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 Ultimate Baseball Lifestyle Collection
The newly released Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack represents the perfect marriage between performance innovation and streetwear aesthetics. This collection takes inspiration from MLB's popular City Connect program, which has reimagined traditional baseball uniforms through loca-lensed designs that celebrate each team's community identity.
What makes this release particularly significant is how it extends beyond the diamond, bringing baseball culture to the streets through Nike's iconic Air Max 270 silhouette. Each pair in the collection features colorways and design elements directly pulled from the City Connect uniforms that have captured fans' imaginations across the league.
Notable Designs in the Collection

Breathing New Life Into Baseball Fashion
Nike's commitment to the City Connect program has fundamentally changed how fans engage with baseball apparel. The traditional home whites and road grays have been joined by creative alternates that tell unique stories about each MLB city. This Air Max 270 pack continues that narrative off the field.
The timing of this release is strategic, dropping as baseball reaches the point in the season where storylines begin to crystallize. While teams battle for postseason positioning, sneakerheads and baseball fans alike can showcase their team pride through footwear that blends sport and style seamlessly.
"The City Connect program has been about bringing communities together through design. With this Air Max 270 pack, we're extending that conversation beyond the ballpark and into daily life."
Technical Specifications
Beyond the visually striking designs, the Air Max 270 maintains its reputation for comfort with its largest-ever heel Air unit, providing all-day comfort whether you're heading to the ballpark or navigating city streets. The breathable upper materials and durable rubber outsole make these as functional as they are fashionable.
The Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack is available now at select retailers and Nike.com, with prices starting at $160. As the MLB season continues to unfold, these sneakers offer fans a new way to connect with their favorite teams beyond the traditional cap or jersey.
