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 once again raised the bar with the release of its highly anticipated Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack. This exclusive collection pays homage to eight MLB franchises through vibrant colorways and city-specific details that capture each team's unique identity.
A Design That Honors Baseball Culture
Each sneaker in the pack features the signature Air Max 270 silhouette but with distinctive touches that celebrate the baseball culture of host cities. The Boston Red Sox edition, for instance, incorporates the classic Fenway Park green in its heel panel, while the Chicago White Sox version boasts Southside-inspired black and white accents with pops of vibrant red.
"The City Connect program is about celebrating what makes each franchise and its hometown special," said Nike Baseball Creative Director Marcus Andrews. "With the Air Max 270, we've translated those visual identities into footwear that both players and fans can be proud to wear."
Performance Meets Streetwear
The Air Max 270 maintains its reputation for comfort and performance with a full-length Air unit that provides responsive cushioning - perfect for both dugout style and everyday wear. The MLB editions include team logos on the tongues and special inside graphics that tell each city's baseball story.
Available teams in this initial release include:
- Chicago White Sox
- Boston Red Sox
- Los Angeles Dodgers
- Miami Marlins
- San Francisco Giants
