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.
Blurring the lines between dugout and sidewalk, the new Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack fuses the explosive performance technology of basketball with the Distinct Local Identity™ of MLB’s most popular uniform series. This is baseball culture, redefined for the streets.
The design philosophy pulls directly from the unique color palettes and graphic elements of each team’s City Connect uniforms. Expect to see the Boston Red Sox's "Boston Type" civic pride, the Chicago White Sox's bold "Southside" script, and the Los Angeles Dodgers's vibrant "Los" logo translated onto the sleek upper of the Air Max 270. Each pair is a story, a piece of the city you can wear.
True to its name, the sneaker boasts the colossal 270-degree Max Air unit—the largest in Nike history—delivering unmatched comfort and a sky-high profile that mirrors the towering home runs we see lighting up ballparks this season. It’s a sneaker built for the ninth-inning walk-off and the post-game city stroll.
The pack is available starting today on Nike SNKRS and at select retailers. While the race for the pennant is still anyone's game, the battle for best-dressed feet this summer already has a clear frontrunner.
