With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing. It's too early on 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 comes in the form of the new Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, available now at Nike.com
Team-Inspired Designs
Each pair in the 30-team collection incorporates the unique color schemes and graphic elements debuted through MLB's City Connect program:
- The Boston Red Sox version features "Boston" in yellow across the match along with the team's unique beige/baby blue color scheme
- Chicago White Sox models sport the black and white silhouette style the South Siders adopted in 2024
- Los Angeles Dodgers authentically represent the franchise's recently unveiled Chicano art-inspired design
Technological Innovation
The Air Max 270 platform provides all-day comfort with:
- The tallest standalone Air unit in Nike history (32mm heel Air unit)
