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 Swoosh continues to dominate the baseball footwear market with the release of its all-new Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, available now through Nike.com and select retailers.
Celebrating Team Identity
This special edition collection features 12 colorways representing MLB teams participating in the popular City Connect program. Each pair showcases the unique local culture and heritage that has made these alternate uniforms fan favorites since their 2021 debut.
Signature Comfort Meets Team Pride
The Air Max 270 remains one of Nike's most comfortable lifestyle silhouettes, now elevated with:
- Full-length Air sole unit for maximum cushioning
- Team-specific colors and logos on the tongue and heel
- Embroidered City Connect details highlighting local motifs
- Sockliner with team-specific city moniker
Early favorites in heavyweight Los Angeles markets include the Dodger Blue/Black/Gold and Angels Red/Pepper Leaf combinations, though our staff is particularly taken with the White Sox's Southside Black/White version featuring a subtle but modern pinstripe connection.
The pack retails for $160 per pair, justifying the premium price tag and value as must-have items this season for fans looking to flaunt localized exuberance. Nike is also accepting early pre-orders on its Nike By You custom platform to personalize your sports lifestyle.
