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 latest proof comes in the form of the Nike Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, a special edition sneaker collection that celebrates baseball's cultural connection with local communities through each team's unique City Connect uniforms.
The Air Max 270 MLB collection features colorways inspired by ten MLB teams with notable City Connect uniform aesthetics, including:
- Chicago White Sox - "Southside" edition
- Boston Red Sox - "Yazu" edition
- Los Angeles Dodgers - "Los Dodgers" edition
- San Francisco Giants - "The Bay" edition
- Washington Nationals - "District of Columbia" edition
Each sneaker features premium materials and technical details that mirror aspects of the City Connect jerseys, from the oversized team wordmarks embroidered on the tongue to the pattern details on the translucent outsoles.
"Since introducing City Connect jerseys in MLB, we've seen how these special edition uniforms honor each club's local identity," said Nike Baseball VP of Design, Danielle Tremblay. "Extending that storytelling to footwear was a natural evolution, letting fans represent their teams in exciting new ways beyond the diamond."
