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 proof of Nike's baseball innovation comes in sneaker form with the Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, now available at select retailers and online. This special edition collection celebrates MLB's popular City Connect series that has brought bold new designs to baseball uniforms since their introduction in 2021.
Each shoe in the eight-color collection borrows the signature hues and design elements from various MLB teams' City Connect uniforms, including:
- Chicago Cubs ("Wrigleyville" edition)
- Boston Red Sox ("Boston Chinatown" edition)
- Miami Marlins ("Vice City" edition)
- San Francisco Giants ("OG Cream" edition)
"This collaboration represents why Nike continues to lead in performance footwear design," said MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. "The Air Max 270 platform brings comfort for fans whether they're at the ballpark or around town."
Key Features:
The shoes retail for $160 USD and include these premium features:
- 270-degree visible Air unit in the heel
- Mesh and synthetic upper materials
- Team-specific color blocking and embroidery
- Special edition MLB-themed insoles
Limited quantities are available, so baseball and sneaker fans are encouraged to act fast. The release coincides with MLB's mid-season push where playoff positions start to take shape and jersey sales traditionally spike.
