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 sportswear giant has done it again with its latest release - the Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, now available at retailers worldwide. This special collection brings together Nike's cutting-edge sneaker technology with the unique visual identities of MLB's celebrated City Connect program.
A Home Run of Style and Comfort
Each pair in the collection reflects the distinctive colors and patterns of the MLB teams' City Connect jerseys, with 12 teams featured in the initial drop:
- Boston Red Sox ("Boston")
- Chicago White Sox ("Southside")
- Los Angeles Dodgers ("Fiesta").
Technical Innovation Meets Baseball Culture
The Air Max 270 continues to be a favorite among sneakerheads for its exceptional comfort, thanks to the largest permanent Air Max unit at the heel. For the MLB pack, Nike has incorporated breathable mesh fabrics that mirror jersey materials and added team-specific embroidery details.
