With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing. While it's still too early to predict the true contenders for the World Series title or the season-end awards, one thing has already become crystal clear: Nike continues to dominate as the innovator of on-field jersey design in the 21st century.
The latest proof? The highly anticipated Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack
Building on the success of the City Connect jersey series that reimagined MLB team identities through the lens of their hometown culture, this special sneaker collection translates those designs into footwear form. Each pair features distinctive colors and graphics that match their respective City Connect uniforms, paying tribute to each franchise's unique local identity. The Air Max 270 platforms these MLB editions stands as one of Nike's most comfortable lifestyle models, featuring the tallest standalone Air unit in Nike history at startup. The sneaker's mesh and synthetic upper provides breathability while offering distinctive panels perfect for team-specific designs. The first wave includes designs for Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Miami Marlins, Houston Astros, and five other teams. As MLB continues rolling out City Connect jerseys to additional clubs throughout the 2025 season, matching Air Max 270 editions will follow. "This collection represents the perfect mashup of innovation, comfort, and hometown pride," said Nike Baseball VP of Design Pete Hattem. "Just as the jerseys connect players to their cities, these kicks let fans literally walk in that same spirit." The Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack
