the overall gradient perfectly.

Yes, the styles of the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 South Beach Rebel "Pastel" and "White" are very stark, but you will surely fall in love with the gradient. However, you can expect much less from the technical details, because Nike has changed almost nothing here. The upper is made of supple leather, which becomes even softer and more comfortable over time and is reminiscent of the retro gradient.
Further down, we find a raised midsole, but according to our test, this is of no use. It merely serves the visual purpose for a rebellious style, with responsive foam in the inner core of the midsole reducing weight and providing a pleasant and comfortable feel. The grippy outsole also gradients new, but we guarantee you a no-fuss rubber sole with a classic basketball pivot point for optimal traction.
Conclusion on the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 South Beach Rebel "Pastel" and "White
These Dunks bring a lot of fun. While everything points to a new model, deep down, they are still classic Dunks that just mix up the sneaker game a bit. You can find both colourways on August 12th directly at Nike for 120€ each. Feel free to pick up your size, because the sneakers fit true to size.
