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 New Air Max 270 City Connect Collection
Dropping just as summer weather arrives, the new Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack
Key Features:
The collection arrives at a time when baseball apparel is experiencing unprecedented cultural relevance. What began as a daring experiment in 2021 with the Boston Red Sox's "LaFamilia" jerseys has blossomed into MLB's most successful merchandise line ever.
"These sneakers capture our mission to honor each team's community while pushing design boundaries," said Nike Baseball's creative director during Wednesday's launch event. "From the White Sox's Southside pride to the Marlins' vibrant Miami culture, we translated what worked on jerseys into footwear that reflects 270 degrees of baseball lifestyle."
Available now through Nike's website and select MLB team stores, the Air Max 270 City Connect sneakers range from $160-$180 depending on the team edition. Limited quantities of special collector's box sets featuring homeplate-shaped packaging are expected to sell out quickly.
