With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing. It's too early to see who the true contenders for the World Series as well as end-of-season awards are, but at this juncture we can crown Nike as true innovators of the on-field jersey movement in the 21st century.
The Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack
A Home Run in Footwear Design
Each shoe in this limited collection incorporates:
- Team-specific City Connect color blocking
- Special embroidered team logos on the tongue
- Custom sockliner graphics featuring stadium schematics

"The City Connect program redefined what baseball uniforms could be, and now we're extending that vision to footwear," said Nike Baseball VP of Design Marcus Andrews.
