With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing.
While it's too early to declare true contenders for the World Series or predict end-of-season award winners, one thing has become undeniably clear at this juncture: Nike continues to dominate as true innovators of the on-field jersey movement in the 21st century.
This truth finds new expression in the recently released Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, a footwear collection that translates each team's unique City Connect aesthetic into street-ready silhouette.The pack celebrates Nike's ongoing partnership with Major League Baseball while fusing performance technology with urban style.
