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 latest proof of Nike's dominance in baseball fashion comes with today's release of the Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack - a sneaker collection that translates each team's unique City Connect jersey aesthetics into streetwear-ready footwear.
Blending Performance With Urban Style
Featuring the same bold color stories and localized inspiration as the popular jerseys, these Air Max 270s bring diamond swagger to the streets. The collection includes options for all 30 teams, with each pair showcasing:
- Team-specific gradient finishes matching City Connect jerseys
- Embroidered team logos on the tongue and heel
- Geo-patterned air cushions representing each hometown
- UV-reactive details that appear under sunlight
The Crossover Baseball Needed
The drop comes at a perfect time for fashion-conscious baseball fans looking to represent their teams' distinct visual identities beyond the ballpark. With groundbreaking sneaker technology meeting MLB's progressive uniform revolution, even bottom-dwelling teams' colors look fresh.
The limited-edition packs are available now through Nike's SNKRS app and select MLB team stores. Given how quick previous Nike baseball collaborations have sold out, you'll need more hustle than a rookie trying to leg out an infield single to grab these.
