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 raised the bar with its latest release: the Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, now available exclusively through Nike.com and select retailers.
A Celebration of Baseball Culture
This special edition collection features unique designs inspired by MLB's popular City Connect series, which reinterpret team uniforms through the lens of their home cities' identities. Each sneaker in the pack incorporates distinctive elements from MLB teams' City Connect uniforms, creating footwear that captures baseball's evolving cultural relevance.
Technology Meets Style
The Air Max 270 platform provides a comfortable all-day cushion thanks to its large Air unit - the tallest ever featured in an Air Max shoe. The MLB versions maintain all the performance benefits while incorporating:
- Team-specific color blocking
- Unique graphic treatments matching City Connect motifs
- Embossing and detailing that references each city
- Special edition packaging
