Yes and no.
The affiliation isn't the shoe itself, rather Griffey paying homage to Jackie Robinson. Let's not forget the other Jackie Robinson Griffeys, the camouflage low-top 360 and the UCLA low-top 360.
Griffey was the first player to reach out to Selig with the request to wear number 42. That was in '97. Thus, the Swingman Remix, which is half Air Griffey Max II (1997) in which all teams had the 50th Anniversary patch of Jackie Robinson on their jersey.
Junior is single-handedly responsible for the commemoration each year. Thus, it's only right that he be celebrated across all models.
