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.

A Perfect Combination of Style and Team Spirit

The new Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack delivers classic comfort with modern baseball flair. Featuring team-specific colorways that match each franchise's City Connect uniform series, these sneakers let fans represent their squad in unmatched style even when they're off the diamond.

Available now through Nike.com and select retailers, the collection includes all 30 MLB teams with their distinctive local-inspired designs:

• Boston Red Sox - "Local Connect" yellow and navy
• Chicago White Sox - Southside black and white
• Los Angeles Dodgers - Sunset Boulevard gradients
• And all 27 other MLB franchises

Footwear That Honors Baseball Culture

This isn't Nike's first foray into baseball-inspired sneakers, but the Air Max 270 MLB Pack represents their most comprehensive collaboration with America's pastime to date. The visible Air unit provides all-day comfort for both casual wear and light athletic use, while team-specific details appear throughout the uppers.

"The City Connect series reimagined how jerseys could represent local culture - now we're applying that same philosophy to footwear," said Nike Baseball VP of Design.

Each pair features franchise logos on the tongue and heel tab, with the team's City Connect colors prominently displayed through Nike's innovative flyknit materials. Subtle nods appear throughout, like stadium outline patterns on the insoles and homeplate-shaped lace locks.
