While this generation\u2019s Nike talent will be decked out in celebratory cleats, we\u2019re still waiting on the return of a select few trainers that are tied to America\u2019s favorite pastime. Following the return of the Air Max Nomo, Diamond Turf favorites and countless Griffey variations, we call for five more Nike Baseball trainers we\u2019d like to see in retro form.<\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Diamond Fury<\/h2>\n<p>While the Fuse update wasn\u2019t bad, we still really want to see the Nike Air Diamond Fury retro in original form. Similar to how the Air Up served as a prelude to the Pennys, the Diamond Fury paved the way for Griffey\u2019s signature success.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Zoom Diamond<\/h2>\n photo via <a title=\"Eastbay Blog\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.eastbay.com\/all\/eastbay-memory-lane-1997-nike-baseball-turf-trainers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Eastbay Blog<\/a>\n<p>Kenny Lofton may not have collected paychecks from two sports like Bo and Deion, but he does have college hoops on his resume. The Arizona grad\u2019s athleticism gave him great appeal as a trainer endorser. Capitalizing on trademark technology and lines of the time, the Nike Air Zoom Diamond featured cues from Nike favorites of the era that registers as oddly dated with niche nostalgia.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Diamond Turf 4<\/h2>\n photo via <a title=\"Grey Flannel Auctions\" href=\"http:\/\/catalog.greyflannelauctions.com\/LotDetail.aspx?lotid=17505\" target=\"_blank\">Grey Flannel Auctions<\/a>\n<p>Deion Sanders\u2019 combination of athletic talent and superstar charisma made Primetime one of the most popular and marketable athletes of all time. His Diamond Turf series has done well in retro form, but we\u2019re still yet to see the DT 4 come back. While the turf versions coordinated with Cowboys colorways, we\u2019d love to see a cleat-less version drop of this Cincinnati Reds PE.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air K-Low<\/h2>\n photo via <a title=\"Sneaker Report\" href=\"http:\/\/sneakerreport.com\/news\/the-complete-history-of-baseball-signature-trainers\/7\" target=\"_blank\">Sneaker Report<\/a> by <a title=\"Flickr: marco23d\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/29506637@N06\/5058092277\/\" target=\"_blank\">marco23d<\/a>\n<p>A strong signature shoe always plays to the strengths of its endorser. The Nike Air K-Low looked as fast as Kenny Lofton, taking more to the track then weight room wear. Zoom Air cushioning catered to such characteristics, with its low cut also proving rare.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Griffey Max III<\/h2>\n<p>Asymmetrical lacing or a strap system is usually enough to differentiate a shoe from the market. The Nike Air Griffey Max III had both. Odd, aggressive, but also totally utilitarian, the GM3 was just as tough of a turf shoe as it was a cleat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight, the best in baseball congregate in New York City for the famed MLB All-Star Game.
