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. Continuing to push sartorial boundaries, the Swoosh has just dropped the highly anticipated Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, merging diamond-level performance with iconic streetwear style.

This exclusive collection celebrates the groundbreaking City Connect series of jerseys, which have redefined team identities and captivated fans across the nation. Each sneaker in the pack is a wearable piece of civic pride, meticulously designed to mirror the unique colors, textures, and spirit of its corresponding city.

A Home Run in Design and Comfort

Built on the supremely comfortable Air Max 270 platform, known for its largest-ever Air unit for maximal cushioning, these kicks are designed for all-day wear from the ballpark to the city streets. The uppers utilize a mix of premium materials including breathable mesh, durable synthetic leather, and subtle textured overlays that echo elements of the team's City Connect jerseys and local culture.

The attention to detail is what sets this pack apart. From custom "MLB" branded tongues and team-specific lace jewels to iconic city skyline patterns embossed on the insoles and the signature color-blocking that makes each pair instantly recognizable.

Which Teams Made the Cut?

The initial launch features some of the most popular and visually striking City Connect programs:

• Boston Red Sox ("The443"): Featuring the iconic yellow and blue scheme, with "Boston" script lettering inspired by the local "T" system.
• Chicago White Sox ("South Side"): A bold black and white canvas with neon green "Southside" hits and graffiti-inspired details.
• Los Angeles Dodgers ("LA")
• Miami Marlins ("Calle"): A riot of color inspired by the Calle Ocho festival, with salmon pink, blue, and deep crimson tones.
