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.
Celebrating City Pride
The new Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack pays homage to the successful City Connect jersey program that has reinvigorated fan bases across baseball. Each sneaker in the collection features team-specific color blocking and design elements drawn from their respective City Connect uniforms.
Key Features
- 270-degree Air unit for all-day comfort
- Breathable mesh upper with reinforced synthetic overlays
- Team-specific colorways for all City Connect programs
- Special MLB-branded insole and heel tab details
- Rubber outsole with modified waffle pattern for traction
Availability
The collection launches today on Nike.com and at select retailers, with sizes available for men, women, and youth. Retail price is set at $160 USD. Early reports suggest the popular Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles colorways are selling particularly fast.
"This collaboration represents our commitment to bringing stadium style to streetwear," said Nike Baseball VP of Product Design Marcus Taylor. "The Air Max 270 platform lets us celebrate these team identities while delivering exceptional comfort for all-day wear."
With the spring footwear market heating up alongside the baseball season, these kicks are positioned to become one of the summer's most visible styles at ballparks nationwide.
