With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing. While it's still too early to predict clear World Series contenders or lock in end-of-season award favorites, one thing has become abundantly clear: Nike continues to redefine baseball footwear culture with their revolutionary City Connect designs.
The Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Collection
Just in time for summer ballpark trips, Nike drops its Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, featuring colorways inspired by 12 MLB teams' alternate uniforms. The collection breathes new life into the fan-favorite Air Max 270 silhouette with team-specific details:
- Bold contrasting textiles mirroring jersey fabrics
- Team-specific gradient patterns on air units
- Embroidered City Connect wordmarks on tongues
- Special edition hangtags featuring player quotes

Perhaps the most innovative is the Boston Red Sox "Yawkey Way" edition, which replaces standard window air units with green rubberized arches resembling Fenway Park's iconic Green Monster.
Available now through Nike's SNKRS app and select MLB stadium team stores, these kicks mark the brand's latest push into performance inspired casual footwear for baseball fans. With prices starting at $170 and 8 bonus teams joining the lineup for the All-Star break, sneakerheads and baseball fans alike will need to move quickly on these limited releases.
