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 Swoosh is expanding its footprint in baseball culture with today's surprise drop of the Air Max 270 MLB City Connect Pack, immediately becoming this summer's must-have baseball lifestyle item.
Key Features:
- Special edition colorways matching 8 MLB team's City Connect jerseys
- 270-degree visible Air unit for superior comfort
- Breathable mesh upper with team-specific embroidery
- Dual-layer heel clip featuring MLB team logos
The pack includes designs for the Boston Red Sox, Chicago White Sox, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami Marlins, San Francisco Giants, Washington Nationals, and the surprising breakout - the Kansas City Royals' neon blue and yellow scheme that's dominating merchandise sales this season.
21st Century Baseball Fashion
Since introducing the MLB City Connect series in 2021, Nike has fundamentally changed how baseball teams present themselves to local communities. Outdoor & Casual Critics editor Marcus Lane observes: "Nike's move into MLB footwear bridges the gap between on-field performance and streetwear credibility - fans aren't just wearing team logos anymore, they're wearing the entire civic identity Nike helped these teams craft."
