With a quarter of the season behind us, the 2025 MLB campaign is in full swing. It's too early on 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 newly released Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack represents the perfect fusion of performance sportswear and street-ready style, bringing together two pillars of modern athletic culture. This collection translates the boldest City Connect jersey designs from the diamond to the pavement, allowing fans to represent their team with unprecedented flair.
Celebrating Local Identity Through Design
Each pair in the pack draws direct inspiration from MLB's wildly popular City Connect series, which has redefined baseball uniform aesthetics since its introduction. The sneakers incorporate team-specific colorways, patterns, and design elements that pay homage to each city's unique culture and heritage.
Featured Designs Include:
- Boston Red Sox:
- Chicago White Sox:
- Los Angeles Dodgers:
- Miami Marlins:
- Arizona Diamondbacks:
- Chicago White Sox:
Innovation Meets Comfort
The Air Max 270 continues Nike's legacy of innovative cushioning technology, featuring the largest Air unit ever in a Nike shoe at the time of its introduction. This makes the City Connect Pack not just a style statement but a comfort-forward choice for everyday wear.
"Baseball culture has increasingly influenced streetwear over the past decade," explains Nike's Head of Baseball Product Design, Jessica Moreno. "With this pack, we wanted to honor that crossover appeal while giving fans new ways to show hometown pride beyond the ballpark."
"The City Connect series changed how teams express local identity. With this footwear collection, we're extending that narrative from the field to the streets." — Marcus Stevens, Nike MLB Creative Director

The Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack is available now through Nike's website, select retail partners, and team flagship stores.
