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 sportswear giant continues its groundbreaking partnership with Major League Baseball today with the release of the highly anticipated Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack. This premium footwear collection takes design inspiration from the MLB's popular City Connect jersey program that began in 2021.

Each sneaker in the collection incorporates unique colorways and design elements directly from participating MLB teams' special City Connect uniforms. The Chicago White Sox edition features the bold "Southside" white script from their uniforms, while the Houston Astros' pair matches their "Space City" theme with NASA-inspired details.

"When we launched the City Connect program four seasons ago, part of the vision was to create cross-category storytelling beyond the jerseys themselves," said Nike VP of MLB Marketing. "The Air Max 270 shows perfect synergy between contemporary lifestyle design and authentic team style cues."

Key Features of the Pack:

• Available for 10 MLB teams with City Connect programs
• Superior Air Max 270 cushioning technology
• Premier materials including breathable mesh and engineered knit
• Team-specific branding on tongue and heel
• Special edition box featuring team logos

The limited collection launched today on Nike.com and at select retailers including House of Hoops locations. With baseball's cultural moment stronger than ever in 2025, these culturally connected sneakers are sure to sell out fast.
