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 wait is finally over for baseball and sneaker enthusiasts alike as Nike drops its highly anticipated Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack. This special collection pays homage to MLB's City Connect jerseys, translating their vibrant designs and local inspiration into street-ready footwear.

Available now through Nike's website and select retailers, the pack features 270s silhouettes for several MLB clubs including:

• Boston Red Sox
• Chicago White Sox
• Houston Astros
• Los Angeles Dodgers
• Miami Marlins

"When we first launched the City Connect jerseys, we knew there was potential to extend this aesthetic beyond the diamond," said Nike's MLB design lead Marcus Chen. "The Air Max 270 gives us the perfect canvas to showcase these designs while delivering the comfort and technology that our consumers expect."

Signature Design Elements

Each pair in the collection incorporates:

• Team-specific City Connect colorways
• Special edition tongue tags with team logos
• Subtle nod to each city's unique identity in the pattern details
• The iconic Air Max 270 air unit in a coordinated color finish

Baseball may just be approaching the All-Star break, but Nike has already hit a home run with this innovative crossover between performance sports and streetwear culture.
