Since I wrote about the upcoming Nike Air Swingman Remix last week (click here for that post), two more players have been spotted wearing the Ken Griffey Jr. signature shoe:

Whether these are PE’s or not has yet to be seen, but with both Bill Hall and Torii Hunter lacing them up, my theory that Griffey is hand-picking the players who are wearing them is looking even more accurate.
Also, two new catalog pics have surfaced for the Fall ‘08 release (thanks to Jose R. for the pics):
Photos of the models with red accents, grey accents, and royal accents haven’t turned up yet… hopefully we’ll be seeing those soon.
