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 extremely popular City Connect jerseys have continued Nike's run of iconic on-field innovations, and now for the first time. The Swoosh is bringing players and fans matching sneakers to coordinate with their favorite team's alternates through the Air Max 270 MLB Pack.
Celebrating Team Identity
The 270 (named for its massive 32mm Air unit) receives team-specific color blocking that matches each club's City Connect uniforms. Griffey swingman logos adorn the tongues while team wordmarks land at the heels above a transparent cage revealing more team colors.
- Available for all 30 MLB teams
- Matching City Connect colorways
- Breathable mesh upper construction
- Team logos on tongue and heel
- Visible Air cushioning technology
- Retail price: $160
Limited Edition Drop
The full Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack is available today exclusively through Nike SNKRS app and select MLB team stores. Quantities are limited with some team editions numbered with special packaging commemorating their franchise history.
This release marks the first time Nike has created sneakers specifically matched to MLB baseball uniforms - could custom cleats be far behind?
