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 athletic giant has now extended its partnership with Major League Baseball to footwear, unveiling the much-anticipated Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, featuring colorways inspired by 8 MLB teams' celebrated alternate uniforms.
Celebrating Local Baseball Culture
These performance/lifestyle hybrids translate the bold aesthetics of MLB's City Connect program into street-ready silhouettes. Each pair in the collection incorporates team-specific details:
- Boston Red Sox:
- Los Angeles Dodgers:
- Miami Marlins:
- Los Angeles Dodgers:
"This collection bridges stadium to street like nothing we've done before,"
— Nike Baseball VP Sarah Johns on the designs
Technical Highlights
Maintaining the Air Max 270's signature air cushioning (the tallest Air unit in Nike history at 32mm), the sneakers feature breathable mesh uppers and lightweight foams for all-day comfort. Special team logos grace the insoles and heel tabs, while the outsoles feature subtle baseball stitching patterns.
