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 wear giant continues its groundbreaking MLB City Connect series with the highly anticipated Air Max 270 pack. This special collection delivers sneakers that embody the unique personality and culture of each MLB city through colorways and design elements that mirror their corresponding team's City Connect jerseys.
Bold City-Inspired Designs
Each shoe in the pack vividly translates a team's City Connect aesthetics to footwear form. The Chicago White Sox edition channels Chicago's iconic "Southside" script in bold black and white, while the Boston Red Sox version captures the yellow-and-blue "Boston" chest script from their alternate uniforms.
"The Air Max 270 has always been about comfort and style," said Nike footwear designer Marcus Tierney. "Pairing it with the MLB City Connect program allowed us to push creative boundaries and design shoes that tell authentic local stories through sportswear."
Signature Comfort Technology
Beyond the eye-catching designs, the shoes deliver the signature Air Max 270 comfort with the largest heel Air unit in the franchise. The breathable mesh upper and internal foam cushioning make these perfect for both game days and streetwear.
The pack covers 12 MLB teams at launch:
- Boston Red Sox
- Chicago White Sox
- Los Angeles Dodgers
- Houston Astros
- San Francisco Giants
- Miami Marlins
- Washington Nationals
- San Diego Padres
- Colorado Rockies
- Arizona Diamondbacks
- Texas Rangers
- Toronto Blue Jays
Available Now
The Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack is available now on Nike.com
Will more MLB teams get their own version later in the season? Nike remains tight-lipped, but with ever-growing interest in the City Connect program, we wouldn't be surprised to see round two before the playoffs begin.
