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 pushed boundaries with their latest release - the Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, now available at select retailers and Nike.com. This special collection celebrates the unique identities of all 30 MLB franchises through the lens of their popular City Connect uniforms.
Breathing New Life Into Baseball Footwear
Originally launched in 2018, the Air Max 270 quickly became a lifestyle staple with its oversized Air unit providing unmatched comfort. For this MLB collection, designers took inspiration from each team's distinctive City Connect color schemes and localized motifs.
"Baseball culture is about more than just the game - it's about the communities that support these teams," said Nike Baseball's creative director. "We wanted the Air Max 270 to reflect that same local pride and connection."

Early reactions from sneakerheads and baseball fans alike have been overwhelmingly positive, selling out several colorways within hours of release online.
