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 latest collaboration between Nike and MLB, the Air Max 270 City Connect Pack, pays homage to the bold aesthetics of team-related styles, merging cutting-edge sneaker technology with vibrant MLB franchise identities. Available now across select retailers, the pack highlights Nike’s commitment to bridging sports performance and streetwear culture.
Design & Inspiration
Each silhouette in the pack draws from the MLB City Connect series, celebrated for its daring reinterpretations of team branding. The 270’s signature Air cushioning remains intact, with uppers featuring gradient hues and localized graphics—think Boston’s neon-rugged patterns or Miami’s pastel-heavy South Beach vibe.
